Fungicides for Pine care in Europe

[NeedlesAndLeaves]

I am looking for a fungicide that I can use for Needle Cast en Tip Blight on Pines.
Products like Mancozeb, Chlorothalonil or copper fungicides are not available anymore in the Netherlands as far as I know.

Can someone from the Netherlands or Western Europe advice me on a simular product?

 

[NeedlesAndLeaves]

I have been using those products for a while but it is not affective on my pines.

This pine has the worst looking needles.
And it is only a seedling which I bought this year from a well known bonsai plaza.

My other Black, Red, White and Scots Pines are starting to show simular signs. (Already before I added the seedling.

And can someone tell what those little banana looking guys are? I saw them today for the first time. And only on my Scots Pines.

Thanks for any advice

Those bananas are sawfly eggs. Squish them.
Needle cast is not a problem per say, the plant doesn't suffer a lot from it.
When the needles emerge, spray with copper sulphate and it should be prevented.

For some reason, probably the soil biome, I have no needlecast in my collection apart from maybe 5-10 needles per plant. Not something that is worth treating for me.

Are your plants in an area close to wild trees?

Not directly. I live close to the coast with sand dunes with many Pines. Just one km away.

Thanks for the reply. Is this something usuable for Pines?

Every pine I have had here always has sawfly eggs and larvae on them. They are annoying though easy to remove and they do indeed remove the needles.

Yes, that's the good stuff. A speldenknopje or two in a liter of water should be sufficient for a spray.
