Refer to chapter 2 of this publication for minimum-risk pesticides, which are exempt from EPA registration and are not listed below. Refer to Part I: Cultural Methods, for management alternatives without pesticides or minimum risk pesticides. This table does not list all brands or multi-ingredient pesticides. Other products are available. Check product labels: some may be used indoors; others are for outdoor use only. Search chemical pesticide hyperlinks for the appropriate situation. Review the pesticide label before purchasing and application. No product endorsement is implied.

Powdery mildew on rose. The white or pale gray coating on leaf surfaces, dusty or fuzzy in appearance, is typical of powdery mildew on many kinds of plants.

Table 6.1 Notes:Consider removing infected leaves or discarding infested plants rather than treating with a toxic substance. Most chemical pesticides are effective at protecting plants against disease but cannot “cure” existing infections. Check all pesticide labels carefully. Products may not be registered on all varieties or may not be tested on all rare or unusual varieties. If the host and pest are not listed on the label, do not use the pesticide. If houseplants need to be sprayed, remove them from the living space for treatment. If weather allows, take the plants out of doors or into a garage to make the application. Bring plants back indoors when dry.
