Can't answer your specific question but you may consider spraying non fat milk on the leaves as well as doing compost tea between fungicide applications. There are some descent studies that show that both can be effective.

Miss FF, be careful...have heard over and over that repeated apps of the same fungicide, will make the plant nonresponsive (immune) to that fungicide!!! Rotate products!!! Might be the problem already!!! Immunity building in the plant to the same product!! What products are you using? Peace, Wayne
PS...hopefully Tremor will post the tutorial again here!!! A great lesson for all!!!

Eagle 20EW. I believe this will work better for PM than anything you have listed above...especially better than subdue, aliette, warrior. Eagle is VERY strong stuff from my experience. Probably only 3-5 applications per season.

Chris is correct. Eagle (myclobutanil) is the best PM fungicide.
Rotate with chlorothalonil if possible.
A 20% solution of low fat milk works too.

Neptunes Harvest applied regularly has helped me combat PM.
