Default Milk for powdery mildew

there is no lactic acid in powdered skim milk. there is the sugar called lactose.
lactic acid is the fermentation product of glucose. however, milk is slightly
alkaline, a condition that can be reproduced with baking soda. Ingrid

I've used powdered skim milk. The lactic acid changes the pH of the leaf
surface, making it a hostile environment for the mildew.
