Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Combining an essential oil (EO)‐based formulation with copper effectively controls Plasmopara viticola. Field trials showed a 92–99% protection with lower copper inputs, achieving a 45% copper reduction without compromising efficacy. This approach supports EO‐based products as sustainable alternatives for grapevine downy mildew management.
