yeah, it was a guesstimate. A few squirts of dish soap in an old all purpose cleaner bottle. Dont fill the bottle all the way- leave room for foam. So to use shake the spray bottle and create the foam, then spray generously covering leaves and stalks with the white foam. I think what it does is suffocate the fungus, cause it literally turned brown and shriveled over night.
i was surprised because i've tried soap/water for insects and has no effect other than providing a bath.
another problem i have is caterpillars on the yellow squash. i've been removing by hand as there are only a few plants. dont understand where they come from, just seem to appear one day.
i dont want to use insecticide so that has been a determining factor in what can be grown.
