Excerpt from Oidium, or Powdery Mildew of the Vine On the other hand, the remaining serious fungous disease - Oidium - exists in all parts of California. From one point of view, this is the most serious disease of the four, as, if uncontrolled, it is capable of spreading more universally through the vineyards and of absolutely destroying the crops in nearly all. From another point of View, it is the least to be feared, as it is possible to control it completely, at least in most parts of California, by much simpler and less expensive meth ods than are needed for the others mentioned.
