The control effect of electrolyzed strong acid water spraying on the
incidence of powdery mildew on leaves of netted-melon grown in a
greenhouse was investigated for the establishment of the crop disease
control system on low chemical input agricultural production.

Conclusion: the electrolyzed acid water spraying could clearly reduce the
disease index of occurrence of powdery mildew compared with the distilled
water control. Vegetative growth and fruit quality of netted-melon did
not change by spraying the electrolyzed strong acid water.
