Serenade Garden 708490 Serenade Garden Ready-to-Spray Lawn Disease Control, 28-Ounce

I have problems every year with Septoria spot and I should have tried this from the beginning, but when I got desperate to save the tomatoes I went searching for and found this...I can say that with a lot of removal of infected leaves application of this l may have at least battled to a stalemate...leaves are dying slowly on the bottom but growing well on top and tomatoes are ripening...I will review again next year to evaluate prevention as well as treatment.The sprayer works well but you go through a bottle quickly. I also bought the concentrate refill (it is the same concentration as what is in the sprayer) and find It easy to mix in a spray bottle, with less waste and more control. Just rinse a spray bottle between uses to keep it from clogging. I've been applying about twice a week to keep up with the spotted leaves and weather conditions.I think this would not be a cost-effective organic option for a large garden, but works for my 8x16 suburban plot.Oh right, can't forget to warn you about the smell..it's pretty overpowering when you first spray it, so don't do it the day you are expecting to entertain friends in the yard!

Waste of money. Bottle was empty less than 5 minutes after I started spraying. I didn't even get 500 sq. feet of coverage before the bottle was empty. The area I covered didn't get soaked and I was moving along to make sure that I had enough for the lawn which is approximately 4,000 sq. feet. I've used other products in ready-to-spray bottles and always ended up with at least a 1/4 of a bottle at the end. Very disappointed.

I used this at the first sight of early blight on my tomato plants and powdery mildew on my cucumbers. It did not work. Both seemed to progress uninhibited. Moving on to something else now. Hopefully I'll be able to save them.

Great value and shipped as promised. Same price as local greenhouse. Will order again

Best I have ever used

Good results.

Excellent for peonies!!!

Note this product was discontinued in 2018 and no longer made. The expiration ran out on the very last bottles made in 2018 in 2019. If you end up with an older bottle could have expired quite some time ago. And expiration dates are only good for unopened and perfectly stored products — dry, cool, dark. Typically that means above freezing, at cool room temperature and under 77F and no sunlight or sun shining on bottles to cause hot spots. But each type of product is different. This is not a typical chemical fungicide, it is a biological- a bacteria named bacillus subtilus and this was QST 713 strain. There are other strains and types of bacteria used as biological fungicides. However, if you buy this product in 2020, no matter how perfectly stored, it is no good. In the best of conditions, completely fresh, it only had a 2 year or less shelf life. This has been bought out by BioAdvance company, no longer owned by Bayer. Just spoke to the number on the bottle again. Did so last year when I ended up with 4 bottles of expired product. I just called the number shown above and was confirmed again, still not being made. However you can get the Natria Disease Control (make sure it is the one with the above bacteria mentioned and no 2 in 1 or 3 in one products). It would be in a blue bottle and made fresh though with any biological, I would call the manufacturer and give them the lot number (not the bar code) and have them check when it was made and the expiration date. Don’t let them give you the “most of our products have 5 year expiration” - you want to know about the bottle you have in your hand. Bar code tells you about the product, sales, cost etc. Lot number tells you the date, when and where’s, who, etc that bottle was made. I hope this keeps someone from buying. If you don’t believe me, call the number yourself. 1-877-229-3724. Amazon needs to stop these sales.Note though I rated it as 1 star due to selling product that’s no longer active, the biologicals seem to be working well as long as you use them prior to or very early in the disease process. They aren’t curative but work as a preventative. That said, they may help prevent further issues but aren’t expected to stop mid to severe disease. And they need to be used on a regular schedule typically every week though some biologics have a longer residual time period. Note — read carefully. Sometimes they indicate not to use tap or well (treated) water and sometimes they will indicate to keep pH at a specific level and what it can or can’t be tank mixed with.
