If you are planting a grape seedling, fertilizer will be needed only at the very beginning of development. If we are talking about an adult grapevine, then in order to get good fruits, it will be necessary to fertilize it constantly. Let's figure out when the first feeding of a grape plant is needed and how to care for it in the future.
For active growth and abundant fruits, it is necessary to contain certain vitamins and microelements in the soil. Let's decide what exactly is required.
The more time passes from the moment of landing, the less useful substances remains in the ground. If fertilizing is not carried out in time, the land may become depleted, and the grapes will completely stop bearing fruit and growing.
But in this case, it is not enough just to feed the soil with a complex of vitamins; you need to know exactly what the fruits need to grow. this moment. This is why in viticulture it is so important to know what vitamins the plant needs and when to use them. So, grapes need the following microelements:
As an additional option, you can also use potassium magnesium, sulfur, etc. But, usually, the soil already contains these substances in sufficient quantities.
How to improve productivity?We are constantly receiving letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year there will be a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS on this matter. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we would like to recommend plant growth biostimulants that will help increase the yield by up to 50-70%.

Bring in necessary elements You can add them to the soil separately or use a complex of vitamins and minerals. The main thing is to know the exact timing when it is necessary to introduce vitamins into the soil. There are many options for fertilizing grapes in stores. But sometimes only such fertilizers will not be enough for full growth. Most often, grapes also require manure. This component will improve not only the quality of the soil, but will also protect against excess moisture and stimulate growth for grapes. In addition, nitrogen becomes a conductor for microelements and vitamins. Manure supplies grapes with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other useful substances.
If for some reason it is impossible to use manure, you can replace it with compost, which is available in almost every household. So, in order to get compost, you need to take food waste, grass clippings, sawdust, animal droppings and organic waste. As a result, you will get compost that will be in no way inferior to regular manure.
As already described above, each fertilizer must be applied at a certain time, let's look at each period separately:
If you want to make the process more natural, then during spring procedure You can use slurry. In order for the process to be as successful as possible, distribute 1 kg of solution per 1 m2.
In order for the soil to be fully restored, it must be soaked with manure - once every three years. You can add ash, phosphate and ammonium there. So, this fertilizer must be distributed over the surface and after that everything must be carefully dug up. But remember that the feeding time strictly depends on the type of soil. If it is of the sandy loam type, then fertilizers should be applied once every two years, but if it is sandy - every year. Many people consider caring for grapes to be a very difficult task, and the plant itself is too finicky. But all he needs is timely feeding with microelements and vitamins.
Gardener secrets: delicious berries no problem
Internal feeding for berries is not enough, it is necessary to use additional substances for better growth and fruit set in the future. It is worth noting that it comes rather as an addition to the root version and cannot completely replace it.
The first treatment should be carried out before the vines begin to bloom, the second occurs at the hour of the appearance of the berries, the third - at the beginning of their ripening, the fourth - after they become soft. also in this process It is worth knowing exactly when it is necessary to carry out processing.
It is best to choose a windless evening so that the wind cannot spread the composition to other plants. At correct implementation procedure, the fertilizer should settle in small droplets on the leaves. Later, the vitamins will be absorbed through the shoots on each leaf.
The advantage of this treatment is its relatively fast duration of action, as well as an excellent addition to root treatment. Phosphorus, nitrogen, potassium, boron, manganese, copper, zinc, etc. can be used for solutions. The time frame for such processing is limited, and therefore you should not carry out the procedure too often.
Grapes are a rather fastidious plant that requires the presence of vitamins at the right time. So, in order for the plant to grow well, bloom and bear fruit, it is necessary to constantly fertilize. First, it is necessary in the spring to accelerate growth, then in the summer - for normal flowering, in the fall - for faster ripening fruits, winter closes the processing period - for frost resistance. You can fertilize the vine in combination, so use it for the fastest results.

Proper feeding of grapes in spring is the key to a good harvestGrapes require basic fertilizing, which is applied every few years, and additional fertilizing, applied annually in spring and autumn.
