Looks interesting.

MissS · February 7, 2017

Well it looks promising. I like that it says that it is bee safe. Not a cure but a preventative and still requires the use of fungicides. I bet that the bleach spray is cheaper. It will be one to watch...

BettaPonic · February 8, 2017

Anyone know where I can get some?

Thanks.

Sounds like it works like actinovate. I tried actinovate for two seasons and it was worthless. This one probably will not work either.

BettaPonic · February 8, 2017

Is this like Aspirin? I have heard of using it the same way.

brownrexx · February 9, 2017

I don't know if this will work or not but I am glad to see companies working to develop products like this instead of more hazardous chemicals.

I use Actinovate and feel that it works for me with blights. I don't have the problems with fungal disease that gardeners in the South have.
