gotta define crack or split...if the vine is cracked as in half ...start training a secondary if the split is longitudinal (sic) going with the vine captan, dry and wrap..then bury...I usually get away with captan and bury..

If it is a secondary you could terminate and bury at the split or remove it all together. If you terminate consider giving it a day above ground to heal and then bury it.

I think this is the typical markings for a hybrid plant. I do not see the crispy crunchy tell tale signs on old growth and the new growth appears to have the same markings. I bet if you tell us the variety I can find you a picture of plants that look like yours. of Course a preventative treatment program of a mild fungicide will not hurt. Because in Arkansas you must have some nasty hot warm weather.
