Default Phyton 27 and Physan

Hi Jerry,

I cut the label section from Phyton's web site. (www.phyton27.com).
But irregardless of what the label said, I would not recommend mixing
a cooper based chemical with other stuff. When I first started
growing that was one of those basic rules. Things may have changed
over time, but I still follow that rule. I guess that is how urban
legends start.

I have used it on Paphs before and never had any problems. It works
very well to slow the spread of a problem. As for curing problems,
sometimes is works better than others. It is the best thing I know of
for the wet blisters you sometimes get on Phal leaves. Other times I
have had to do multiple sprayings at the higher recommended strength
at the shorter recommended interval before it really kicks in.

Interesting, that's not on my label. All mine says is:

"Phyton 27 is reported compatible with many registered pesticides. However,
before adopting the use of additives and/or combinations for general
applications, test for physical compatibility and noninjury under your
conditions of use. The buyer must assume all responsibility, including
injury or damage, resulting from its misuse as such or in combination with
other materials as tank mix or applied separately."

I'll see what I can find on the web - I've tried in the past and had a hard
time finding anything useful.

How old is your product? Mine's maybe 5 years old so you may have newer
info.

So I assume you use it? Does it work well for you? I'm hoping to stop
brown rot on clear green leaf paphs (roths, etc.).

Thanks,
Jerry

Hi everyone... Does anyone know can I tank mix Phyton 27 and Physan and
spray them together in general on orchids? And does anyone know of a
website that might list this sort of data?


Thanks!

Phyton 27 is a copper based chemical and I would not recommend mixing
it with anything. I think you would just be asking for trouble.

The label says:

Compatibility - Compatible with most fungal and insecticidal
biopesticides when applied at least 2 days before or after
application of the biopesticide. Do not tank mix Phyton-27® with
B-NINE and do not apply Phyton-27® within seven (7) days either
before or after applications of B-NINE, as burning of leaves may
result. Do not tank mix Phyton-27® with strongly acidic
compounds such as Aliette, and do not apply Phyton-27® within
14 days either before or after applications of such products.

I do not mix it with anything and I do a clear watering before
throwing anything else at the plants.
