  • Asked by Sandy from Medfield, Mass
    06/10/2019
    Q
    Would Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide work to treat peonies infected with phytophthora? Would it be best to treat with a foliage application or a soil drench?
    Disease symptoms are on the upper stem, leaves and petals. There doesn't appear to be any disease at the base of stems, questioning any root disease. I have been spraying with Mancozeb every 7-10 days or so which seems to be helping. Also, can I continue to use Mancozeb alternately with the Agri-Fos treatment.
    A

    Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide can be applied as either a foliage spray or soil drench as directed on the product label.  You can rotate between fungicides to prevent resistance

    Foliar Spray: Apply spray to thoroughly wet all foliage. Application intervals: 14 to 21 days. Repeat as required. 2 to 4 tsp. per gallon of water.

    Soil Drench: Apply each 25 gallons of solution to an area of 100 sq. ft. Follow application with irrigation. Repeat as required. Limit of one application per month 1/8 tsp. per gallon of water.

  • Asked by Peter from Austin, Tx
    04/27/2018
    Q
    Can a soil drench using Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide be used to control leaf spot on Photonia?
    On the instruction leaflet, spraying is listed as the only method. Pls clarify.
    A

    Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide is labeled for use on ornamentals including photinia for bacterial blights, downy mildew, and phytophthora and pythium species as listed on the product label. These listed diseases can be treated with a foliar spray, soil drench, soil incorporation, or bare rooted dipping of transplants. Leaf spot on red tip photinia is typically caused by Entomosporium, for which we would recommend using Fung-onil Multi-Purpose Fungicide Concentrate.

    This article has great tips on cultural steps needed to control Entomosporium leaf spot on photinia.

  • Asked by Hal from Ofallon, Mo 63366

    Q
    Will Agri-Fos help stop fungus already on a willow tree, that appears to have dead branches on half the tree.
    Or is there any product to help on this? The tree is six years old.
    A
    The first thing you should do is get the tree examined 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. Fungicides in general work best as a preventative or when used right at the beginning of the disease.

  • Asked by Caroline from San Pedro Ca
    06/12/2018
    Q
    Is Monterey Garden Phos buffered?
    Avocado expert John Cornel says it is necessary to use a buffered phosphorous acid product when injecting Avocado trees to treat phytophtora diseases. Do you agree?
    A

    Per the manufacturer, Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide is not buffered. Also, one of the experts at Monterey confirmed that the product does not have to be buffered. One of their owners has actually been dealing with the AG industry in California where a lot of avocados are being grown and has been selling this product for injecting avocados. It is labeled for this use and will do the job.

    Q
    How do I apply Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide for American beech canker disease?
    Big beech tree has a green and black mold on bark. Tree guy said it is canker. I can't spray it because it is too tall and big. It is so difficult to find about beech tree canker treatment.
    A

    Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide is labeled for Pine Pitch Canker on ornamental trees caused by Fusarium sublutinans. You would apply Garden Phos as a basal bark spray from the ground level up to 5 feet above the soil line. The manufacturer recommends applying this with PentraBark surfactant. Some canker diseases are not treatable using fungicides. You can read more about beech disease in this article from Penn State Extension. We recommend consulting with an arborist or Master Gardener through your local Extension office if you still need assistance identifying the issue with your tree.

    Q
    Can you tank mix Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide with Bonide Neem Oil?
    I'm spraying grapes for downy mildew and powdery mildew, it would be nice to tank mix and spray once. Is this compatible with neem oil?
    A

    We would recommend that you spray Monterey Garden Phos Systemic Fungicide and neem oil separately in rotation (probably every 2 weeks) for best results. If you plan to mix the products, then we would test on a few plants first for tolerance since oils can cause extra sensitivity on plants if mixed with other products.
