hi everyone , iam new to this site . I planted two grape vines four years ago when i bought my house in new jersey two diferent types mainly to cover a pergola and provide shade and fruits after the fist year i notices that the older vine fruits have what now know thanks to you guys as Black Rot . My husband insist on cutting the vine but i really want to save it this my favorite reading spot . the fruits this yeart with all the rain are dameged how i can save my vine and next year fruits specially that the other vine fruits are getting infected as well Can you please help me thank you
I have a similar problem (Botrytis) with my grapes, and the treatments are pretty similar. Proper pruning, removal of infected fruit and plant parts, and chemical sprays (Captan) seem to all be required. I've tried to eliminate the spraying, but then I lose quite a bit of the grape crop. Google "black rot grapes" (without the quotes) to obtain lots of detailed information.
Thank you where I can get the spray , I went to home depot and they had this organic insecticide and fungicide spray I ' ll try this ,this year is gone to save any grapes with wet weather and heat . Hopefully it will work for next year
