Hello,

If it stays on the leaves it would start breaking down, and create an acid  
surface, deterring fungus.  Milk is often sprayed on roses to change to  
PH, making surfaces acidic, and keeping black spot at bay.

Milk is also used to encourage lichen growth on new stonework, making it  
look old.

I imagine that a "sticker" should be added to hold the milk on the leaves.

Not a bad experiment.

Later,
Tom
