Pythium in Pumpkins? Drench rates 2.5-5 lbs/100 gallons.

Keep in mind Alliette is off patent & one of my former coworkers spent time in Austrailia where they can't grow some crops without Aliette. Well he came home a changed man with the new way better labeled Agri-Fos.......

Bill's website is goofy: No direct link to the label.

Left side look for Agri-Fos then label.

Bayer hates guys like Bill & me.....LOL

1 to 3 tablespoon per gallon. I use 3 without problem but I do have disease to treat so I go high. Dave

Same as Dave here. 3 tablespoons per gal. I drench in the root zone.... it's systemic so I don't know the effectiveness applied as a mist.

Pythium in my patch last year as confirmed by the University of WI.

I had to do this quick before i went out of town for a week. I had one plant go down to what looked like pythium but the remaining 3 appear healthy. I ended up with 1 tespoon per gallon and 1 gallon per each of the 3 plants. I was afraid of doing it to strong but looks like i was on the week side. Maybe that is ok as im just trying to "prevent" it not actually battle it. This was applied through the stihl mister blower and everything was misted well and i tried to let it idle and get some to run down to the root zone. Steve will foliar application do any good or does it need to reach the roots to be beneficial. Thanks all!

Mike, Aliette will translocate throughout the plant when applied foliar. I do not believe Aliette works well if hardly at all as a curative. Once the roots are rotten there is no going back. If you had nice green plants before spraying you should be in real good shape. Spray 3-4 week intervals.

Thanks Chris. Plants looked like a million bucks when they were sprayed. (im out of town and havent seen them since) Im just trying to PREVENT at this point. I did have a sick plant but pulled it last week. The remaining 3 look great and im trying to keep them that way. This experience is something new this year. Even though it sucks losing a plant I have learned from it and will better in the years to come because of it.
