Powdery mildew is a common fungal disease of many different plants and crops. There are many different species of powdery mildew and each is specific to certain plant species. However, they are all distinctive in the way they cause a fibrous white or yellow growth more commonly to the upper surface of leaves, shoots, flowers and sometimes fruits and pods. An infestation usually begins as powdery white dots that gradually increase in size to cover the whole area (Fig. 1.). Powdery mildews occur more often under dry, warm conditions and therefore are commonly found on many glasshouse crops during the summer months, particularly where there is little air movement. Certain species of powdery mildew can remain as dormant spores on weed plants throughout the winter. These can then re-infest susceptible plants and crops when they are grown in the spring and summer months.

Spray with SB Invigorator and then introduce Encarsia. Bug killers are not all bad but lots are. It all depends on how they work and how they are applied.This question I leave up to you to answer. I have presented the case for both products and I leave it up to you to decide to which the best is. CONCLUSIONS If you follow the instructions, correctly pests will not become resistant to this action. The problem with some conventional treatments is that over time bugs become resistant and it will become less effective over time. This product, therefore, has a clear advantage. For Mealybugs, at least two applications are required, the first to remove their protective wax and a second to kill the mealybug. Heavy infestations of pests like spider mite and whitefly will require more than one application. If predators are present, repeated applications will harm their development, so try to use before their introduction or when they are not present. No harmful residues will be left on the plant to harm them.
