Airone

Airone is a copper-based fungicide to protect crops from various fungal and bacterial diseases. Fine particles of optimal size gives it maximum contact and adhesion properties with the plant tissue. Benefits 1) Broad-spectrum protection: Airone is effective against a wide range of fungal and bacterial diseases. 2) Resistance management: Its

Identify the grapevine disease

Identifying the plant diseases is an important work. In this chapter we compile the images collected from the fields, so viewers can identify the images correctly. This is a collaborative effort of 3 project partners (Weinbauzentrum, Agroscope and databaum) for Vitiprotect project. The comments about the images are coming from

Cumulative Growing Degree Days (GDD)

After the cold winters, first observation that we notice in the dormant vineyards is small buds coming out from the branches. Plants use temperature as an external cue to decide when to wake up and stretch those buds. In previous blog we introduced the correlation between field conditions and plant

Unraveling Growth Degree Days for Viticulture

As winter recedes, we witness a miraculous transformation in our vineyards. New buds break free from their winter sleep, unfurling into vibrant leaves. These are soon followed by beautiful inflorescences and delicate flowers. As the season advances, these flowers give way to fruits that grow and mature with time. For

Frost Alert

Frost occurs when a surface in humid air is cooled to freezing temperature (below O° C) and below dew point (Dietenberger, 1982). Frost when formed on plants cause freezing injury due to ice formation. Frost, damages the plant cells when the ice crystals are formed inside the plant tissue (FAO,

Grapevine Growth stages (BBCH scale)

Successful farming is possible with proper scientific intervention. The current blog explains us about the different phenological stages of grapevine for better understanding and to take informed farm decisions.
