The formula that I've had for years, which originally came from
Perdue U contains dish soap...here it is:
To 1 gallon of water, add
3 tablespoons of baking soda,
1 teaspoon of horticultural oil
1 teaspoon of dishsoap (as in liquid, like Joy)
Apply every week to 10 days by spraying ... remove infected
leaves. Also, spray the ground around the plant.
