MILDEW

This problem starts to appear in this part of the country around August to September and continues to give many people trouble right through to the end of the season. This affects plants grown outdoors or in the greenhouse,although it is very unsightly and affects the foliage it does not trouble the tuber.




   Above is an example of mildew on a Double Begonia.
