VASCM: Powdery Mildew

[Jim Varano]

Ken I'm very new at this also...I did what you might do...NOT SPRAY...well I am now having problems with my vines....I believe that if you don't spray and keep the spores down you will get a VERY BAD infestation of the mildew spores that will continue year to year ....
Keep your plants healthy, don't just worry about the grapes...mildew is bad...it has affected my vines..maybe you will be lucky.

The vineyard looks very healthy but I just noticed that we have powdery mildew; I believe that I do not need to deal with, or worry about, it since I am not trying to grow fruit this season.  Am I correct?  All comments are appreciated.
