Press Release Body = Gardening is a wonderful, relaxing hobby for many people, and
it continues to top surveys of favorite leisure activities. Most of the time a
garden provides a soothing, relaxing environment, and healthy, attractive plants.
As with any living thing, however, flowers and plants are prone to a number of
diseases and pest infestations. It is important to use commercial fungicides
properly to banish disease from your garden.

Simply paying attention to the condition of the plants in your garden may be the
best way to keep disease outbreaks at bay. After you have been gardening for
awhile, you will develop a feel for what is normal, and that will make it much
easier to spot any outbreaks before they spread throughout the garden.

In addition, simply keeping the plants in top condition is a great way to prevent
disease. Just as healthier people are better able to fight off infection, so too
are healthier plants. The better the condition of your plants, the more they will
be able to fight off disease.

Even the healthiest plants, however, sometimes succumb to disease, so it is
important to be on the lookout for the first signs of problems so that they can be
treated promptly. Symptoms like holes in the leaves, black spots, white spots and
wounded stems can be signs of trouble. If you notice any of these conditions, it is
important to diagnose and treat the affected plants as quickly as possible. This is
because an outbreak of disease, or a pest infestation, can quickly spread throughout
the garden.

Many of the most common diseases of flowers and plants are fungal diseases, and
these diseases are best treated with a high quality synthetic fungicide. There are
a great many fungicides on the market, and we are providing a list of some of the
most popular and well known fungicides. If you are unsure of the nature of your
plant disease, it is important to seek the help of the staff at your local garden
center, or consult with a more experienced gardener.

It is important to note that the fungicide Chlorothalonil slowly dissipates with
time, but the other fungicides on this list are systemic. Their systemic nature
means that once they are applied to the plant, they are absorbed into the foliage
and the root system. A systemic fungicide works to prevent and cure infection from
within the plant itself. Because of this property, it is important never to use a
systemic fungicide on plants intended for food.

Some of the most commonly used fungicides are:
Chlorothalonil (Daconil) - Chlorothalonil is a multipurpose fungicide with is used
to prevent and treat common fungal diseases which affect lawns, fruits, vegetables
as well as many ornamental and flowering plants.
Theiophanate-methyl - Thelophanate-methyl is a systemic fungicide that is effective
in treating many common plant diseases, including powdery mildew and black spot.
Triadiemefon (Bayleton) - Triadiemefon is a systemic fungicide which is usually used
to prevent and treat powdery mildew and rust. It is also effective against some
lawn diseases.
Triforine (Funginex) - Triforine is a systemic fungicide used to treat and prevent
common fungal diseases such as rust, black spot and powdery mildew. It has also
proven effective against some other diseases of both flowering and non-flowering
plants.
When working with any chemical, including systemic and non-systemic fungicides, it
is vital to follow the direction carefully and to use the minimum effective amount.
Pay particular attention to any warnings on the label, and dispose of any unused
product carefully. It is important to wear protective clothing, such as a breathing
mask, goggles and gloves for protection while applying any fungicide.
