Anaplasmosis is a febrile, Infec

animals are seldom affected.
The treatment is still in the ex

veterinary problem.
Animals af

Use of bordeau m ixture 4-4-100

recommended for those vineyards
where black rot and downy mildew

applied just before bloom, just after

If rainfall is above normal, it may
be necessaary to make a fourth
application two weeks after the third
treatment.
