Default Downy mildew on grapevines

Judith was asking in another thread if a spray called Vitex still exists for
us on vines with mildew. It's not one I know of and neither does Ray. But
apparently there's something rather new called Benthiavalicarb which is used
for this. What it's marketing name is, I don't know but it might be worth
asked a nursery that deals a lot in grapevines, such as Read's. The herb
Vitex is Agnus Castus and seems to be a sort of herbal Viagra! ;-)
