PPFS-FR-S-13: Downy Mildew of Grape

Julie Beale, John Hartman, Cheryl Kaiser | Sep. 1, 2008 (New)

Downy mildew is an important disease of commercial and backyard grapes in Kentucky. This disease causes direct losses when flowers, clusters, and shoots decay and yields are reduced. Indirect losses result when premature defoliation predisposes grapevines to winter injury. It may take a vineyard several years to fully recover after severe winter injury.
