This is a very brad based question but we can respond.

No single fungicide will control every disease we might encounter but let's examine the most common issue; Powdery Mildew.

Eagle (myclobutanil) is regularly accepted as the best Powdery Mildew fungicide by commercial farmers & ag agents.

Imidacloprid is a broad spectrum soil applied systemic that no grower should be without. Cucumber Beetles & aphids cannot survive for long with this insecticide. But by iteself, wil NOT control Squash Vine Borsers. For SVB one needs a good contact insecticide.

Bifenthrin is my personal favorite contact but it's restricted use in most states now including CT.
