mildew on cucumber
« on: July 21, 2010, 00:01 »
Just noticed today I've got some mildew on a few leaves. I've got 6 plants going.
They've been producing like the clappers (eaten 5 with 6 left on the plants and lots more coming) and I'm worried it will spread.
Seeing how suicidal cues can be, what is the best course of action, please?

I've had this problem. I'm on a half plot and share a greenhouse with the chap on the other half plot. The mildew started on one of his cue's and started to spread to mine. I started spraying with milk mixture and although it hasn't cured the problem, it has kept it down to a minimum.
He hasn't done anything to try to prevent the problem and has now had to remove one of his plants. I even left the spray in the greenhouse and told him to help himself...........! :nowink:

Should've said they're outdoor cues (long white) and I've taken off a few leaves and sprayed the others. The new leaves are fine, the mildew is on older leaves that aren't getting air circulation.
How often should I spray? (Don't the plants look good after the spray....leaves green and glossy.....I assume the mixture "fixes" the spores so they don't spread?)
