Got Milk! for fungi and mildew...

I've just received several articles from a friend stating that milk is a
great tool for fighting fungi and mildew on roses and garden crops.

One source (a Master Gardener's Newsletter which refers to "Organic
Gardening" as it's source) suggests that 1 cup of whole milk to 9 cups of
water sprayed once or twice a week will do the trick.

The other source (a local newspaper, saying Danish rose growers and organic
nurseries us this) suggests using 1 part skim milk to 1 part water and apply
with a spray bottle mist will help with blackspot.  [This source also says
to remove infected leaves, clean up and layer mulch.]

Has anyone tryed this?
What do ya think?
