grey mold after rain

babice · June 26, 2012

MISSION: Rid babice's toms of foreign, bad-guy fungi invaders and provide toms with necessary nutrients to become healthier. Destroy the enemy! Save as many innocent tomato plants as possible.

CODE NAME: "Fungusamungus"

BATTLE PLAN

Sun 6/24: the day the invaders landed: (1) Natria spray at noon, (2) 6pm spray Actinovate + Exel LG (2TBSP) + molasses
Tue 6/26: (1) cut off as many infected leaves as possible without butchering the toms and(2) throw the infected leaves into a garbage bag
Wed 6/27: put down clean, pine bark mulch with goal of having remaining leaves 3-4 inches from mulch if possible
Thu 6/28: Daconil

Sat a.m. - Maxicrop/Molasses/Fish Emulsion soil drench

Sunday - more pruning

After - 3 more weeks of solid prevention: Actino/Exel, skip a day, Neem Oil, skip a day, Daconil, skip a day...start over.

Then I plan to to go to a twice-a-week preventative routine. Want to stop using the Daconil; rotate Actino/Exel with Green Cure and also use Neem Oil regularly due to the added insecticide benefits. I'll use the Daconil when I know it's going to be really humid or after a rain.

If you see any fungi stalking around my deck, let me know!

p.s. I also went ahead and planted the extra toms I had out front...."just in case".
