Leaf tissue analysis

[wood1954]

This is very inexpensive way to see how your vines are doing. I take my sample in to the college extension service and for $22 I get this nice report.

I am going to send mine to Penn State. I had poor fruit set (hens and chicks) - that may be weather related but the Penn State/Cornell group suggested leaf analysis. Low Zinc and boron can cause hens and chicks. (Full grown berries with little immature berries in the bunch).

I just received my test results, what is your plan to remedy the low and border line low items? My local agronomist is working on a plan. I will post his suggestions. My results are similar.

I put an ounce of borax around each plant, 2 cups of magnesium sulfate also.
I also spread grub killer which had a little nitrogen, I’d like to put some potassium but I can only find it mixed with nitrogen, I’d like to see your plan when you have it.

He recommended that I use two products, O.N.E. Foliar Mix and Max-In Calcium. Applied twice monthly. Apply at one pint per acre. If I knew how to post pictures on wmt...

Conserv. FS. If you are in my area, the 2.5 gallons in enough for 16 years for my 88 vines. I can give you some of mine.

Unfortunately if you’re in Genoa city, you’re about 130 miles away.

You are correct, it's a long drive.
