Hi just wondering what sorts of fungicides people use on their seedling mix. I usually use mancozeb, but are wondering if better alternatives exist.

Kind Regards

Daconil (active ingredient Chorothalonil ~27%) seems to be the one of choice around these parts.  I'm also experimenting w/ the active ingredient T-methyl which I've only been able to find in the brand Scott as a granular lawn funicide.

The only Fungicide I've been able to spot (at HD) is one labeled "Liquid Copper Fungicide", which is a strong blue liquid that needs to be diluted. I've tried it in several cases: seed pretreatment, root rot, spear pull.

No results at all.  :(
