Mildew on cucurbits - JJB - 03-07-2024

Well the mildew is starting up on the courgettes and I've a couple of spots onĀ  leaves on a gh cucumber. Today I'm going to spray with a milk solution but does anyone have experience of a different tactic?

Powdery mildew? Potassium bicarbonate (can get it off eBay).

Yes powdery mildew. You've reminded me I've got som potassium bicarbonate in the shed, maybe a two pronged attack. Thanks TMTT
