storing mixed fungicides

[TightenUp]

any idea how long i can keep a gallon of water mixed with daconil?

same for a gallon of water with molasses, actinovate and exel lg?

also how do you dispose of the mixtures?

can the molasses mix can go into garden soil and what about daconil mix?

I would guess daconil can be stored in diluted form since they sell it that way as RTU.
Daconil in the soil would be totally useless.
Excel LG is a stable compound, don't see any problem with storing that solution either.
Any organic mixes, especially containing activated living organisms should not be stored, use it the same day, if not used as foliar then in the soil would be excellent.

Daconil does not store well once mixed. This is why I use an Ortho Dial-n-Spray. You add concentrate to the Dial-n-Spray a tablespoon at a time and only use what you need. It mixes as you use it.

You're using Actinovate, Exel LG, AND Daconil? Isn't that overkill?

i plan to alternate every week. i had disease issues last season with just the organics so i'm hoping adding daconil to the regimen will help.

last season i used 1 qt spray bottles but frequently ran out and had to remix a second bottle. i just got a 2 gallon pump sprayer which i can fill halfway for my small jobs and more if need be. just realized how much more efficient the pump sprayer is and how much left over mix i had
