Powdery Mildew
Posted on: September 6, 2018 by Maria Held
Powdery mildew has been observed on squash, zucchini and carrots. It affects almost any type of plant including ornamentals such as peony, lupine and pansies.
Powdery mildews are characterized by spots or patches of white to grayish, talcum-powder-like growth.
It grows readily in our warm and dry climate. When available choose resistant or tolerant varieties. The disease is common in crowded plantings where air circulation is poor and in damp, shaded areas. Avoid overhead irrigation and late summer application of nitrogen fertilizer once symptoms occur. Remove and destroy all infected plant parts (leaves, etc.). Do not compost infected plant debris. Temperatures often are not hot enough to kill the fungus.
Chemicals are most effective when combined with cultural controls.
