fungus on crepes
I have a fungus on some of my Crepe Myrtles. I did last year and used a
product by Bayre that took care of it (a powder) that I cannot seem to find this year. Any suggestions on another product? thanks jrhslick@cox-internetdotcom |

The lactic acid in the milk changes the pH of the leaf surface, making it inhospitable to the powdery mildew, thus killing it. Powdered milk can be used, and I've heard everything from fresh skim, to whole milk works as well. V |

Though neem oil is deemed appropriate for pesticidal use, it can also cause
death to beneficial insects. Another way to go for people who are thinking of planting crape myrtles is the choice of powdery mildew resistant varieties. There are many varieties not susceptible to mildew. Neem does work for fungal problems, but milk is as effective on powdery mildew and won't harm beneficial insects in the way.

Oh, you have sooty mold. That is caused by the honeydew from aphid
infestations. The mold thrives on the sugars (carbon) in the honeydew, which is essentially the aphid poo. Feel around on some of the foliage. If you feel something sticky, that's your problem. If you take care of the aphids, the sooty mold will also go away. Are your crape myrtles under a larger tree which may have an aphid infestation?
