| Late blight is endemic in this area and it requires a regular spray regimen to control. Daconil and mancozeb do the job but I would prefer an safer alternative. I have recently learned of Serenade, using Bacillus subtilis, as a control, either by itself or in combination with copper foliar spray. Does anyone have experience using this and can you provide recommendations on the spray schedule? |

| I've seen no references to the efficacy of Serenade or Messenger ( harpin) or similar, being effective in preventing Late Blight. Even the best of the commercial products arent' that good. You've got a terrific resource in NC with Dr Gardeners group in Western NC and if I were you I'd check directly with your local ag ext person to discuss this with him or her. Carolyn |
