Talk:Powdery mildew

Photo Description Incorrect

The third photo down is described as 'spider mites at high magnification'. These aren't spider mites, nor do they really resemble spider mites IMO. I wouldn't call that 'high magnification' either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.183.199 (talk) 07:18, 22 May 2018 (UTC)

No need to merge

I see no need to merge the articles of Erysiphales and Powdery mildew! The first one is a biological order and the other one is a disease caused by species belonging to that order. There are also separate articles for common cold and rhinoviruses for the same reason.

This one is a horticulture article, the other one is a mycology article. Kaarel 20:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Spelling mistake on image

Hi. Does anyone out there have the skills to correct the typo on the image http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/File:Downy_and_Powdery_mildew_on_grape_leaf.JPG? Best regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 13:39, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Photo of powdery mildew

Whilst the photo of powdery mildew on the Wikipedia page is not wrong it is hugely atypical. The symptoms shown are extremely unusual and very misleading for the casual observer.

Article Evaluation

Significant information in each category could be more in depth and precise with factual reasonings. I think either a scientific previous studies section should be added or descriptions of previous studies under each of the individual plants listed in the article. Reliable sources are needed for some statements throughout the article so plagiarism isn't a possibility at hand.. Also, there is a misspelling of the word soybean, spelled as "soyabean" on this image https://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Powdery_mildew#/media/File:Powdery_Mildew_in_Soyabean_leaves.jpg Kellyn.hickle (talk) 02:43, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

Cannabis

Given the fluctuating legal status of this plant in the United States, Canada and elsewhere in the so-called Western World, and the fact that it's afflicted by powdery mildew, it seems worth a mention. The value of cannabis harvests worldwide puts it well above most of the other plants on the list, and in capitalism, aren't we supposed to venerate THE ECONOMY at every turn? 2607:FEA8:BFA0:47F:6817:49F0:3E77:BCF8 (talk) 11:40, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

Conditions

Hello @Discospinster: I assume you mistakenly reverted this edit assuming it was vandalism. Avashaw if you could provide a source for that it would help. I have removed the source that was there because it was the wrong Huang. Years ago an editor saw an inadequate citation "Huang" and just searched for anything by "Huang" about "powdery mildew" and added it there. Years later it doesn't matter which Huang it was because any newer source would be better anyway. Invasive Spices (talk) 14 May 2022 (UTC)
