spotty mildew on cucumber
"ben polit" wrote in message ... | Any suggestions for treating spotty mildew on cucumber? | Any dos and don'ts to help prevent it? | Please email me. | Thanks! | | You must use a fungicide to control mildew. There are several commercially available products available or you can make your own by mixing a heaping tablespoon of baking soda with a gallon of water. Whatever solution you decide to use, spray the leaves until they drip. The commercial stuff sould be sprayed every seven days and the baking soda once every three or four days. -- TQ |

I would absolutely stick with the baking soda suggestion as most commercial
fungicides can't be sprayed this close to a harvest and can be dangerous to use. susan, I'd really prefer the mildew to some of the sprays stores sell... always read the label!

Any commercial fungicide I have ever used listed 'days to harvest' as zero.
