Cornell Formula for powder Mold?
| | |
Posted by MapleLeafMama 5 ONT (My Page) on Thu, Aug 4, 05 at 15:43
It has only hit 2 of my plants thus far. My husband just finished building our patio-and the tent gazebo thing had to be moved over-giving them too much shade.
I have sprayed them twice with limited improvement. I'm wondering if because I made such a small batch, that the amounts are off?
At any tare-what is your experience with powder mold?
Thanks

| I've found Cornell mixture to be as effective as anything for powdery mildew. If you have trouble mixing a small batch, mix a gallon and store it in a jug. Shake very thoroughly just before transferring to the sprayer. |

| You might also try the milk spray. I have yet to try the Cornell mixture, though I intend to. In a pinch I tried the milk spray and it worked. Just add 1 part milk to 9 parts water to a squirt of Dawn (or whatever brand dish detergent you have on hand.) I don't believe it keeps due to the milk content-but it did work, because I had powdery mildew on several of my roses and it is now gone. Blackspot is also reduced tremendously on the most susceptible. Hope this helps. bren |
