How powdery mildew affects plants and the best way to remedy it

How powdery mildew affects plants. Powdery mildew usually appears in hot weather, because for this fungus to develop, it needs optimal conditions (between 40%-80% humidity and between 20 and 27 degrees of temperature). Although we are in October, the current high temperatures in Andalusia can make it appear at any moment in our seasonal crops.

But if you are worried about not identifying it in time, from AJF Products we want to talk about how powdery mildew affects plants so you can act in the shortest possible time with the products we have. This way, you will be able to completely eradicate the problem.

Knowing how hearing affects plants will enable you to deal with the problem in time.

This very common fungus tends to attack leaves, stems and fruits, especially on vines, tomatoes, melons, strawberries, vegetables and ornamental shrubs, such as roses. In addition, it has the facility to spread thanks to the wind through all the crops and gardens around it, so its expansion can be disproportionate and dangerous, as it will kill the life of the plant.

Therefore, it is necessary to act quickly, with a preventive treatment with AZUFEGA, and in this way we will avoid the germination and propagation of powdery mildew.

In this way, we will avoid the appearance of a white, cottony powder on the leaves, which, if left to act, will gradually turn yellow until they dry out completely.

Another of the parts affected are the buds. If you see that when the plant is growing, it begins to take on a dark green tone, in addition to finding the dust we mentioned earlier, there is a good chance that you have to deal with powdery mildew. Remedy it before they continue to darken until they turn blackish, as it will have already damaged them enough to not be able to save them.
