Hi All.
I had Basil Downy Mildew for the first time last year; wiped out my crop after just a couple weeks of usable harvest. I was hoping there would be some disease-free seed available but I'm not finding it anywhere. It looks like there is not yet a test to determine whether seed is infected or not.
Have any of you had luck with treatment? Looks like Actinovate and Oxidate are the best organic controls.
I know the seed I have left over from last year carries it so seems kinda silly to use it...but if there isn't any disease-free seed available, then throwing it out and randomly buying other seed is silly too.
Thoughts?
Shall I just be ready to treat it prophylactically?
Thanks!
