Ortho MAX Garden Disease Control Concentrate For Insects, 16 oz.

This is my first choice for spraying aloes, agaves, staghorns and other plants for fungus and mites. I’m living a mile from the shore in Southern California and the mild climate encourages plant pests…especially fungus. I’ve tried other fungicides but this seems to work best in dry temperate conditions.

To anyone who uses this product, I highly recommend reading up on literature surrounding Chlorothalonil and its environmental contamination in several states. It also breaks down into hydroxy-2,5,6-trichloro-1,3-dicyanobenzene (SDS-3701), which is 30 times more toxic than the original molecule but isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging of this product. Before using this product, always wear full cover eye protection, this product can potentially blind you. I bought a pair of laboratory goggles just for this, another fungicide. It loses marks on Easy to Use because it requires extra equipment to use relatively safely. Scent gets five stars because I didn't get engulfed in volatile vapors, I can't be any more specific because I don't usually go around sniffing agricultural chemicals. The texture of the product is that of white paint. That said, its a very good product if you need to save your favorite plants. I recommend using it as a root and soil drench. I have used it to save my Rosemary tree with great success but that tree is now an ornamental and I do not collect leaves from it anymore. I also apply it to rot prone Opuntia cactus, bunny ears, etc, and it does the trick. This should be treated as a nuclear option and last resort product.

I have paeonies that I have been struggling to keep alive for the third year now due to black leaf spot . I have always had good result with Ortho products for other purposes and had just found this particular Ortho product this year and decided to give Ortho a go. It has not eliminated the disease which I find very disappointing however it has contained it better and the plants look far healthier than with any other product I have tried so 4 stars not 5 . If you have an Ortho sprayer then application is very easy just dial o setting hook to hose and your all good to go

Well priced and effective pest control concentrate

Worked very well on my leaf spots and as a concentrate it should have many more fill ups

Web page title is "Ortho MAX Garden Disease Control Concentrate for Insects. The product is for fungi. The bottle label and details showing the fungi diseases addressed are correct. It contains daconil. I doubt that there is any insect control This review should be addressed to Amazon, but there seems to be no method to alert them that the web page product title is not correct

Works great wiped out black spot on my tomato plants

Amazon lists this in the fertilizer category, but it is not a fertilizer, it's active ingredient is chlorothalonil, an anti-fungal. The product images show someone pouring a clear liquid, which is not accurate, the product is a thick milky white. You can see images in the reviews section that are accurate where people have complained about it leaking. Yes, it sometimes leaks, and it is messy. I've bought this about 10 times and I can attest it is effective if used every 2-3 weeks during spring and fall to prevent leaf spot diseases, along with removal of diseased branches and fallen infected leaves. I'd add that I think the product label should be included in full for any products like this, hopefully Amazon and Ortho will get their act together and clean up the listing.

My garden planets were having diseases and not growing and mostly died, but after using this wonderful product, my garden planets getting healthy, green, shining, and growing too fast Wonderful treatments, i am glad to have it. Thank you Ortho for saving my plants and my money.

Could be better, still some pest around
