Grapes and mould problems
« on: July 03, 2006, 16:40 »
Hello, I have been growing a grape vine(black hamburg) in my green house for five years. It is rooted through an open bottom tub into the soil. Last year the leaves and grapes became covered in a grey powdery mildew. I put this down high humidity through por ventilation. I cut and burnt all the shoots leaves and grapes. Was meticulus with the winter cleaning, Jeyes fluid etc. Have ventilated properly this year but the mildew has reapeared.
Is there a safe fungicide I can spray, bearing in mind i want to eat the grapes. How do i prevent a reacurrance?

Many thanks

John

I spray my vines here in Spain with organic copper sulphate once every 2 weeks when the grapes are pea size.
Happy Gardening

Many thanks, will follow suit next season , for the moment i have cut off all the grapes then sprayed the leaves with a systemic fungicde. Hoping that this way some curative action will take place during the rest of this season.

Sorry to bring an old topic up, but it seems to be the right place to ask if anyone can explain, (In simple, easy to understand figures  :unsure:) the dilution rates of Copper Sulphate for spraying on grapes?
I bought some (Half-a-flippin Kilo  ::)) on-line, but although it comes with more safety warnings than you could poke a very pokey stick at, no instructions for agricultural use...
Can anyone help? I have a 1.5Litre spray-gun and would like to mix it in that, if that helps...  :blink:... probably not.

Thanks!

Normally its Bordeux mixture thats used in French vineyards (& on tomatoes, etc). The application rate for vines is 20 gm/litre.
Im not at all sure about using straight copper sulphate: I would imagine that its more acidic. 
The Bordeaux mixture is made by mixing slaked quicklime with copper sulphate (about half and half, I think) - you should be able to find the recipe on the web.
