Baking powder for mildew issue?
« on: June 14, 2020, 18:35 »
My courgette plants seem to have a mildew or fungal issue.
I’ve researched apparently using baking powder solution seems to be a non chemical solution.

Has anyone tried this? Is it effective?

Are you sure it's mildew?  Is the silvery colour powdery when you rub it?  Many courgette leaves look like that
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

That leaf looks healthy enough! Some courgettes have a silvering in the leaf colour I think Yorkie is correct.

Sorry just seen the replies, no it’s not powdery to be honest. Good to know and thanks for both your advice saved me some wasted time.

The other possibility could be damage from the seriously sunny and dry weather we have had. Perhaps make sure you have provided enough moisture for the plant as they don’t like a lack of water.
Keep digging