Every year, when harvesting, grapes take nutrients from the soil, without which they will not be able to develop normally and bear fruit in the future. If there is a lack of necessary substances, the bush becomes vulnerable to diseases and pests, the vine does not ripen well, and the ovaries crumble.
Additional fertilizing in the spring they apply according to the scheme, focusing on the stage of grape development:
The main elements that grapes need are nitrogen - for the growth of the vine and leaves, phosphorus - for flowering and ripening, and potassium - for active ovary and increasing the plant's immunity. Grapes also need: copper, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, boron, iron.
The deficiency of one or another element can be determined by the state of the grape foliage and the composition of nutrient solutions can be adjusted. The following symptoms appear when there is a shortage:
To fertilize grapes in the spring, you can apply organic matter, single-component and complex fertilizers, as well as use folk recipes for nutrient solutions.
Fertilizer for grapes must be applied at the level of the main roots - this is one of the basic rules for feeding vines. This way the nutrients will be fully absorbed and will work for the benefit of the bush. Surface feeding stimulates the growth of additional roots, which can lead to a slowdown in grape development.
When planting a seedling, experienced winegrowers recommend digging a pipe through which you can later water and feed the grapes. Use asbestos or plastic pipes with a diameter of 10-12 cm. They are placed at a distance of 50-80 cm from the seedling (depending on the growth vigor of the variety) and deepened by at least 40 cm.
There is another way to properly feed grapes. At a distance of 50-80 cm from the bush along its entire diameter, you need to dig a trench 40-50 cm deep. Nutrient solutions are poured into this ditch, after which it is covered with earth.
It is important to remember that before each feeding, the grapes need to be watered abundantly.
The basic solution for spring feeding of grapes is a solution of two tablespoons of superphosphate, one tablespoon of ammonium nitrate and a teaspoon of potassium sulfate. All components are dissolved in 10 liters of non-cold (20-25 degrees Celsius) water. This amount of solution is consumed per grape bush, poured into a pipe or groove.
The first and second feeding of grapes in the spring is carried out with the solution described above. Ammonium nitrate should be excluded from the third feeding - nitrogen at this stage of development can cause increased growth of green mass to the detriment of the formation of bunches.
To feed grape bushes in the spring, you can use complex fertilizers containing all the elements in the required proportions, such as Aquarin, Mortar, Novofert. The preparations are dissolved in water according to the instructions and applied to the soil in the manner described above.
Grapes respond well to the application of organic fertilizers to the soil. Organic matter can be used as a basic fertilizer or in combination with mineral fertilizers. It must be remembered that organic fertilizers can be applied only before flowering begins.
Rotted manure is applied under the bush in early spring, and embedded in the soil to a depth of 25-30 cm. It improves the structure of the soil, promotes the development of microflora, saturates the plant with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. You can replace manure with compost made from mowed grass, ash, sawdust, and plant waste.
For liquid fertilizers In spring you can use slurry. One part of the manure is poured with two parts of water in a barrel, and left for 10 days. The fermented solution is diluted with water one to six and poured into the recess around the trunk at the rate of 10 liters per bush.
Effective as a top dressing chicken droppings. It is used in the form of a liquid infusion. To prepare, a liter of dry litter is filled with water (4 liters) and left to ferment for two weeks. Immediately before application, the slurry is diluted with water, bringing the volume to 10 liters. For each bush, use 0.5-1 liter of solution.
You can completely compensate for the potassium needs of grapes with the help of ash from sunflower husks. For root feeding, an extract from ash is prepared - two liters of the substance are poured with 8 liters of water and left for a day, stirring occasionally. A liter of the finished extract is diluted with a bucket of water and applied under each bush.
Outside root feeding grapes complement the root, but do not replace it. Grape leaves quickly absorb micro and macroelements dissolved in water. The solution for spraying is prepared from the same components as for root feeding: urea or ammonium nitrate, superphosphate, potassium sulfate, with the addition of microelements - zinc, boron, copper, etc. Before use, add 50 g of sugar to the nutritional composition to slow down its evaporation from the foliage.
