    Q
    Can I use Docket DF - Generic Daconil Fungicide on a Weeping Willow tree?
    The tree has spots, leaves turning yellow and falling off
    A

    Docket DF - Generic Daconil Fungicide is not labeled to be used on Weeping Willow trees. We would recommend a product like Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide that is labeled for use on Willow trees. We would also recommend having the tree examined first by a trained arborist. The arborist will be able to tell you what type of disease/fungus the tree has and whether or not it can be saved.

    Q
    Can Docket DF - Generic Daconil Fungicide be used for Dothistroma Needle Blight?
    Was told my Austrian pine has Dothistroma Needel Blight and was wondering if I can use Docket DF to treat this - if so please let me know what of year to begin doing this and if not the right treatment, what product do you carry that would address this?
    A

    Docket DF - Generic Daconil Fungicide is not labeled for Dothistroma Needle Blight so we cannot recommend it for this use. This disease is also not common this time of year so we would recommend making sure the disease has been correctly identified. It does appear that copper fungicides can be used as a preventative.  There is a great guide by University of Kentucky here that can help.

    Q
    For Spruce mix when apply Docket DF, can I use the Daconil Ultrex label, which is an identical product concentration of chlorothalonil 82.5%?

    These products are not labeled for applications to treat spruces in residential areas.  The only product that we do carry that does not say it cannot be used on blue spruce for needlecast is the Clearys Spectro.  Please be aware that just because it the product can still bleach the trees which is the problem with most products when using on blue spruce.
