This fungus grows on the leaves and then will proliferate to the other leaves and win branches and then the grappes to destroy..

The fungus is install in the leaf.

For now, development is content and only a few vines from some plots are affected. But, we need to take specific care and be very vigilant to not see appear the oil stains on the leaves, sign of contamination by the fungus. .

The grappe is contaminated.

Berrys are "frost"

The fruits will die.
