Disease or pest, which to treat first

Dewayne mater · May 26, 2014

My plants have some combination of issues I'm trying to manage and I'm trying to figure out which issue to attack first. I think my most urgent issues are an appearance of some black mold (small amounts, but...) and a growing population of red spider mites. There is also some early blight too.

I've been using various fungicides like copper mixed with mancozeb, organozide with actinovate, and the like, and recently a good coating of neem and insecticidal soap.

Mold scares me and seems like it can go bad fast so it should be first. Agree?

Bill think I should go the nuclear option on go bleach spray? What is your trigger for that option?

Thanks!
