Diseases and pests
Wasps This class is not afraid, can not be said about the diseases. But you can successfully fight them.
Mealy dew, oidium and mildew are quite dangerous enemies of grapes, they completely destroy the bush on which they settled. Berries are no longer suitable for wine, compote or fresh consumption.
Spraying with solutions of Ditan-M-45, Sandofan, Ridomil, Topaz, Jet, Tiovit, Quadris is applied against mealy dews.
Another formidable grape disease is bacterial cancer. Only prevention will help - the seedlings must be carefully inspected before purchase, so that there are no scratches or cuts on the bark.
Yes, and you need to handle them carefully. The diseased shrub is uprooted and destroyed.
Gray mold of grapes, too, is not a pleasant surprise. Against her vitriol used drugs, Malathion, Switch.
Be sure to make itself known and phylloxera. These small parasites eat everything they see in the most direct sense. They are fighting with phylloxera in a very tough, but effective way - carbon disulfide at a concentration of 300-400 cc. per square meter.
It is also destructive for bushes, but the parasite will not be killed from a smaller dose. The “aspiring” enemy will surely return and will continue to devour your seedlings. So decide what is more important for you - to sacrifice a bush or endlessly win the grapes from the parasite.
However, gardeners say that 80 cubes are enough - then the bush has a chance to survive. Do not neglect the prevention of anthracnose, chlorosis, bacteriosis, rubella. These diseases are common and no less dangerous.
The easiest way is to fight with birds - once you put a tough net and you can not be afraid for berries.
