I've used the Bonide Tomato and Vegetable 3 in 1, but it was in the ready to use form (not concentrate). I've only had to use it on earwigs (an ongoing battle but I'm finally getting the upper hand) and occasional blister beetles and squash beetles. Amazingly I don't have any aphids. I haven't used Bonide as a fungicide.

It worked well when sprayed directly on the little monsters but I didn't see any lasting repellent effects, I guess because Pyrethrin breaks down quickly. That would be a plus for the good bugs in the yard.

When I see a potential insect issue I use Bonide 3 in 1 in the ready to spray form.

For a fungicide I greatly prefer Daconil over the 3 in 1 but the Bonide serves a need for me so I use it and it hasn't let me down.

There used to be a copper dust with rotenone and copper that I would mix into a liquid and spray. This was a few years back. It worked quite well. Then I found out how hazardous it was to fish not to mention that I had to wear a mask to keep from inhaling the dust. Now they have the copper all by itself, which I haven't used on plants but weirdly enough there is a product for livestock hooves, mostly horses, called Kopertox which I have used for like 20 years and it is indeed a powerful anti fungal.

I did notice with the copper spray that if you spray too heavily you will wilt your plants. Use it sparingly.

The last 10 years or so,I've pretty much used nothing but SEVIN & DACONIL, about once every 7-10 days.Or oftener if we get a lot of rain and high humidity.

I'm using the copper concentrate and really like it so far. I use it at dusk to let it dry before the sun comes up. I could see it burning the plants if sprayed at the wrong time.
