To control powdery mildews, begin treatment 2 weeks before disease normally appears.
Alternatively, begin treatment when disease first appears, and repeat at 7 to 10 day
intervals for as long as needed. Spray every 7 days when the amount of disease is
increasing rapidly. If possible, time applications so that 12 hours of dry weather follow
application. On plants that are very susceptible to powdery mildew, such as home­greenhouse-grown cucumber, it is best to spray the plants twice a week during the first 2
weeks after emergence, and weekly thereafter. On outdoor plants, re-apply after rain.

To control downy mildews, leaf and fruit spots, blights, and rust, begin treatment
2 weeks before disease normally appears or when weather forecasts predict a long
period of wet weather. Alternatively, begin treatment when disease first appears, and
repeat at 7 to 10 day intervals for as long as needed. Spray all plant parts thoroughly.
Re-apply following heavy rain. Apply every 7 days when the amount of disease is
increasing rapidly. Sprays every 5 to 7 days should be used for preventing late blight
on potato and related plants. If possible, time applications so that at least 12 hours of
dry weather follows application.

To prevent fruit rots, spray Bonide Liquid Copper Fungicide RTU thoroughly onto
flowers and fruit. Apply at the start of flowering and continue every 7 to 10 days until
harvest. Fungicidal sprays are especially warranted when weather forecasts predict a
long period of wet weather. Re-apply after rain.
