I'm a big believer in kelp products. Similar to azomite, it provides over 50 minerals. In addition, kelp contains gibberellins and auxins that aid in better seed germination. Kelp also increases yields by promoting bud formation, overall health, and to slow transpiration. As a foliar it can help protect plants from cold and hot temperatures. Combining silicates which have similar attributes in a foliar spray will help to minimize PM too. Silica strengthens cellular walls, improving plant health and immunity. Think alkaline as powdery mildew requires an acidic environment.
