Grey Mold?

enchantelope · July 21, 2012

Hi Everyone,

Does this look like Grey Mold. I am going to spray this evening with the bleach (8oz Cholorox in a Gallon of water with a squirt of liquid soap (non-antibacterial) ) and I also have a spray I picked up at the local garden center that is called Fung-onil (0.087% Chlorothalonil). Should I spray with that as well, tomorrow? And spray the bleach again the day after tomorrow?

Thanks for your help!

I don't see anything that looks like a fungal infection in that picture. Am I missing something?
Do the Chlorothalonil as a preventative since you have it. Hold the bleach.

oh good. I thought the one on the left, the one that's on it's back, with the gray spot with a crack in it. I thought that was characteristic of gray mold.

not all leaves look perfect, and usually the lower ones will die off as the plant sets fruit and grows much bigger. I just pull them off. Especially in the drought and heat wave, I wouldn't suspect mold unless they are being watered overhead or getting a lot of moisture somehow. Leaves don't look moldy to me either, but I'd spray something preventatively if it makes you feel more comfortable.

That doesn't look like Gray Mold. Just use the preventative unless it starts spreading fast.
