Abstract : Conidia attached to conidiophores on mildewed leaves and inflorescences retained their viability for up to 40 d in comparison with detached conidia which lasted 21-35 d on glass slides and host leaf surfaces. At room temp. (22-30°C) survival was 15 d but not 21 d on host surfaces and 7 d but not 10 d on glass slides.
