Apply on still, cloudy days, spraying evenly to wet upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. The leaves must just be wet and no run-off coming from the leaves. Do not apply near food crops as it can contaminate the plants in question. Botrytis cannot be treated with this fungicide Similar non-chemical control measures can help to prevent infection by leaf spot fungi, downy mildew and grey mould,which are all 'wet weather' diseases (see the 'biology' section, below): The RHS believes that avoiding pests, diseases and weeds by good practice in cultivation methods, cultivarselection, garden hygiene and encouraging or introducing natural enemies, should be the first line of control. If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner. Non-chemical control

Shake the mixture and then use it on your affected plants immediately. It does not store well and any product made will have to be used within a couple of days. This is a fungicide for the control of some fungal infections of flowering plants, ornamental plants, trees, shrubs, particularly roses and conifers. It is not suitable for edibles in particular soft fruit and vegetables. You need to use fungicides suitable for vegetables and fruits such as Weedkil, Bug and Mildew Plant Control for fruit and vegetables. It can be used in the garden, greenhouse, conservatory and for houseplants. Distorted leaves are often the first sign of infection, especially with the larger-leaved cultivars. A grey/mauve felt-like 'fungal' growth appears on the under-surface of the leaves, with diffuse purple-red or yellow patches developing on the corresponding upper surface.There are no fungicides available to amateur gardeners with activity against downy mildewor grey mould. Theproducts above also have recommendations for control of powdery mildew, as do products containing sulphur(Fungus Clear Ultra 2, Mildew Clear for Edibles, Roseclear 3-in-1 action (with fatty acids)).

The fungicide tebuconazole with trifloxystrobin (Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus, Toprose Fungus Control & Protect) has a recommendation for the control of leaf spots on ornamental plants. Additionally, the fungicides tebuconazole (Provanto Fungus Fighter Concentrate) and triticonazole (Fungus Clear Ultra) are labelled for the control of other diseases on ornamental plants, and could therefore be used legally on Veronica(at the owner’s risk) to try and control the leaf spotting. It can also enhance plants as it has plant oils that will make the leaves on your plants look stunning and healthy. Ensure that any leaves falling prematurely from an infected plant are collected up and disposed of (by burning, burial or consigning to the council green waste). Heavily-infected shoots could be trimmed off and disposed of in the same way. For example, the spray will not work on botrytis, so it is a waste of time and money to apply it if your plant suffers from these conditions.It is particularly good at these fungal diseases but it can also have some effect in tree suffering from anthracnose and conifers from leaf blight. For other fungal infection in the garden, it will be a trial and error process. It may treat it or it may not have any effect at all. IT WILL NOT WORK WITH PLANTS SUFFERING FROM BOTRYTIS The FungusClear Ultra Gun is a ready to use spray that fights existing fungus infections, protects new growth, and shines leaves. Postcodes: AB31 – AB38, AB41-AB56, BT1-94, FK17 – FK21, G83, GY9, HS1 – HS9, IM, IV1 – IV49, KA27-28, KW0 – KW99, PA20 – PA99, PH15 – PH99, TR21-25, ZE1 – ZE3 FungusClear Ultra uses a three in one action to control fungal diseases on roses, other flowering and ornamental plants, trees, shrubs and conifers in the garden, greenhouse, conservatory and home.

It is time to see if there is another fungicide that can be used if the others do not live up to the promise. As we often walk around the garden after it has been dry, you often observe powdery mildew on your plants, or conversely, it has been raining non-stop and your plants have various brown spots on them. Will not work with all fungal infections on all plants. You may waste your money but this is uncertain until you have tried the product on your plants. Use on roses, other flowering and ornamental plants, trees, shrubs and conifers in the garden, greenhouse, conservatory and home. Downy mildewrequires cool wet weather for infection and spread. The 'fungal' growth seen on the underside of the leaves produces large numbers of asexual spores.Downy mildews are host-specific, so for example thedowny mildew affecting a Veronica will not infect a rose or vice versa. Once the disease is controlled, the active ingredient in the spray will protect the plant for a certain time from further fungal infections.Spray evenly, to just wet upper and lower surfaces of leaves. Avoid spray run-off from leaves. Avoid spray drift onto food crops Asexual spores (conidia) of the g rey mouldfungus are always present in the air. They require leaf wetness or very high humidity to germinate and infect. Damaged or senescent plant parts are a very common way in which the fungus gains entry to the plant. The disease has a huge host range, and is active over a wide temperature range. Chooseless susceptible cultivars if downy mildew becomes a persistent problem. It is mainly a problem withbroad-leaved cultivarssuch as Veronica‘Midsummer Beauty’ and x ‘Franciscana Variegata’ but also occasionally present in some of the smaller-leavedspecies and cultivars,e.g . V. albicans, V. ‘Frozen Flame’ , V. rakiensis, V . ‘Youngii’ (syn. ‘Carl Teschner’) .

Beyond defense, FungusClear Ultra goes the extra mile by elevating leaf shine through the infusion of plant oils. Stemphyliumsp. causessmall, dark brown or purple spots on the leaves. The spots do not merge together, nor enlarge in size. The centre of the lesion can sometimesbecome pale in colour. The infected leaves shrivel prematurely and can either remain on the plant or drop off. Under certain environmental conditions some Stemphylium speciesare thought to be able to produce a sexual stage, and spores liberated from the fruiting bodies of the fungus in this scenario could account for the overwintering survival of the fungus and its long distance dissemination. Further information on the management of downy mildews, powdery mildews and grey mould can be found in the advice profiles on the links below:Protects new growth, protecting plants for over 3 months (when used at intervals recommended in instructions for use) It is a great product and well worth the investment of time and effort. I know not everybody like to use organic products but sometimes you need a product that can control severe outbreaks. A fungicide that eliminates and protects, a wonderful addition to any gardener range of fungicides. Prolonged leaf wetness is not required for infection by p owdery mildew, but high humidity is, so providing good air circulation is still important. Avoid drought stress and the overuse of nitrogenous fertilisers. Chemical control A schedule of 5 applications can offer protection lasting up to 4 or 5 months, depending on the plant
