Me too. I've used milk to control PM on cukes. When you cannot control
soil moisture and PM becomes evident, milk is a very effective
prophylactic. You have to be aggressive with the application hand spraying
every leaf, and you do need to open up the leaf canopy to increase air
circulation. But it does work. You can save your crop. It's effective for
damping off in seed pots too. I do not know the active factor(s). However,
I have found I can dilute 3:1 and still achieve control.
