A guide to protecting vegetables from fungal diseases

Fungal diseases such as early and late blight, downy mildew and gummy stem blight are among the biggest threats to vegetable crops, especially when humidity is high.

Start with prevention

Avoid overwatering and keep good airflow between plants.
Remove infected leaves as soon as you see them.
Start preventive spraying before symptoms appear in humid seasons.

Choosing the right fungicide

Damthil 56% SC combines chlorothalonil, which protects on contact, with azoxystrobin, which moves into the leaf tissue, for both preventive and curative protection.
