Hello

With the help of a fellow message board member,I believe I have a Downy Mildew issue. Has anyone had any experience with milk/water solution as a remedy? I’ve read it is effective a a treatment for Powdery Mildew, but wondering if it can also be used for Downy.

I am limited to organic solutions only, as we are a certified organic farm.

Thanks Y’all!

My experience is that milk helps prevent but not cure PM. Can you use neem oil? It is supposed to be effective on downy mildew.

Yes I can. Thanks for the advice. Bet I understand I just don’t want to apply it during high sunlight hours to prevent leaf burn. Right?

I’m going to cut and bag affected leaves tomorrow and give it a try.

No oil containing products when sunny. It’ll fry your leaves.