Solutions can be used complex fertilizers: Master, Florovit, Biopon - they are sold in any garden store. The dosage of preparations for foliar feeding is indicated in the instructions.
Among the folk recipes for foliar feeding of grapes, a herbal infusion with the addition of ash extract is popular. To prepare it, you need to fill the barrel halfway with cut grass, fill it to the top with water, and leave it to ferment for 10-14 days. To spray, add a liter of fermented infusion and 0.5 liters of ash extract to a bucket of water.
The first spraying is carried out until the appearance flower buds(in early May), the second - after flowering (in early June). The treatment is carried out in the evening or morning hours, when there are no aggressive sunlight. To prolong the effect of the solution, the grape bushes are irrigated every day clean water. The dried solution again acquires liquid form and is well absorbed by the plant.
In order for the yield of the grape bush to be maximum, fertilizers must be applied according to a schedule, adhering to the recommended doses. Can be used chemicals or resort to folk recipes- the choice is yours. The main thing is to provide the grapes with sufficient nutrition for growth and abundant fruiting.

Grape feeding - root and foliar
Correct and timely feeding of grapes can increase yield several times, make plants stronger, resistant to many diseases and unpredictable weather conditions. Large, tasty berries can indeed be grown on own plot. The owner of the vineyard will need to take care and allocate some of his own time to implement the activities.
A well-known fact - the vineyard gives bountiful harvest on good fertile and fertilized lands. Over time, the nutrient content constantly decreases and there is a need to add additional fertilizers. Without fertilization, the soil becomes depleted, and the vine develops poorly - yields decrease, resistance to frost and drought decreases.
Many novice gardeners mistakenly think that complex mineral fertilizers, applied a couple of times per season is quite enough. The need for grapes various elements modified depending on the stage of development. You can achieve success if you figure out what substances grapes require. It is also necessary to know what impact they have on certain processes. IN mandatory it is necessary to feed the vine with the following fertilizers:
nitrogen- is an indispensable element when growing green mass (shoots, leaves). It is applied mainly in early spring, on initial stages growth. In summer, the need for nitrogen-containing fertilizers decreases, and in August it is not recommended to apply it at all. In simple words, rapid growth of greenery shifts the ripening time of wood, therefore, an immature vine may die in winter. , ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate - the most famous and common nitrogen fertilizers for grapes;
phosphorus- necessary for proper organization metabolic process occurring in plants. A sufficient amount of phosphorus at the time of the appearance of inflorescences and the formation of berries plays an important role;
potassium- ensures the transport of nutritional compounds inside the grapes. Large accumulations are observed in the vine, shoots, and leaves. Sufficient supply of potassium to the plant increases the accumulation of cell sap and reduces the evaporation of liquid, which is especially important on dry days. The element is needed when preparing plants for winter;

zinc- belongs to the category of microelements, which cannot be underestimated. The lack of the substance causes a violation of fertilization of inflorescences, paralysis of the ridges of clusters, increased oxidative processes, and disorganized growth balance;
boron- responsible for the movement of sugars and carbohydrate compounds. Its deficiency leads to poor fertilization. The element does not move freely throughout the plant; deficiency can be seen at growth points (death of main shoots, big number lateral branches, shortening of internodes);
copper- ensures metabolism in the plant; as a rule, the element is contained in sufficient quantities in the soil. The deficiency is easily compensated by spraying with Bordeaux mixture.
The first application of fertilizers is carried out in early spring, before buds open. Take 40-50 grams of ammonium nitrate, the same amount of superphosphate, 30 g of potassium salt per adult bush, dilute it in a bucket of water and feed the plant. For good and correct distribution of the solution with access to the roots, it is necessary to dig a hole (trench) 40-50 centimeters deep at a distance of at least half a meter. Fertilizer is poured there, then the hole is filled with soil.

