Re: howd'ya do
When you apply it just spray it on lightly, don't use it to water in. What it does is to set back the mycelial growth of the fungus. It does not kill it. But, if you improve the conditions for your seedlings [by decreasing the humidity factor]the seedlings will outgrow the stage during which the fungus is able to infect the stems. at about 1 wk after germination, most seedlings develope a tough coat over the outsie of the stem which prevents fungus infections. But the humidity must not be so high as as to allow the mycelium to penetrate into the cell walls by riding on water droplets. As soon as the surface becomes too dry to support the myceliel growth, the fungus dies. good luck
