Grapevine Resilience

We've been administering our soft chemical comprised of hydrogen dioxide and acetic acid to our vines and they are responding! Grapevines are amazingly resilient. We have also benefited from the rain events in September that helped the vines to push new leaves. Although we are thankful for the rain, we are cognizant that rain is not so good for established vineyards in our area whose grapes may already be near harvest. Rain events close to harvest may swell the grapes causing them to burst and attract wasps, bees, fruitflies and other insects that carry grape berry diseases that may cause the berries to rot.
In our case, the rains have helped our young vines to grow new leaves. Our hope is that they will have enough time to photosynthesize and create the carbohydrates necessary for the grapevine survival during the upcoming winter.
