BT & Serenade ok?
Got a few worms chomping mostly peppers(rather drastically), but I catch them on my nearby tom's. They are small and slimey black( no not slugs) , with white/yellow stripes, I'm sure learning what pest is involved would help, but I squish them immediately in haste, and I don't allow myself to learn what worms they are
Anyway, I need to spray my weekly rotation of Serenade/Actinovate to suppress fungal diseases, and wondered if it its a good or bad idea to mx with BT? I haven't ID'd the worms ,but am sure its from a small moth, as I've seen a few flying around lately. |

Bt has always worked for me.

The BT should do the trick on the worms.
BUT, I would check out some of the other Actinovate threads before mixing it with the BT. Also check the BT label about mixes. While I think the Actinovate will be OK with the mix, I'm not sure about the BT. The other option would be to PM Amideutch as he seems to have the most experience with Actinovate. Carol |

hmm, I have the Safer brand BT, and the label doesn't say anything about mixing w/ other products. At least from what I can read, the label must have gotten wet, as its falling apart.
