Damaged or senescent plant parts are a very common way in which the fungus gains entry to the plant. The disease has a huge host range, and is active over a wide temperature range. For example, the spray will not work on botrytis, so it is a waste of time and money to apply it if your plant suffers from these conditions. If you want the fungicide to be as effective as possible, you need to spray at the first sign of infection and then you will need to spray it regularly for the rest of the growing season.

Additionally, the fungicides tebuconazole (Provanto Fungus Fighter Concentrate) and triticonazole (Fungus Clear Ultra) are labelled for the control of other diseases on ornamental plants, and could therefore be used legally on Veronica(at the owner’s risk) to try and control the leaf spotting.
