Powdery mildew of the sage

  Powdery mildew or white sickness is a cryptogamic disease, that is of fungal origin, which can affect sage plants and occurs on the leaves. This is the most frequent pathology among those that can affect this aromatic herb and occurs in particular with mild temperatures and high humidity. It is a very simple disease to identify: because the white patches that are seen on the leaves of the sage are very characteristic. A reader of Orto Da Coltivare, Barbara, asks me exactly what her plant can have, describing the symptoms of powdery mildew. I answer publicly because I think it may be useful for many to know how to defend themselves from this problem with natural methods and above all how to prevent it.

In particular, the typical Calabrian pepper, also known as Diavolicchio, is one of the most widespread and spicy varieties among those grown in Italy. This homegrown fruit is part of the capsicum annuum species, thanks to its flavor it is appreciated in the kitchen and is also a decidedly productive cultivar.
