Formula for Powdery Mildew

Formula for Powdery Mildew

Milk works in two ways: It has a germicidal effect--it kills the fungal spores-- and it also appears to stimulate plants in such a way that they become more resistant to the disease. In recent university tests, the milk and water spray was found to be more effective than the two most popular synthetic fungicides on the market today. Using milk as a fungicide is not new.

Here's the recipe:

  1. Mix 1 cup of milk with 9 cups of water.
  2. Put the solution in a sprayer and spray the entire plant including the undersides of the leaves.
  3. Do this twice a week and your powdery mildew problem should disappear.
Sprinkle powder milk around your tomato plants every other week and watch your plants grow. Formula for Powdery Mildew
