Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet to controlling powdery mildew. There a lot of chemicals that will help control PM. The problem is that most AG growers are limited by what they can buy and how affordable it is. Also, the spray equipment has to be able to apply the chemical(s) in an efficient manner. That is why the top growers use equipment that can fog or mist in order to get complete coverage. Here is a link that I think you will find of value: http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/NewsArticles/Cuc_Cntct_Fcides.htm I use Daconil as a preventative and have had pretty good results.
