Title: Now Dithane`s gone
Post by: Kepouros on August 02, 2010, 22:25:36
This afternoon I went to my usual Garden shop to renew my stock of Dithane only to be told that Dithane was withdrawn from sale in May.   There is apparently a new substitute, marketed as "Garden Fungicide", but there was none in stock, so I have no idea what it is.

Has anybody got any further information?

I heard about this a few months back. The new one is this:

Its copper oxychloride.

It sounds even less organic than Dithane.  Well done the E.U.
