Light fruit and vegetable spray is a neem oil spray that works well. It also is an insecticide that kills
aphids, whitefly, and may be effective with spider mites. I haven’t been able to evaluate its
effectiveness on cucumber beetles, as they prefer the dahlia’s I have planted
around the perimeter of the patch.
I had powdery mildew start after infestations of whitefly and aphids
this year and one application put all three in check. It’s been about a month and I could use another application,
I just haven’t had time recently to do it. Neem oil is pressed from the seeds of the Neem tree native
to India. I’ve been using it for
several years, mainly on roses and it seems to work well. It’s much more environmentally friendly
than daconil and the price difference isn’t significant. I don’t own stock in Green Light, I
just like to let people know their options and like solutions that are better
for the environment. Chris Michalec Covington,
