LanTerra Update... > PM almost gets out of control on about 20% of the plants. Noticed that one mater plant has black mold on it this morning. So after several days of rainfall and high humidity the plants were hurting...

I have used three products, a topical and two systemic's and phosphites with minimal affect this year... August has been on the cool side. Hope the first couple of weeks of Sept are warmer....

To gain back control and kill the PM I have used combinations of Hydrogen Peroxide, Baking Soda and Milk. After several sprays each morning and evening over the past three days.... However this morning there was still some active white spots growing. Hit them hard with Milk and Baking Soda. Again sprayed this morning at 6 table spoons BS and 40% milk to the gallon with maple syrup... The concentration on baking soda needs to be really when conditions let PM out of control... I have Neem oil on the way so things for now are under control...
