I have read that exposing the baby plants to a breeze (such as from an electric fan, or a real outdoor breeze) helps. Something about triggering the plants to grow more strongly, rather than directly influencing the pathogen. I haven't tried it.

I have always had success with baking powder, 1 heaping tablespoon per gallon as a powdery mildew control, it works immediately and I have very little subsequent problems.
I just read that
potassium bicarbonate is more effective
mixing a little dormant oil helps keep it on
there is no problem with the sodium accumulating in the soil or the plant (I think I read that)
that baking soda is more effective than conventional commercial preparationg
