The choice of funds and the treatment of grapes in the fall from diseases

The meaning and timing of the procedure

It would seem that mold, pests and various diseases do not bother plants in winter, therefore, they do not need to be processed in autumn. In fact, such a procedure takes place, since infections and insects hibernate both in the ground of the trunk circle and under the bark of the bush itself. Disputes of ailments such as powdery mildew, Alternaria, gray rot, in most cases winter on grape vines and cause serious harm to it. If you want the grape plantation not to suffer from the invasion of pests and diseases with the arrival of spring, treat it from uninvited guests in the fall.

It is important to understand what time is considered the most appropriate for such a therapeutic or prophylactic procedure. Wait until you harvest, then start treating shrubs. Spray vines and leaves, because parasites and disease spores settle here. Keep in mind that processing is carried out in the evening. Otherwise, you risk seeing burns on the leaves.

What to process

It is important to clearly understand in what time frame to take on such work, than to process home grapes for the winter. In most cases, winegrowers prefer copper or iron vitriol. If you suspect the presence of pests on the vine, buy ready-made chemicals. Folk remedies are also used, but it is important to know how to prepare them, and how often to use them.

Copper sulfate

A substance such as copper sulfate has antifungal properties. Dilute it in advance and use clear dosages: dilute 50 g of the substance in a glass of water and pour it into a 5-liter bucket, which is then filled to the top with water. Use vitriol to spray the vineyard immediately after diluting the product, otherwise it will lose its properties.

Try to process plants in calm weather, there is no need for wind and precipitation. Make sure in time that rain is not expected, as it is important that moisture does not get on the leaves for the first four hours after spraying. If in the process you notice that the rhizome has suffered from mold or pests in the bush, dig it up and place it in a fungicidal solution.

inkstone

Winegrowers prefer to process their plantations with iron vitriol in the spring, after removing the covering material from the vines. It is undesirable to use it in the fall, since such a substance contributes to the freezing of the root system, a decrease in the plant's resistance to low temperatures.

Keep in mind that the grapes are sprinkled generously: one shrub will need up to 2 liters of the product diluted in water. It is important to take seriously the process of preparing such a medicine: strictly follow the instructions, do not forget to wear a protective suit and mask when working with iron sulfate.

Ready-made preparations

If pests or diseases threaten young grape varieties, start cultivating them shortly after harvest. Pay attention to store-bought chemicals that are considered fast acting.

Among the popular drugs, the following are distinguished:

1. Folpan, Sandofan, Delan, Amistar. They are used for spraying grapes in the event of mildew foci. It is important to remove branches that are affected by the disease, and to process healthy-looking areas.
2. Impact, Mikal, Falcon. The category of sulfur preparations comes in handy if the plant has suffered from powdery mildew.
3. Horus, Rock, Rovral. Such products are indispensable for suspected gray rot.

Medicinal compositions called "Rovikurt", "Polykhom", "Fundazol" help from pests on grapes in the autumn. When ticks appear on the vines, it is important to emboss and pinch. Most of these parasites infect the tops of the plant, so they are removed first. After harvesting, carefully inspect the vineyard: if the branches and leaves look unhealthy, use ready-made chemicals - "Ridomil" and "Aktara".

Folk remedies

The processing of grapes in the fall from diseases and pests is carried out not only with the help of ready-made store preparations, but also with the use of folk methods. If the plant is affected by powdery mildew, follow these recommendations:

1. Mow fresh grass, pile up. When it turns gray, covered with mold, put it in a bucket, fill it with water, mix thoroughly.
2. Strain the prepared solution and treat the plants with it.
3. If necessary, repeat the procedure as a preventive measure.

Main processing rules

Whatever your preferred grape sprinkler, it is important to get a tool. Use a device with a nozzle and a canned pump. Remember that drugs have a potent effect, so dilute them carefully, adhering to the dosages. Follow the instructions and the plants will not be affected by the high concentration of the product.

It is important to adhere to the frequency of spraying. After the first stage of processing the grapes, pause for a week. After that, cure the plant again to consolidate the result. Handle ready-made chemicals with extreme caution: wear a protective suit or at least gloves and a mask.

Take care of grape bushes, process them in the fall after harvest, choose a reliable shelter for them for the winter, and get plants that are resistant to low temperatures, diseases and pests.