Besides mineral complexes in the spring, root feeding of the vine, chicken droppings or manure can be carried out. It is not difficult to dilute chicken manure; you need to pour the product into any container, let it ferment for 10-15 days, then you can use it after diluting it with water in a ratio of 1:20. Manure can be used already rotted, when embedded in the ground, and diluted liquid state(prepared in the same way as chicken manure solution).
In the second half of May, when the soil has already warmed up sufficiently, temperature regime outdoors does not fall below +8ºС, an enhanced period of formation begins vegetative organs, the first rudiments of future grapes appear. The vine is preparing for the upcoming flowering - which means it’s time to feed the plant. The timing of fertilizing grapes may shift depending on the growing zone and varietal characteristics, therefore, the breeder independently determines the specific time for introducing fertilizers.
You can feed the bushes in May and June two weeks before flowering using superphosphate and nitrogen fertilizers together with potassium salt in a ratio of 50/40/35g. Fertilizing of flowering grapes is not carried out. 3-4 days after the second application of minerals, foliar feeding of grapes before flowering is carried out on the leaf, to improve the pollination process using preparations such as Humisol, Boric acid, Zinc sulfate, Potassium chloride, Humate, Reacom-R-Grapes. They help increase productivity, resistance to diseases, drought, and enhance the formation of bunches.

The third feeding of grapes is carried out after flowering, when the berries are formed. Only phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are used, excluding nitrogen fertilizers. To water one bush, dilute 40-50 grams of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers per 15 liters of water. At this time, it is recommended to carry out foliar feeding with microelements (boron, manganese, cobalt, zinc and others). Take 1 tbsp per bucket of water. potassium humate, 1 teaspoon of the drug Novosil, half a tsp. iodine, manganese on the tip of a knife, 60-70 grams baking soda, ½ tablespoon of boric acid, 15-20 g of Kemira-Lux and spray with the resulting solution. In addition to microelements, it is recommended to additionally apply fungicides against pests and diseases (Ridomil Gold, Tiovit Jet).
The main stages of fertilizing are outlined above, but this does not mean that no further fertilizers need to be applied. Depending on the condition of the plantings, increase or decrease the number of feedings and their quantity. Additionally, the grapes can be fed after harvesting. Do not forget, it is advisable to combine the application of fertilizers with watering the grapes
To obtain good harvest grapes, it is not enough to plant a seed or sprout and wait for a miracle. It is necessary to carefully take care of it, care for it and feed it. To achieve this, fertilizers are used to improve the quality of fruits, enhance crop growth and restore the soil itself.
For growth and development, plants need not only water and air, but also a lot of useful substances contained in the soil. However, the minerals in the soil are restored much more slowly than we would like, and therefore after several years of actively sowing the garden bed, the gardener may encounter an unpleasant phenomenon: a shrinking harvest and poor plant growth. To restore, it is necessary to leave the beds alone for several years or use additional nutrition.
Fertilizers perform important role in all garden culture, being “vitamins” for sprouts and soil.
All fertilizers are divided into two large groups:
It is worth noting that both groups have certain advantages and disadvantages. For example, organic fertilizers are more balanced and bring several substances into the soil at once, but at the same time, manure can contain dangerous microorganisms that can infect the soil and fruits. Besides, organic fertilizers need preparation and a large number of may cause serious harm.
Mineral ones feed the earth with only one substance, but they are easier to control, and can also be supplemented with other fertilizers, carefully monitoring the behavior of the plants. However, an excess of minerals will also not be beneficial.
Tips on how to properly fertilize and feed grapes
How to improve productivity?We are constantly receiving letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year there will be a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS on this matter. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied.

Phosphorus is important element, necessary for the health of crops, in particular grapes. It is part of RNA and DNA, is a source of energy and is involved in metabolic, reproductive and other vital functions. important processes. Without this element, it is impossible to grow a full-fledged plant: its growth and development will stop, the seeds will not be able to take shape.
Signs of a substance deficiency include:
Any of the signs is a serious signal of problems in the plants and requires quick and decisive action. The first step is to check what is causing such troubles. Simply put: where did the phosphorus go? There are several reasons for its disappearance:
Determining the cause will help eliminate it.
