Yes, you can mix Azoxy and Fungus Pro. Just remember that Fungus Pro is a contact fungicide, so you want it sitting on the foliage for as long as possible. Ideally, check the forecast and make sure you’ve got a good 4–5 day window without rain after application.
I wouldn’t apply Fungus Pro prior to rain. Being a contact fungicide, once it’s washed off the foliage, you’ve lost the protection you applied it for. Although light drizzle is ok as it’s got a natural sticker.
Azoxy is different because it’s systemic and is translocated through the plant. They make a good tank mix option 👍
Out of interest, what is the benefit of spraying together as opposed to rotating them?
@carldrew1 they are different modes of action. Azoxy is a Group 11 systemic, Fungus Pro is a contact. Running them together means you're hitting the pathogen from two angles in the one application , the contact product is working on the surface, the systemic is being taken up and moving through the plant. That dual approach is harder for the fungus to deal with than a single mode of action. Rotation is important for Azoxy due to resistance but not with Fungus Pro.
