Bob - I don't attempt to grow grapes here in the Kansas City area without a
multiple fungicide spray schedule. Dithane/Nova alternated with
Dithane/Quintec early season. Sub. Captan later. Insecticide infrequently.
Your comment about Chambourcin is interesting. I have more problem with
Chambourcin and Vignoles than other grapes in the vineyard. C. Franc, C.
Sauvignon and Chardonnay leaves show no sign of disease at this time while
the leaves of the two hybrids look pretty rough. Where do you grow your
Chambourcin? BTW, Baco Noir and NY73 started veraison this week.
