Phal problem. Help!
Aaron pointed out the link, and he didn't even say that the information was
correct, did he? Mixing chemicals without precise knowledge of potential reactions is risky. I haven't read the article, but the malathion and Funginex mixture , for example, is likely replaced with Orthenex - Orthene and Funginex. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies, Books, Artwork, and Lots of Free Info! .. . . . . . . . . . . "Pat Brennan" wrote in message m... Hey Aaron are you recommending we mix chemicals as suggested in the link you provided to the group? Or is there some sort of never never mix chemicals rule? Or is this just a special case? No toxic precipitate? No trashed buffers? Or just a change of mind? Pat (Aaron Hicks) wrote in message ... Not that I've ever seen it myself, but I am reminded of the mysterious "microfungus" that has been described elsewhe http://www.orchidmall.com/general/microfun.htm One curative consists of Ortho malathion and Funginex: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Recreation.../magnov95.html Another alternates 3 fungicides: http://www.soos.ca/Newsletters/2002/May2002News.htm I personally know nothing about it and, to make things worse, had to manually enter the above URLs so I *hope* they work- no cut and paste. Feh. At the very least, someone with a confirmed case of microfungus should send some leaves off for diagnostic purposes. Perhaps a lab in FL or CA that handles lots of orchids. The state plant pathologist in New Mexico raises orchids; I don't know if she's ever seen this. Do not reply to the address in the header. All mail going there gets sent to the FTC without being read. Spam magnet! -AJHicks Chandler, AZ |
