Glad it helped Worth. I used it for the first time on English Peas this year and it was amazing. I feared it would be too harsh for them but it wasn't. I have found it will definitely stop powdery or downy mildews on squash if used early and regularly. Just make sure to use it early and not wait till it spreads to every leaf because if the leaves are infected badly it can kill or shrivel up the leaves to the point you have no leaves. The same is true of gray mold. It is much more effective to use it early and frequently and not as a last resort. As long as you use a reasonable mix that isn't way too strong and don't spray it in the bright sunlight frequent use doesn't seem to have any deleterious affects.
