So, Steve, I'm not getting at you personally, so please don't take 
this the wrong way. It's my understanding that you use BC with 500 in 
it and that you spray 500 and 508 all the time and yet you have this 
fungal problem.

What do you make of it? Is there something that you would do 
differently next year to stop the outbreak rather than treat it?

I, too, got massive downy outbreaks after the torrential rains and 
cold days and nights. This on top of me thinking I could cure my 
'rotting summer squash fruit' problems by applying more 508 in the 
fall and early spring.

What say? Anyone?

Thanks -Allan
