Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Trying to find a alternative to the Serenade (bt type) fungus control, and I keep coming across this. But most say you need to add oil or soap as a sticker> I know oil is a no-no...what about soap? Any other sticker? molasses? Suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

I believe Eco rose can be use, just remember that it can also increase PH.

Thanks CC..same with the Potassium bicarb. My PH is kind of high already..very hard water in this area.

Eco-rose is apparently the same as Eco-fungicide but under new name (packaging).

The active ingredient is Potassium Bicarbonate at 940g/kg.

I don't know if Eco Rose is available in the US. I've never seen it here. Somewhere on the forum it was mentioned that Eco Rose is mostly Potassium Bicarb but the rest is detergent (I think they said about 6 %). I usually don't suggest using detergent in AP but a drop or two (literally) in a Potassium Bicarb solution that is sprayed on the plants not the beds should be ok. I would use Dawn dish washing liquid as this has been used by some people for plant tissue culture to clean plant parts for cloning.

If the pH is a problem and you can't go this route, I'm not sure what to recommend. Depending on the fungus sometimes using milk helps (powdery mildew).

Full cream milk 1 part / water 9 parts. Only use full cream milk

I'v e heard of milk/cream for powdery mildew, but not anthracnose?? I have anthracnose on my toms.

Got to wing it with the information you gave us chris The milk won't help with anthracnose but keep it in mind for Powdery Mildew.
