[compost_tea] Re: Milk and powdery mildew...
"Cow milk may have more than one mode of action in controlling
zucchini squash powdery mildew. Fresh milk may have a direct effect
against S. fuliginea due to its germicidal properties (Salle, 1954).
Milk contains several salts and amino-acids (Martins Filho, 1987).
These substances have been shown to be effective in controlling
powdery mildew and other diseases (Reuveni et al, 1993/1995;
Mucharromah and Kuc, 1991; Titone et al, 1997; Pasini et al, 1997).
Several authors have shown that sodium bicarbonate, oxalate, dibasic
or tribasic potassium phosphate, and other salts and amino-acids have
been efficient in the induction of systemic resistance (Reuveni et
al, 1993/1995; Mucharromah and Kuc, 1991; Titone et al, 1997; Pasini
et al, 1997; van Andel, 1966). Therefore milk may also indirectly
affect S. fuliginea by inducing systemic resistance."
