How Do You Treat Fungus On Pumpkin Plants?
Everyone has their own theories on how to treat fungus growing on their plants. After doing a little bit of research, I have found one solution that may help. Mix 1 part milk to 9 part water. (Some say 50/50) At first signs of mildew, spray on infected area every 3 – 4 days. You many also use spray on the plants every week as a preventative measure. How does this work: by changing the pH balance on the leaves making them less susceptible to mildew. It has a germicidal effect and seems to make the plants more resistent to such diseases. “In recent university tests, the milk and water spray was found to be more effective than the two most popular synthetic fungicides on the market today”. – Below I have included the websites for the information I have found so you may get an in depth knowledge as to how and why it works.
