A METHOD OF CONTROLLING POWDERY MILDEW INFECTIONS OF PLANTS USING JOJOBA WAX

摘要

A new method of eradicating an existing infection of powdery mildew on plants using a wax ester emulsion is provided wherein the wax ester emulsion is comprised of wax esters, which are derived from esterification of monoethylenic acids and monoethylenic alcohols having between 18 and 24 carbons, and surfactant at a concentration of between 1% v/v and 10%v/v of the total wax ester component.
