For all of us who grow wine grapes, and have been scratching our heads with
all the powdery mildew, here's an interesting article about how it's been a
problem for everyone this year.

Interesting article Jeff. I had some of what I suppose was powd. mildew in
Chambourcin, Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc. In years past I did not have the
problem. I routinely spray Nova/Mancozeb early and Nova/Captan late. The
last spray, or perhaps 10 inches of rain followed by some warm weather,
seemed to stop the problem. I wonder what "soft chemistry" is...any idea.

"I wonder what "soft chemistry" is...any idea."

Soft chemistry usually refers to things like sulfur, biologicals, soap,
oils, and the like
