Hey Terry,  you might want to consider cover cropping with some brassica's.  I have some wilting here and there from all the rain and standing water.  There are some studies about brasicas helping with fusarium wilt, fungi's, nematodes and soil pests.  I always plant lots of them for target plants.  The bugs and catipillars tear them up allowing other plants to get a good start.  It also shades the soil and keeps it living.  I have been collecting seeds and plan on cover cropping the whole garden.  It's about time to start sowing them so I thought you might be interested.
 
Here is some info

Thank you.  I will take a look at that link you provided.
 
I have not lost anymore plants, the Agri-Fos seems to have provided some relief.  Some of the plants look like crap after some leaf drop and spotting after the application.  I went a bit heavy on the foliar spray to try and stop the fungus.
