Grapes love fertilizing, to which they always respond with a generous harvest.
The first fertilizer is applied in the spring. During this period, the plant awakens after winter and gains strength for subsequent fruiting.
The gardener's task is to help the grapes stock up on nutrients.
Mineral supplements
For quick awakening and abundant fruiting, grapes need nitrogen. But gardeners do not forget about other elements either.
Prepare a nourishing mixture of superphosphate (2 tbsp), potassium sulfate (1 tsp) and ammonium nitrate (1 tbsp). The fertilizer is evenly distributed over the area where the grapes are growing, and then watering follows.
If the plant is 3 years or older, then prepare the following mixture: 40 g of urea, 40 g of superphosphate and 30 g of sodium sulfate per 10 liters of water. The resulting solution is watered under the roots of the grapes.
For foliar application, prepare another fertilizer: 40 g urea, 20 g citric acid, 15 g boric acid and 1 g ferrous sulfate per 10 liters of water.
Ash
Free analogue of mineral fertilizers. In addition, the unburned residue protects the plantings from fungus. To feed the grapes, 1 kg of ash is diluted in 3 buckets of water. The mixture is left for 3 days, and then the fertilizer is diluted in another 10 liters of water and watered under the root.
Organics
An infusion of weeds (nettle, goutweed, couch grass, etc.) or mullein is great for feeding grapes in late spring. If greens are used, they are chopped, poured with water and left to infuse for 3-5 days, and then the grapes are watered at the root.
