    Q
    Cease - shelf life
    I know this has a 3 year shelf life (A gallon is a lot for me but with Serenade off the market) Is that from date of manufacture or after opening? How do I make sure I can get the longest possible shelf life (I know indoor storage in dark 70-75F no problem)
    A
    Cease Biological Fungicide will have a shelf life of 3 years (from the date of purchase) if stored properly in a temperature stable environment (between 45 and 75 degrees) and out of direct sunlight.  We get fresh stock in frequently so this item does not sit on our shelves long.

    Q
    Will Cease work on early blight on tomatoes grown in containers?
    A

    Cease Biological Fungicide is labeled to treat Early blight on tomatoes under the section for greenhouse crops, stating as follows:
    "For suppression, begin application when plants are 4 to 6 inches high. Repeat applications on a 5 to 7 day interval or as needed. For improved performance, use CEASE in a tank mix or rotational program with other registered fungicides for Early and Late blight control. Use shorter spray intervals under conditions conducive to rapid disease development."

    However, container grown plants are listed on a different section of the label, with application instructions as follows:
    "Indoors, Outdoors, Field, Greenhouse, Nursery Grown Plants:  Apply CEASE at rates ranging from 2-8 quarts of product in 100-300 gallons of water per acre. Make applications on a 3-
    to 10-day schedule. Begin applications when conditions favor disease development prior to the onset of disease.  Under normal conditions apply CEASE at a rate of 4 qt of product per 100 gallons of spray solution per acre on a 7-day schedule. When conditions favor severe disease development shorten the spray interval or use a higher rate. Thorough coverage is essential for effective disease control. When more diluted or concentrated spray solutions are needed for the type of equipment being used, follow the “Use Rate Determination” section of this label."

    We recommend contacting the manufacturer Bio Works, Inc. directly for further clarification on the distinction between these application instructions at 800-877-9443, or via their website's contact page here.

    How does Cease Biological Fungicide do on wine grapes?
    Vineyard spray management
    A

    Cease Biological Fungicide is not labeled for use on grape vines so we cannot recommend it.  Companion Biological Fungicide would be an alternative that could be used.

    Q
    Can this be used to prevent cedar rust on apple trees?
    A

    Unfortunately, Cease Biological Fungicide is not labeled to be used on apple trees. Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide is labeled to prevent cedar apple rust on apple trees. You would need to apply to the new foliage and before the galls on the cedar tree have dried up. You can also find helpful tips and information from the following University of Minnesota Extension article: https://extension.umn.edu/plant-diseases/cedar-apple-rust.

    Q
    Will Cease work to eliminate shot hole disease on Schip Laurel shrubs?
    If not, what would be a suitable fungicide product?
    A

    Cease Biological Fungicide is not labeled for Shot Hole disease. 
     
    We would recommend treating with a Mancozeb active ingredient product such as Clearys Protect DF Fungicide. This is applied at 0.16 oz to 0.21 oz per gallon. Begin spraying either preventative at bud swell or a bud break and continue through the growing season, or curatively at the first sign of disease. Apply at 7-21 day intervals throughout the season as disease development conditions persist, or follow State Extension Service recommendation for specific disease control practices, provided the 7-day re-treatment intervals and application rates are followed.
     
    Also, make sure not to water your plants from overhead, as it makes the disease worse. Be sure to read the product label and follow the directions completely.

    Q
    Can I add Cease Biological Fungicide to my fertigation system together with water soluble fertilizer?
    A

    Cease Biological Fungicide does give instructions on the label for using in sprinkler/irrigation systems commonly used for chemigation
     
    Do not combine CEASE in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and non-injurious under your use conditions.
