HOW TO CONTROL DOWNY MILDEW

Downy mildew cannot infect plants if their leaves are dry. Where possible grow plants in areas with good ventilation and sunshine to prevent water from resting for long periods on to the foliage.

Remove and destroy infected plant parts. Apply SUPER SPECTRUM regularly every 14 days to treat diseased plants.

Once infestation is under control, use SPECTRUM to provide ongoing protection for your plant. During damp weather, protect young seedlings and other susceptible plants by spraying regularly.

Disease is often carried between plants by sap sucking insects. Use ORGANIC SUPER SPRAYING OIL to control these insects before they can spread disease.
