If Backing Soda is good for treating powdery mildew, is it because of
the Na+? According to the following equation, how will Backing soda
treat powdery mildew???
NaHCO3 + H+ -----> Na+ + H20 + CO2
(soda) (acid) (sodium) (water) (gas)

Baking soda, one heaping teaspoon to a gallon of water makes an
excellent foliar spray for powdery mildew. As a retail nurserymen I
could sell them something but I find it better to be helpful rather than
greedy. Keep it simple, affordable, and simply effective. Don't know the
effect on the microbes, and if I were using AACT then the baking soda
would not be needed? But I'm still not going to sell my customers a $5
gallon of compost tea when they can use a nickels worth of baking soda.
