DESCRIPTION
WHO CAUSES IT?
Plasmopara viticola is an oomycete pathogen that mainly affects grapevines, causing a devastating disease under favorable climatic conditions. This organism overwinters in the form of hardy oospores found in the remains of infected plants, such as fallen leaves on the ground. With the arrival of spring and adequate humidity, the oospores germinate producing sporangia that release motile zoospores. These zoospores swim in the water and reach the young tissues of the plant, where they penetrate through the stomata and form structures called haustoria within the plant cells to extract nutrients. Subsequently, the fungus develops sporangiophores that emerge from the stomata and produce new sporangia, which are dispersed by wind and rain, initiating new infections. This cycle can repeat several times during the season, especially under hot and humid conditions, allowing rapid spread of the disease.
SYMPTOMS
Downy mildew caused by Plasmopara viticola causes significant damage to the vine, especially to young shoots, leaves and bunches of grapes. Infections begin with the appearance of oily Taches on the surface of the leaves, which eventually turn yellow and brown, causing necrosis. If left uncontrolled, the disease can seriously compromise grape production, reducing both the quality and quantity of the harvest.
- Yellowish Taches on the leaves, known as oil Taches.
- Necrosis on the leaves that spreads rapidly, causing them to fall prematurely.
- Deformation and wilting of young shoots.
- Affectation of grape clusters, which can rot before ripening.
- Formation of a whitish powder on the underside of the leaves, composed of sporangia.
- Loss of vigor in the affected plant and general decrease in production.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
10°C - 27°C
80% - 100%
HOW IS IT SPREAD?

Effective against all types of fungi
- Implement good soil management, removing and eliminating fallen leaves and infected plant residues to reduce the amount of inoculum available.
- Use appropriate pruning techniques to increase air circulation between plants and reduce humidity in the foliage.
- Apply preventive treatments with specific fungicides during the most vulnerable phases of the vine cycle, especially when high humidity is expected.
- Monitor the climate and conditions of the vineyard to foresee the ideal conditions for the development of mildew and carry out preventive applications of fungicides before the appearance of symptoms.
- Promote the planting of mildew-resistant vine varieties in areas with a high incidence of the disease.
- Avoid sprinkler irrigation, especially late in the day, to reduce the duration of moisture on the leaves.
- Carry out rotations in the use of fungicides to prevent the development of resistance by the pathogen.
