Thanks for all your help. I'll try the milk and the soda. Next year I won't be so cheap and get Eagle.

Always good to rotate with a different product ... and milk has been proven to work . Plus you can drink the stuff .

Quintec is a nice powdery mildew specific fungicide to throw in the rotation. It is used by many vineyards specifically to fight powdery mildew and has the unique ability to translocate itself to all parts of the leaf after applied. If some spray doesn't hit the bottom of the leaves in a dense area, no problem. If the top of the leaf was sprayed, it will work itself through the leaf to the otherside. Also for point specific blotches in the early stage of development, use stylet oil. It is a parafin based oily liquid that dislodges the spores attachment mechanisms and the white fuzz washes off the leaf especially if used with a hand pump sprayer with the nosel set to jet stream. And use actinovate in the rotation too for a natural defense of good biologicals that eat the bad ones. And other products used prior to it showing like eagle help to suppress it early, but if you have the pm pressure every year, it will show no matter what preventative systemic or contact you use. Once it shows, use the first three products to keep it in check.
