This rot is much worse in warm, himiid weather than in dry times, and a few days of muggy weather may so favor the growth of the causal fungus as to develop an epidemic, which may in turn be checked by a dry spell. Often the dis- ease appears in distinct waves during the season, each wave corresponding to a climatic condition favorable to infection and usually lagging behind such favor- able condition a period of 8 to 14 days, the time necessary after infection for the disease to become conspicuous enough to attract the attention of the vineyard- ist. The first infections of each season occur upon the stem- leaf, petioles, and tendrils. While the Scuppernong occasionally shows a few spots upon leaf or berry and the blossom is sometimes affected, this variety is practically immune.
