You will need to spray for black rot, powdery mildew, downy mildew, anthracnose, phomopsis, botrytis and other rots. There are sprays for those diseases but none of them work for everything. Read up on the diseases and what can be used for each. Generally alternating a couple sprays will cover most diseases. Since you live in Pennsylvania here is a good reference http://ipmguidelines.org/grapes/ .
