Anyone use this fungicide? If so, what type of results did you obtain and what was the costs?

Thanks

Not sure of cost & haven't used it.

But Tanos (contains a new Strobilurin from Dupont) must be tank mixed with a contact fungicide like Mancozeb. copper, or Chlorothalonil whenever it is sprayed. It also can't be applied twice in a row. According to the label you must use a different MOA (mode of action) fungicide every other spray.

Tanos is not for the control of Powdery Mildew or Gummy Stem Blight. It is supposed to be good for Downey Mildew, Alternaria, & Anthracnose. I can't vouch for it myself though.

None of this makes Tanos bad. But like most Strobilurin fungicides, it is prone to resistnance issues. So Dupont wants it used in rotation to reduce resistance liklihood.
