Do I have to report Powdery mildew?

No. Powdery mildew is not a notifiable organism, so there is nothing to report to an authority. Treat it as a normal garden problem.

How is Powdery mildew treated?

Mainly with biological and cultural measures — removing affected material, changing the conditions that favour it, and treating with agents approved in your country. The exact steps and their timing depend on the plant, the season and where you live: Dr. Phyto works them out in a free diagnosis.
