The latest research says, with respect to foliar mildew control, that if you
get the leaves covered with bacteria and fungi at least 70%, and maintain
that level, there will be no mildew.

So, maintaining coverage is the point. Good teas, with adequate sets of
bacteria and fungi, are required. Getting them out with good spread on the
leaf surface is important.

We're working on a method that you will be able to assay this for yourself,
easily, within minutes of taking a sample from the field. Please stay tuned.
