Provanto - Fungus Fighter Concentrate - Eradicates, Controls & Protects for Up To 3 Weeks - Garden Care, Plant Protection, Concentrated Fungicide, Use Indoor & Outdoor on Ornamental Plants - 125ML

I had about 50 box trees in my garden which suffered from a huge attack of box blight in 2020, many of the trees defoliated in a matter of days and I had no idea what had caused this to happen. I did some research and after identifying the fungus (a black line on the infected tree branches) I pruned the deadwood out, sprayed the trees with Provanto Fungus Fighter and 2 weeks later sprayed them with Top Buxus Health-Mix (available here at the time of writing). I continued doing this as per the instructions for the rest of the year and also during 2021. The results were amazing and I've added a box hedge as a result. I can't say that this is purely down to Provanto, as I did use another product and a different pruning technique, but this approach has seen my trees flourish. I will be spraying and pruning again this year (2022) in exactly the same way, fingers crossed the results remain positive. Other reviews: "The container is fiddly to open" Yes it is, but you don't want a child playing with this stuff. "It's expensive" I have about £4,000 with of box trees in my garden and there's enough fungicide to treat them for a year in this £10 bottle. "It's impossible to get it out of the container" I managed it, I just read and followed the directions. "It's a tiny bottle" Yes, but it's a concentrate and you dilute it. Theres enough liquid to treat 80 trees four times over. "Did not stop the problem" Combined with Top buxus and effective pruning, it stopped it for me. Look at my pics. "You need your own spray bottle, which is ridiculous" And when you buy tea bags from Amazon, you should really get a free cup eh? All in all, a great product which worked for me. I'm on my 3rd purchase.

Not sure it got rid of the tomato fungus itself as it was quite severe, but stopped it spreading. I couldn’t identify what the actual sickness was but I pruned the wilted and black leaves and applied this and it’s not come back. I’d tended those tomatoes all summer and were just fruiting when it hit. Luckily I’ve now managed to enjoy my first ever home grown tomatoes! This bottle is one of the most retarded and complicated designs I’ve ever seen. Literally ridiculous. FYI you need your own spray bottle.

The best product I’ve found in this category

Effective product. Last year I lost my cosmos plants very early to a fungal mildew. This year the same thing happened but this spray allowed them to limp on until the end of the season. I had to reapply it, but the bottle goes a long way. The dispensing cap is novel and a bit awkward to use, but it does the job. This is one of the only products listed on the RHS website for consumer fungal treatments. Just a shame it's not viable for edibles like the premixed version. Being a concentrate however it is far far cheaper.

This product worked really well and cleared up the problems quickly. Only problem is the measuring system built into the bottle. I found it overly complicated. A little measuring lid would be much more user friendly.

Always better value to get the concentrate but I was a little worried about the type of "measuring bottle" as I have previously had trouble with this sort of packaging. All OK though and I am able to make up a spray bottle of 750ml for my partner to use on the roses. The roses all picked up within a day and got lots of shiny foliage and new buds. He now uses it regularly so not quite so economical as I had hoped !!

I’ve been using this in alternation with Fungus Clear Ultra (a different type of fungicide) on my Escallonia hedge row badly affected by leaf spot disease. After a few applications of both, it seems to be working and has restored vigour. I had absolutely no issues with the dispensing system, just read the instructions and it’s no bother.

One of the best products to spray each spring and summer
