It is another case of something accepted in a certified organic program which is
not quite good to use. I agree about a last ditch effort. When you're about
to lose a greenhouse of plants, it's hard not to do everything possible and
still maintain certification standards.

Not really a very good product from my view, unless it was used in an
organic cash crop as a last ditch effort to save the crop and maintain
the organic certification. Like any fungicide it would likely take out
beneficial fungi inhabiting the leaves and render the crop defenseless
against other pathogens.

The sensible approach to disease and insect control is to grow sturdy crops in a healthy environment."
