Does it control powdery mildew on Swiss chard and is it safe for edibles
608479
I have found it to help with powdery mildew, but, have not used it on edibles, so can't comment on that. Hope this helps a wee bit.

We have been using it for years with very good results in many different infestations, and so far it has worked every time with no ill effects, it usually takes a few days and sometimes another application, but it does work. As far as safe, we always read the label and follow the directions, so even though I have not done any research it would seem safe to me. Hope this helps you.

have not used on swiss chard. It does control powdery mildew on Gerber daisies and other leafy plants.

I have good success with this product for all mold issues, as well as mites. It is a type of hydrolyzed Neem oil. So aside from changing the structure it is as safe as Neem oil. I would still rinse before eating. But I do not notice any taste just some residual odor.

yes it will clear PM within 24 hours. Spraying distance is important. The funguscide part will treat that. Besure to read all the directions first. May have to reapply.

Hello Peter,It is Neem Oil and is listed as working specifically on powdery mildew. It does not specifically mention chard but it uses includes "vegetables" which I take to mean edibles. I have used it on herbs that are meant to be consumed. Hope this helps!

I'm not sure how we'll is it on edibles, but as for p.m. It's ok not the best.

It works well on Powdery Mildew on most plants in my yard including squash, cucumbers, roses, and herbs. However it is necessary to reapply regularly. There's little doubt that mildew spores can travel on the wind and also remain alive for years in one's own compost pile, containers, and soil. As such, it is difficult for me to completely get rid of the mildew without routine applications.

Yes. It is completely safe to use on edible and non-edible plants. It is actually used in organic gardening.

I've been gardening for 40 years and we all wish there was a systemic for edible plants. Unfortunately, there isn't. Fight your bugs with Neem Oil. That's what I use and it works pretty well. It also works on fungi. You can try insecticidal soap. Go to the website for MotherEarth.com and ask them for help. Nobody knows more about organic stuff for edibles than they do.

I treat mine the way I do my wooden cutting board. Specifically, every few months, coat well with FOOD SAFE mineral oil, let sit overnight, then wipe off in morning. AVOID the blade edge. Then I "seal" with beeswax thinned with mineral oil. Again, let sit and rub off excess. This treatment does not add any flavor to the kraut. It protects the wood from acid in the cabbage, plus generally drying out and therefore warping. It does not impair the antibacterial properties of the hardwood. You can buy both these products for cutting boards here on Amazon (e.g., the famous John Boos brand) or you can make your own. I treat mine the way I do my wooden cutting board.

Yes. This product is a bacterium that is selectively toxic to caterpillars, so it will not hurt plants, people, pets, birds, or anything besides caterpillars. It can be used on broccoli to control cabbage loppers, tomatoes to control tomato horn worms, as well as on fruit trees to control tent caterpillars. Can be applied up to the day of harvest.

Yes. I've ground pomegranates in it and if you are thorough, they will be completely gone. I regularly do carrots, peaches, plums, etc. All of these have skins.

Here is a quote from the bottle's PDF: "CONTROLS scale insects, mealybugs, apple aphids, European red spider mites, leafminers, leaf rollers (redbanded, obliquebanded, fruittree), light brown apple moth, powdery mildew, rust and other insects and diseases listed on this label. " I think this would do the trick.

I don't think so. I use it on my gourd plants to prevent cucumber beetles. I would contact the company but I would not take this internally.

I have no idea. I bought PB to use on my garden to combat powdery mildew. I mix 1 tablespoon with 1 gallon of water. I'm not consuming it personal.

Yes. Wash the herbs as you would any garden fair. I soak herbs, fruit and vegetables in a lukewarm solution of 1 part white vinegar to 20 parts water for 5-10 minutes then rinse. the vinegar kills bacteria and fungi while removing surface contaminants.

I would say yes. It say ok for baked enamel , chrome, glass, glaed ceramic glazed porcelain, laminated surfaces, plastic stainless steel and vinyl . I would use it especially if you don't want to get the flu.

I may be mistaken, but I do not believe that it is recommended as a systemic - you can, however, spray the tree thoroughly. I have used it twice (4x actually - 2 in the fall and 2 in the spring) for Black Knot Fungus on cherry and plum trees. For fruit, be careful of the mixture ratio so that you do not 'burn' the tree.

If you spray it directly on the cob I am sure it will, but if you give the stalk and closed ear a light spray as instructed on the bottle it should not. I wash all my vegtables after harvesting and I do not taste the product. I hope this helps.

I do not have any links for you but my conclusion is that it IS safe to use. I used it in my raised veg beds after I noticed grubs. Grubs gone. Worms did not seem to be affected at all. Good luck. PS. I don't think this product has any shelf life after opening. I used the rest on my lawn. Wear a mask! You do not want to breath in the spores.

Hmm. Well, I am not sure but my experience w microbiology would lead me to think not. Mildew and molds, I believe, would need to be destroyed by something like bleach (they're like plants w roots) and then, maybe, you could treat with this product
