Does the use of a systemic fungicide (say, Ridimol Gold)have any effect on the Mycorrhizae living on the pumpkin plant's roots? Just a little curious :)

Cheers and God bless,
Ben

Here is a great document that lists the compatibility of fungicides and Mycorrhizae. It looks like Ridomil Gold is compatible.
Hope this helps.

You got to know your poison. I'll paste in a link here for a page that rates various fungicides and their effects on mycor. It is a concern worth a little study.
I always encourage people do know what the actual chemical (or chemicals) in a brand are. The cute trade names don't tell the whole story. And follow directions.

Ps, Ben always enjoy your postings.
