Septoria on Sunflower

9 years ago

Hi, I've got two sunflowers that seem to have become infected with Septorria leaf spot. I've had to cut off all of their bottom leaves, leaving only the top, which are also starting to be infected. I sprayed the remaining leaves with Daconil but it doesn't seem to be working. I sprayed it quite liberally last night and this morning I saw signs of further infection. I heard it was only a preventive measure?

I'm planning to get some copper fungicide and trying that but I'd like to ask, is there any way to treat/cure septoria once it's infected a sunflower? These are my two main sunflowers, they've already begun to grow a flower and I don't want to lose them and start over. They only have like the top five or six leaves left. I might also try to find a systemic fungicide instead.

Here are some pictures. You can kinda make out the yellowing/browning on the leaves. The white residue is from the Daconil I sprayed.
