This post describes using potassium bicarbonate to control powdery mildew, but doesn't give any more info.

So I'm looking for the following:

Efficacy? Mixing rate? Application rate? Application frequency?

And finally, are there different types of potassium bicarbonate and, if so, can they all be used for this purpose?

I tried this and it did not work for powdery mildew on lupins or Monarda. Your mileage may vary:

  • add one tablespoon potassium bicarbonate to a quart of water
  • consider adding a bit of vegetable oil as a "sticker"
  • pour in to a hand powered sprayer
  • agitate vigorously to get a suspension
  • spray, agitate, repeat
