  We had downy in a small part of our vineyard last year that attacked the tendrils first, then spread to leaves, shoots and grapes. My suggestion is to cut it out now, all of it, anything that is white looking and take it far out of the vineyard and destroy it. keep doing t his all season and continue spraying (we are organic, so we used copper and various other solutions).

   This kind of sanitation is key to keeping the spread limited.
  best,

    Very good chance it could be downy mildew, and resembles a shepherds hook.

    Hi Everyone!  We have something in our vidal, only at one end of the field closest to wooded areas.  It is like powdery mildew, but it is not on the leaves, only on the tender ends with large tendrils (our vines are very vigorus).  No one seems to be able to identify the problem.  We operate our vineyards with a two week rotating spray program.  Do any of my esteemed coleagues recognize this problem?  Ciao, Margaret
