What kind of treatment do we use on our plants to protect them?
Will the product Seven work?

If you would bother to actually READ the article and side bar it says this:
"Healthy-looking plants should be protected with a fungicide. Conventional gardeners can use fungicides containing chlorothalanil or copper. Several brands are available in garden centers and other retail outlets. Organic gardeners can use copper-based fungicides."
What more do you frickin want????

I have seen a few tomatoes with a different black fungus and some with sun spot. Most in my new garden are sound.

I have been using a product called "Maneb" for years. It seems to be working well. The label states that it is good for early and late blight.

Label tells you how often to use it and the maximum number of treatments per year. It is a wettable powder. You have to put it in a small container and mix with water until it becomes a slurry. Then you can put it in your sprayer with a gallon of water.

Seven is a pesticide and won't help with a fungus. Its good for the japanese beetles.

Have a good garden year!!
