We conducted a trials to control Sphaerotheca fuliginea on cucumber plants growing under greenhouse conditions, with plant oils and soaps. We tested a refined grape-seed oil, emulgated with soybean lecithin, oil and it's soap derived from plants which are from Brassicaceae family, and treatment with soy-bean lecithin on one's own. A mineral oil applied in Bulgaria as pesticide under target name RZ Maslo was used as standard, and water treatment - as control.
