The fungus overwinters on infected plant parts in the trellis or on the ground. In spring, the fungus produces spores on plant parts infected the previous year. The fungus spores are spread by splashing rain, and a film of free water on the vine surface is necessary for infection. Black rot Disease Development: Berries are susceptible to infection from bloom until several weeks after bloom. Berries become resistant to infection as they begin to ripen. Ripe berries are resistant. The disease can result in complete crop loss under warm, humid environmental conditions. Downy mildew Symptoms: On leaves: Early season infections: Irregular pale-yellow to grayish-yellow spots appear on the upper leaf surface. White to grayish cotton like fungal growth develops within the border of the lesions on the lower surface. Late season infections Small, angular, yellow to red-brown spots develop on the upper surface. Lesions commonly form along the veins. The fungus sporulates (produces downy growth) on these infected areas Downy mildew Symptoms: On fruit Infected young berries turn brown and soft, shatter easily, and often are covered with a downy like growth of the fungus.
