Hi I'm new and posting on behalf of my father.
He would like your recommendations for a suitable fungicide for botrytis
on tomatoes, cucumber (both in-doors), strawberry and gooseberry mildew
(both out-doors).
Perhaps more than one product maybe required.
He has previously used Dithane 945.
Thanks

The only fungicide I ever use is copper.

I use copper and Sulfur. When the dew point is above 65 F. and you
plant densely it does help some. I try to spray before I see the
problem like weeding by hand before they emerge.

You may try opening your plants up to more sunlight and ventilation
(stronger lights, and fans) to reduce favorable conditions for mold
development.

the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are
cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is
spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of
its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the
clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
