I may be confusing Floretech with Funginex which is a systemic fungicide. I'm sorry I can't find it listed.

Sevin (Carbaryl). Contact insecticide. Controls cucumber beetles. every 7 to 10 days in IPM.

Ambush,(permethrin). Contact insecticide. Controls Squash Vine Borer. every 7 to 10 days in IPM.

Malathion. Contact insecticide. Controls a broads range of pests. every 7 to 10 days in IPM.

Rule of thumb. You should very carefully study each pesticide you use. Apply only at recommended rates.
