Tools Needed
To use Dithane M-45 Fungicide, you will need a handheld sprayer.
How to Use
- Step 1: Determine how much Dithane M-45 Fungicide to use by measuring the square footage of the treatment area. To do this, measure the length and width of the treatment area in feet then multiply them together (length X width = square footage). Every finished gallon will treat approximately 1,000 sq. ft. For ornamentals, use 1 ½ teaspoons for every 1 gallon of water. For corn, use 1 ½ teaspoons per gallon. For cucumbers and melons use 2-3 teaspoons per gallon. For tomatoes, use 1 1/2-3 teaspoons per gallon west of the mississippi river or 1 ½-2 teaspoons per gallon east of the mississippi river. Refer to the label for minimum required wait time from last spray to harvest.
- Step 2: Fill the sprayer with half the amount of water, add the specified amount of Dithane M-45 Fungicide, then pour in the remaining half of water. Maintain a consistent agitation until the product is fully dissolved with water and during the application process.
- Step 3: Thoroughly spray the area just to the point of runoff, including upper and lower surfaces of foliage.
