Table 6-5. Relative Susceptibility of Grape Cultivars to Diseases

Table 6-5. Relative Disease Susceptibilities, provides a relative rating of grape variety susceptibility based on observations in Ontario and northeast United States under average conditions. Under adverse weather conditions, such as extended cool weather, any given variety may be more seriously affected.

Note: Vinifera varieties not listed are considered susceptible to powdery mildew, downy mildew and black rot.

Susceptibility rating:
- unknown
+ slight
++ moderate
+++ high
++++ extreme.

b - Black rot is more serious adjacent to bush or similar areas with poor air drainage.
c - Sensitive to:
1 = Sulphur
2 = Dikar + Zolone combination
3 = Dikar
4 = Thiodan/Thionex
5 = Copper
6 = Flint and Pristine

These notes are based on grower experience and could vary under stress conditions. No entry in this column indicates that no chemical sensitivity has been observed.
