Powdery Mildew Control

How Do You Get Powdery Mildew?

Powdery mildew develops in warm, humid conditions with poor airflow. Spores spread easily via wind, water, or contaminated tools. Overcrowded plants or excess moisture on leaves can exacerbate the issue. Early detection is crucial, as the mildew appears as white, powdery spots on leaves and stems.

How to Prevent Powdery Mildew

Ensure proper air circulation around plants by spacing them adequately and pruning overcrowded foliage. Use an extractor fan or dehumidifier in indoor grow spaces to control humidity. Applying a mildew fungicide regularly, such as CX PMT 100ml, can prevent fungal growth. Select mildew-resistant plant varieties where possible.

How Do You Stop Powdery Mildew from Spreading?

Quarantine infected plants immediately to prevent the spread. Remove and dispose of affected leaves safely. Use a spray for mildew on plants, ensuring even application on both sides of leaves. 

How Do You Control Powdery Mildew?

Consistent use of a plant mildew treatment such as Grow Genius Whole in One helps control outbreaks. Combine treatments with environmental adjustments like lowering humidity, increasing light exposure, and improving ventilation. Reapply fungicides weekly until the infection subsides. A product such as neem oil or horticultural soap can provide both treatment and prevention.

Effective management of powdery mildew requires proactive prevention, timely detection, and targeted treatments to maintain healthy plants.
