| One of my 3 year old Concord vines has develped phomopsis cane on many of its green shoots. Would Captan work for this issue? Also, clusters are starting to flower on this vine. Should I not spray at this point or would it be ok to do so? Finally, should I spray for phomopsis cane every year on all my vines as a preventative measure? Thanks! |

| I'm not an expert but I do have about 10 vines and most of them get phomopsis cane on the shoots every spring (well, for the first two years I've had the grape vines). I use a Captan 50 wp mix and the fungus clears up after one spray treatment. Next year I'm going to try a dormant spray of lime sulfur to see if that helps prevent the fungus because I'd rather not use the chemicals if possible. |

| I"m going to try the lime sulfur treatment next year as well. I ended up spraying with Captan this weekend. I"m probably going to prune out all the affected shoots. |
