Re: Powdery Mildew

Ron, try adding a few drops of dawn dish soap to a sprayer and apply it to your leaves. I've gotten rid of aphids, bugs, etc with this method. None of these creatures like soap.

Dear list,

Are there any systemic products to prevent or control  powdery mildew?  I live
close to the ocean in Los Angeles, CA and we get a lot of moisture during the
nights.  And, we have had an unusual spring and summer of cloudy, damp
weather.   I have several pumpkins growing but my plants are being wiped out
by powdery mildew.  I have tried to use several types of sprays but I can't
keep up with the spread and it is very difficult to get to the bottom of the
leaves.  I'm afraid that this year my pumpkins will not make it.   Any
suggestions??

Thanks,

Ron Fine
