Fungus? May be... not sure. It is a bit early for "late blight" (P infestans). However, browning of stem sections is a symptom of it. With Daconil, it is NOT a curative for fungal infections... at least not some of them. It is a deterrent that must be applied prior to significant infections. After the late blight has got a foothold, it is too late for Daconil to be of much effectiveness. 'Round parts here, it WILL manifest itself if weather conditions are suitable (cool, damp). I tell folks on this very simply: "Do not wait. And keep applying every 7 days or so." Nevertheless, my words fall on apparently some deaf ears. Reggie |

| Not sure, but you know how the old saying goes...."Never to thin or too rich or to early for Daconil." :-) I spray mine from early summer on. |
