Spraying Plants Useless Unless It Is Done Right
Virginia Tech plant pathologist S B Fenne warns most garden disease failures come from timing and application, not chemicals. Spray on a regular 7 to 10 day cycle, reapply after rain, and cover all plant parts with a weeded wetting agent. Use stainless steel sprayers, 3 gallon compressed air type, with careful coverage and precise measured amounts.
