second year and still learning. Some growers suggest spraying dormant grapes before bud break to eliminate or reduce infections during the growing season. I have Lacrosse and St. Pipen and had a little trouble with black rot this year probably because I didn't have a spray program in place at the start. I was planning on using Mancozeb when my shoots are 1/2" - 1" this year. Would anyone recommend using a lime/sulfur solution and stylet oil before bud break or would the early Mancozeb spray be enough?? Thanks, Gordon
