I've used powdered skim milk. The lactic acid changes the pH of the leaf
surface, making it a hostile environment for the mildew. I don't recommend you
use whole milk or any milk with fat. I find one cup powder to a quart of water
works for my crape myrtles. I spray it on with a pump up sprayer and I do it
every 5 days till I see it working.

I read online that milk can cure powdery mildew when diluted and sprayed on
plants. Has anyone done this successfully? I tried on some tall shrubs over
my vegetable garden but it doesn't appear to be working.
