I bought the ready-to-spray bottles of Daconil at Lowes today. That's where I bought plants.

I called before I went to store and they had no idea what I was talking about either. Same at local garden center where I stopped afterwards to get Slug Magic.

I can order concentrate of Daconil/Ortho/Serenade/Bonide online cheaper even with shipping.

I just looked at Agway site and they have 16 oz. bottle of concentrate. I'll call tomorrow and see what their price is for it. There's an Agway about 30 minutes from me.

The closest Tractor Supply is over an hour away.

Thanks for posting availability at TS...I'm sure lots of people have one local to them.

We found Daconil at Menard's this weekend; $6.50 a bottle. I got 2. I think I will check out some websites to see if I can order some concentrate. Thanks for the heads-up; I never thought to try to order it online.

Sue, I was going to try to answer your question from your other post when you asked if Daconil stored in your garage was OK to use so I might as well answer it here.

It depends on what the temps got down to there. I never store any garden products where they might be subject to huge temperature fluctuations.

You also read the e-mail from Ortho that I posted in your other thread which said the effectiveness didn't disappear o/n if the Daconil was stored properly, and to me properly means no temp extremes. And said the shelf lifew was about 3-4 years for the Ortho product concentrate.

I also in your other thread noted where I found my Daconil but since you've started another thread about the same thing I'll just repeat that my local Agway was willing to order Ortho Garden Disease Control for me but the main warehouse in PA was out and so it would be about a two week wait.

My Agway did have the Bonide Fung-Onil which has the same 29.6 % cholorothalonil which a friend will pick up for me tomorrow. And yes, Steve at Agway knew all about a possible LB situation.

Agway has the ability to order almost anything anyone wants if the local store doesn't have it in stock.

Someone in a post above got the ready to spray Daconil and I have heard that it can get "gummy" so I think going with either the Ortho or Bonide concentrates may be the best way to go.

Thanks Carolyn. I started a new thread because I thought more people looking for the product would see it here and others could post where they found it also. Since there may be a formula difference between the Ortho and the Daconil that makes the ortho stable for longer, I will probably try to order that to replace the Daconil. I don't really have any place climate controlled to keep that kind of stuff.

I don't really have any place climate controlled to keep that kind of stuff.

You don't need a place that's climate controlled like a wine cellar or similar, ahem, just keep that kind of stuff somewhere in a closet in your home. That's what I do.

I bought 3 bottles of the Gulfstream branded Daconil at Walmart, theat's the brand they have been carrying around here the last couple years, in a red bottle, see link below. It's the same formulation as the Ortho, 1TBS/Gal for tomatoes.

Also see Mancozeb, another highly rated fungicide. I got a pint of Mancozeb on ebay for under $20 delivered, it's available from horseloverz.com in Hazelton, PA so delivery is just a couple days to the northeast. It was cheaper getting it thru ebay than direct. They also list Bonide Fungonil in 8, 16 & 32oz sizes.

Hope this helps.

Here is a link that might be useful: Daconil $13.73+s/h on Amazon

I guess everything is flying off the shelves!

I'm also curious what the organic or "somewhat organic" crowd will do if it comes down to losing everything or switching over to the "dark side" to save their plants, since very little organic is available that's effective against LB...

I bought a 16 oz bottle of Ortho concentrate for $15 at Home Depot in Greensboro a couple weeks ago:

ditto.... 16 oz concentrate bottle found at home depot in Ft Wayne. Nothing at lowes, walmart, menards... etc.

I got a bottle of the Ortho Garden Disease Control at Lowes in Newton, NJ. They still had quite a few bottles left (at least 10), that was a week ago. I think it was $14.99.
