The leaf on the right is sprayed with an oil called "Hygropunch". It is produced near me in BC, Canada and is certified for use in USA but not in Canada!! It's an oil based product (not neem). If you look closely at the 2 leaves , you can see that the right leaf is a bit shiny...the oily coating. It can be used as a preventative or as a treatment. I've been using it on the Barron 2404 plant and is working better than some of the chemicals I've used this year. It halts the spread of the PM. You can see a shadow or a halo of the PM spots after spraying and they haven't spread or gotten any larger since. July 30 th was my 1st spray of oil and PM has not progressed. In some areas where I missed with the sprayed oil, the PM pops up very quickly and I spray the missed areas. The concentrated oil is recommended to be used at a 2% solution. I'm going to try 3% in some spots to see if any leaf damage will occur. I'm amazed with this product ! Check out their web site " Hygrozyme.com. Pumpkin is still growing (1544 lbs today) so it seems like it's not harming the leaves. Will post pictures of the same 2 leaves in the future.
