Default Downy mildew on grapevines


"Sacha" wrote
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! ;-)


I saw some Vitex "Bordeaux Mixture" the other day, is that what Judith
wants?
