How to get rid of powdery mildew | Pest and Disease control | Gardening Australia

Jerry demonstrates a solution for tackling the fungal disease powdery mildew. Subscribe 🔔 http://ab.co/GA-subscribe After many years of working on his garden, Jerry feels like it’s a well-oiled machine that is in good balance, but like any gardener he occasionally gets a pest problem that he has to deal with. He makes a lot of organic remedies at home. One regular problem that affects edibles and ornamentals in the subtropics is the fungal disease powdery mildew. Grapes and cucurbits are particularly vulnerable, especially if the leaves are wet at night, which is why it’s always better to water in the morning. Jerry’s solution is milk, which has proved to be very effective. He treats a golden rod plant in his garden, pruning off and binning the worst-affected foliage, as fungicide won’t repair damage already done. He mixes up a milk solution spray, mixing it with water in a ratio of 1:5 (one part milk to 5 parts water). This is then sprayed all over the plant’s foliage. Don’t make it stronger, because that can lead to other problems. Timing is critical; spray in the cool of the morning, saturating the leaves to the point of run-off.
