Question:
Can I apply fungicide as soon as I plant tomatoes? Does is hurt pollinators?
Answer:
You should spray fungicide soon after you plant the tomatoes. Gardener Peter Richards explains that the fungal spores splash up from the soil when it rains, or the plants are watered. He says mulch can help with the splashing effect. Also, fungicide does not hurt the pollinators. If you want to be sure, spray in the early morning or late afternoon when pollinators are not actively foraging.
