If not, what would be a suitable fungicide product?
Cease Biological Fungicide is not labeled for Shot Hole disease.Â
Â
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.
Â
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.
