Default All-purpose tomato dust?


Can somebody with experience recommend the best all-purpose tomato dust
for pests? Or maybe just one or two good names?



There are several on the market, but I find dusts less effective and also more
prone to drift than sprays. Since fungal foliar diseases are more detrimental
to tomatoes in most areas than insects, a good fungicide is a must..One brand
is Copper Dragon which originally contained a copper fungicide and Rotenone.
Recent formulations have replaced the Rotenone with Sevin. If you find a
Daconil., Pyrethin formulation, that would probably be the best.
