Hello everyone,
I'm doing my bachelor's thesis on UV disinfection. My target pest is powdery mildew.
I'm having a lot of trouble getting it to develop on plants. I alternate between wet and dry climates, I vary the maximum temperature between day and night, and I've tried different types of fertilisation.
If anyone has done any studies to combat powdery mildew and knows what to look out for and what the best method of innoculation is, please let me know,
My best regards
WK

Alex Ignatov Thank you very much Dr.Ignatov, these articles are inspiring. I should be able to adapt one of these methods to my trials.
