I finally made a diagnosis of the problems of carrots, now completely covered by a layer of white dust, commonly knows as mildew or powdery mildew, or Anglo-Saxon term, powdery mildew .
It is a fungus that attacks the leaves and stems of plants and suck the sap, slowly kills them.
form due to lack of ventilation ( unmetroquadro is always too high density and questoa it and 'the proof), too much moisture and usually attacks a bit' all varieties of vegetables, with carrots and certainly a focus on zucchini.
After conquering all the carrots in a month I saw the first signs even on large leaves of squash and it 'was clear that I had to put a limit to this expansion indiscriminate.
a lot of stuff I find on the internet, but page that best describes me and my situational offers natural remedies (no chemistry please!) I find only after a long sail.
The first thing to do is, unfortunately, with a lump in my throat, pull out all the carrots, as were lost to mildew, and make some circles' of air. Given this situation also paraded the two Capuchin lettuce, now in bloom and leaves very little convincing. Goodbye baby carrots (still to eat mo 'to drink). The second step is', according to the detailed instructions found, is to wait until the early hours of the morning after spraying a mixture of water and, optionally, milk / baking soda / vinegar / garlic EMARC not to make the leaves with 'KD' night. I find information on milk and on other sites and 'what gives me a bit' more ' guarantees against possible toxic side-effects.
then await the dawn and, after cleaning by hand every single leaf of zucchini and removing what appeared to be already 'compromised, do milk-spray.
