Anyone willing to sell a smaller quantity of indar? EDIT: and discussion of other brown rot solutions for apriums

I use Topsin-M + Captan on peaches. Once I am about 2 weeks from harvest, I switch to Quash as a brown rot preventive which has a cutoff at 14 days pre-harvest. If I need more brown rot control at harvest, I use Luna Sensation.

Those are pricey but I am selling peaches so worth it.

I’d forgotten that Topsin comes in water soluble packets. I can see how that may be a problem getting it all used for one spray for a backyard orchard.

I think Toledo is fine. It has the same rating for brown rot on peaches as propiconazole in the Midwest spray guide. The only reason I’ve not used Toledo is that propic is slightly cheaper on a per acre basis. But the propic I buy is in 2.5 gal jugs, which would be too much for a backyard orchard. So Toledo is a really good option for a backyard grower, since it comes in much smaller packaging.
