I a 13 year old girl doing a science fair experiment. I am inoculating my plants with TMV suspended in milk. My directions suggest that I rinse my leaves after applying TMV. Since I can not rinse the milk from the leaves in my experiment I rinse the abrasion powder before applying the virus. I am wondering if the light tapping that I use to apply the diatomaceous earth will be enough to abrade the leaf before applying TMV dilutions. I can not see signs of abrasion and am worried that my plants will not infect.
