Dan , have had luck with organic pesticides that kill cuke beetles..they
usually last for one day so you kill the waves of beetles...as for anti-
fungals they have to be used as preventative..and regular....if you have
and out break off something they are of little use......The "SAFER"
products are good....have tried other organic ...biological parasitic
fungus that supposed to attack powdery mildew...but found it was
weak.....also Mycostop a soil bacteria sprayed before ,,,,,,and I don't
know i didn't think it worked but then again haven't had any problems
...knock on wood.....brock
