Vapor gaurd question

clkeiper · May 8, 2014

Has anyone used vapor guard or a similar product on their tomatoes as the season progresses to prevent blight from starting?

Is that the same Vapor Guard that is an anti-transpirant?

Yes, I was wondering if anybody has tried it to keep a barrier between the spores and the surface of the leaf.

My two trials with Stop Wilt (pine resin polymer) have been disappointing. The leaves wound up deformed, thickened, and fruit set seemed to be nearly stopped. Bleach water and standard preventatives have not reduced fruit as noticeably.
