When do you start your prevention sprays program, like copper or Daconil etc.
My plants are still inside of WOW but in few days I will plant out the rest into open ground. Beds are prepped with compost, Gaia rock dust, bat guano. During planting each pot gets smeared into all those mycorrhizae which Dave turned me to last year and it was very helpful.
I have been partial to foliar feedings with Neptune Seaweed, Fish, Molasses, Sea minerals concoctions and will be adding Bio Ag to it.
On prevention side I am planning to use Excel LG with Actinovate and molasses. I do have copper and daconil from last year supplies.... Any suggestions are welcome.
I garden at community veggie plot so there will be Septoria etc stuff, no question about it.

From the first day of exposure, first day of plant out. That's the standard recommendation as once exposed to the air borne fungus it ceases to be "preventative" and becomes only a "slow down control". Frequency of application other than after rain depends on the product used.

Thanks! Any safety net of time with using SCD Bio Ag, obviously the more separated application the better but still... kinda worried about my microbes...
