Why do grape leaves dry?

Last summer my vineyard had a lot of pain. First, the leaves began to dry on one bush, and over time the disease spread to almost all plantings. Tell me why the leaves of the vine dry and what to do?

Grape growers often face beautiful green leaves that suddenly begin to dry and then fall off. This may be due to abrupt changes in climatic conditions, as a result of which grapes become vulnerable to various diseases. One sick bush is able to infect and destroy the entire vineyard, so it is important to start treatment on time.

Causes of Vine Leaf Drying

Before proceeding with shrub treatment, you should find out the specific reasons why the leaves of the vine are drying and what caused the infection to occur in order to prevent the situation from recurring. Crops grown in northern latitudes are more susceptible to diseases. This is due to the fact that they should be covered for the winter. High humidity and minimal air access under this very shelter create a favorable atmosphere for the development of fungi.

Insufficient amount of light, heat and moisture or improperly selected soil also affect the immunity of grapes.

If the leaves first brighten and then dry, this indicates a lack of nitrogen. Grapes should be fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers or make manure.
