Our natural world is comprised of organisms large and small. And the smallest ones are typically the most deadly. Why does your rosebush turn brown? Why are your busy-lizzies dead? Why was your wine sour and thin? It could be due to downy mildews, a group of parasitic organisms that attacks plants. They can’t live without their host plant, yet they can travel thousands of miles in a single season. Learn how downy mildews present a constant threat to the plants we love.
