Milk works great as a preventative spray for Powdery Mildew.

The quick answers to your questions are...

-Whole milk is preferred (the increased fat content works as a spreader sticker), but any type will help.

-Key part is 40% milk and 60% water (You can go slightly with slightly less milk and the outcome is similar but 40% offers the most consistent results with basically no benefit from a higher percentage of milk.

Here is a link to some more detailed information that I posted on the Team-Pumpkin website:

I use a rotation of Milk and organocide cause of kids and haven't gotten pm on AGs in a few years. They are definitely more resistant than field pkns and other varieties, but starting sprays early is critical.
