Rick,
One source of Benomyl is Peter Pauls Nursuries. I know...I know.... this
organization is considered to be of ill repute by most of us on the list
(myself included) but I do know for a fact that they carry this product. I
bought a bottle of Benomyl and their book and I will probably never need to
do business with them again. The cost was $6.50 and they have a web page.
Toby posted recently that he would not use Benomyl. I am not saying he is
wrong. I use it because it is the only product I have ever seen advertised
for use specifically on CP's. I have used it on VFT's, Drosera (dries up
the musciledge), Ping's, and a N. Madagascarienses with no real ill effects.
This is not to say that I recommend Benomyl in any way! I am only telling
of my own experience. It seems to control damp off fairly well but has had
no effect on what I think others have called crown rot on Mexican Ping's. I
lost three in the last two weeks:( (sorry Andrew). My P. Morensis is the
only one to survive so far and it is even flowering for the first time:)
If anyone knows of a better fungicide let us all know!
Just my $0.02
