will work.

Please do not use Sevin. An easy Google search: "It is not a “natural” or “organic” garden chemical. It is dangerous. It is toxic. Eating food treated with Sevin Dust or Sevin liquid will cause low levels of poisoning (see above) and in higher doses *will* cause damage and illness to the human body."

Furthermore, Sevin is made by Bayer. Detestable corporation.

For powdery mildew on cucumbers, use The Green Cure. Again, easy Google search: "GreenCure® is a potassium bicarbonate-based fungicide that has been proven to cure and prevent powdery mildew, blackspot, downy mildew, blights, molds and other plant diseases. GreenCure® is as effective or better than competitive products, can be more economical and best of all, it's kinder to you and the environment."

Green Cure has their own web site where you can learn about an organic means of controlling powdery mildew.
