This is what the PM looks like on the back of a leaf. This will also be sprayed with the copper fungicide. Tonight I plan to spray everything with Eagle20 using my backpack sprayer. Eagle20 is systemic, so it will give me another line of deffnse. If I can avoid using my backpack sprayer I do. Although it is fast and works well I have found that I often end up with too many broken leaf stalks and then the leaves end by falling over & being broken. I will include imidicloprid (for cucumber beetles & other insects) in my spray mix. If I can spray once for two purposes I feel better about pulling out the heavy artillery. Hopefully this will be helpful to you if powdery mildew "sneaks up" on you.
