Very serious infections of Downy Mildew are now obvious in vineyards that were not adequately protected this growing season. This is showing up as severe leaf burning (below).
The main concern is that these heavily infected vineyards are defoliating, by infected leaves falling off and may not be able to ripen their crops.
