I don't use the dust, don't grow tomatoes coz my place is filthy with
fruit fly, but what about not dusting when the plants are actually in
flower? Don't know if that's practical, just a suggestion.

cheers

I am concerned that after using a tomato dusting powder, that the bees

While I would like to prevent tomato diseases which have decimated my
tomato plants later on in the season, with the leaves curling up, and
going brown and drying up. I am not sure of what do.
Yates do warn of not using the dusting powder, when bees are foraging,
but what else can you do to prevent diseases?
Any ideas anyone?
