anthracnose control in mango trees
| | |

Hi everyone:
I have two mango trees ('Toledo’ and 'Biscochuelo’) and the heavy dews I get here from Oct to May really put major anthracnose stress on my trees. The biscochuelo seems to be much more tolerant of the winter weather, but my Toledo definitely needs frequent copper spraying or it is defoliated by the fungus.
Question1: Is there an alternative fungicide that I could spray the tree with in the fall/winter that would provide longer lasting protection than the copper sprays? Something systemic would be wonderful, but I am not sure this even exists...
Question2: Do mango trees grow more tolerant of anthracnose as they mature? I grew my trees from seed I got from Cuba about two years ago, so they are relatively young still.
Thanx!
