OK, first spray time. I'm reading the Mancozeb label and am utterly lost on mixing a batch. ".88 to 2.35oz per 1000ft." is all the help I'm given. I'm guessing the amount of water you use to mix it is variable, as long as you're using that much product per 1000ft. However, if you're spraying a...

Awesome, thanks again. So I'll start spraying this weekend, but it brings up more questions - - I'm guessing I'm going to have new green buds every day for a while. Should I just check every vine every day or two and give them a spritz to anything that pops up? - During this stage, if you...

Look up the 2022 Texas Grape Pest and Weed Management Guide from Texas A&M Agrilife Extension.

Great, Tempranillo went in the ground yesterday. The other two will go tomorrow. Should I be worried that's it been 10 days since arrival and no green yet on the other two varieties? Also, when would you target starting the spray program? When they outgrow the vine shelter, or before that...

Right, if I was early in the season that's what I would do. At this point I'm in the mid 80's though, so I don't know if there's additional protocol for a longer acclimation period, or waiting for bud break if going into the ground at those temps.

So it's been about 9 days since arrival of 3 varieties. They spent a week inside at 70'f, and then a couple days where they were outside half the day in the shade. They've been sitting in their moist woodchips and and a bit of native soil. One variety has bud breaks everywhere and is ready to...

Has anyone experienced this? Have you gotten any lab tests done or done a test with a fast-growing veggie before adding to vineyard? Reference: Killer Compost | How to do the Green Bean Herbicide Test

I'm happy to do my own research to find products, but if you have any favorites, or ones that can take care of two items with one product, I'm all ears! Thanks.

Actually, looking through Double A, it looks like they're completely out of 1103p rootstock, so it's not really an option anyway. It seems like it will be the best for my high PH, high lime soil. Desired varieties are a cross between the wife's favorites and ones that grow well in TX, so...

Oh, I think I’m too late in the season for dormant. I doubt they want to wake up to 85+F temps.

On their site, I can't tell what type their selling. Dormant roots? green potted? Something else?

Thanks. I'm in central TX (consistent low 80's at the moment). i was going to order from Novafine, but I have a couple options written down. Inventory is starting to get scarce though, so need to hurry!

Hi all. About to order my first potted vinifera, and super nervous. The scion types and root stocks are well suited for the area. While there's a ton of info out there, sometimes it's difficult to find how those processes might change in the first year. So, thank you all so much for the help in...

Thanks. I'm still learning and reading all about grafting now. I guess my next questions would be, why would a school spend so much time and money on creating a hybrid that is disease resistant and less than 100% Vinifera, if grafting rootstocks is already viable?

I'll check it out, thanks! At this point, I would pay for a successful tip to avoid losing a year.

Hi all. I'm in a common Pierce's Disease area in Central TX, and I'm looking to source some vines for a small plot. I'd like to give myself as much of an advantage as possible and plant the disease resistant Camminare Noir, but I'm unable to find it anywhere. I've left messages at nurseries that...
