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)
Regards TaChung Huang (¶À¤j©¾)
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.
