Every year I am PLAGUED with powdery mildew even though I use pretty good fungicides. Normally I apply them through a hose end sprayer or through the overhead spray system. This year was no different. For years Dr Dixon has nagged me to apply the fungicides with a backpack or handheld type sprayer with properly diluted fungicides. I resisted until last night when P/M was taking over the patch. I mixed some fresh Bravo and hand sprayed every leaf. This afternoon you would have thought a miracle was performed on the patch .....leaves are greener healthier looking and most of the mildew was gone!!! I'm telling my story to emphasize the proper way to apply "junk" to your plants. Use a hand sprayer....Amen. Thanks Glenn
