Summer 2010 at the Rutgers Research farm in Bridgeton, NJ. I saw something like 30 or 60 varieties of basil tested for DM. There is no good organic control. The products you mention were tested and shown only to supress DM not stop it. DM is transmitted from year to year on infected seed. The first seed source with disease came from Italy. DM gets inside the seed so we found no way to sanitize the seed without harming it. Rutgers University is doing a lot of work on DM in basil since we grow a lot of it in NJ. check their web site...

Hello! Looking for some tips from folks who have experience controlling downy mildew on basil. I in need of an OMRI approved fungicide this year... the two that I have found are Actinovate AG and OxiDate (the links take you to the websites of the companies that make them.) Does anyone have any experience with either of these two products, or have any other suggestions?
Thanks for your thoughts.