Depending on the problem or season phosphate fertilizers applied either in the fall to restore the soil after harvesting grapes, or in the spring to prepare it as much as possible before sowing. In the second case, quickly absorbed compounds are used, otherwise they will not have time to begin to act.
Grapes have long been known as a perennial crop that produces not only aesthetically beautiful fruits and bindweed, but also delicious berries. Due to the fact that it constantly grows in one place, thereby seriously depleting the soil, it needs the strongest possible bait. It is necessary that the plant has access to all nutrients, especially minerals, otherwise it may get sick and stop bearing fruit.
As a top dressing, you can use both organic fertilizers (any available to you) and mineral ones. Peat, ash, manure and bird droppings are well suited; you can choose almost any of the mineral ones: potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus and others. Can be used both complex and single.
The use of phosphorus bait depends on the type to which the fertilizer belongs:
For adult grapes, active complementary feeding in autumn and spring is enough; it is better to feed young ones once a month until they grow. In total, several baits should go through:
In any case, the main thing is not to overdo it. There is no need to sprinkle the grapes with phosphorus from top to root, but you shouldn’t give up bait either. By choosing the right “portion” size, you can ensure health and longevity for the culture.
Have you ever experienced unbearable joint pain? And you know firsthand what it is:
To get the grapes on kitchen table was tasty and large, the clusters were numerous and heavy; the bushes need to be fertilized and fed throughout the season, with early spring and before preparing for wintering. At each stage, fertilizing performs a specific function. For fruits, the period after flowering and at the time of formation of fruits and clusters is especially important. At this time, grapes require substances and microelements that can satisfy the needs for fruit formation.
Flowering - important stage in the development of the vineyard, and after it fertilizing should be carried out
Grape growers use two methods for feeding: root and foliar. Both methods can be applied after the flowering period has ended (from mid-to-late June). In order for the “support” of grapes to be as effective as possible, it is necessary to analyze in more detail all the nuances of the procedure.
For active and healthy growth and fruiting, grapes need a large amount of various minerals and elements throughout the entire period of life. Grape bushes especially need “help” in the first years of their life. For this reason, it is recommended to actively fertilize and feed grapes when planting or transplanting. If during planting the soil was fertilized correctly, then in the first 3-4 years the active addition of mineral and organic elements not required. Later, an adult bush, having used up the available reserves of nutrients, will need periodic feeding if you want it to be healthy, actively develop and provide constant tasty and big harvest. It is worth understanding that the larger the bush, the more nutrients and moisture it consumes to ensure normal life. That is, mature, overgrown bushes are much more in need of replenishing the depleted soil with essential mineral elements and nutrients. The level of “help” depends on many factors:
It is worth understanding that even in very fertile soil and at favorable conditions grapes may lack the full required amount of microelements. Over time, the amount of nutrients in the soil decreases, which requires additional measures to ensure that the grapes continue to produce a high-quality harvest.
Grapes require a large number of different microelements, and they need them to varying degrees depending on the vegetative stage, time of year and age. To “support” the bushes they are used various ways fertilizers and top dressing depending on the above factors, as well as based on what specific substances are planned to be added. It is necessary to approach very carefully the issue of choosing the timing for feeding one or another type of microelements and fertilizers. A one-time and simultaneous introduction of all known nutrients into the soil will lead to harmful consequences and may completely destroy the plant. It is worth studying in detail the characteristics of the growth and development of grapes, to know at what time, in what substances and in what quantities the grapes especially need feeding.
The opening of grapes in the spring is accompanied by the first feeding
Time frame for the procedure:
Additionally, after harvesting (in autumn), superphosphate, ammonium sulfide and ash are added to the soil during digging. The frequency depends on the quality of the soil (necessarily once every three years).
Grapes should be fertilized before flowering begins.
Feeding grapes is necessary for the full growth and development of grapes throughout the entire period of life.
In autumn, grapes accumulate useful substances for wintering
In addition to the above microelements, grapes also really need calcium, iron, sulfur, magnesium, etc.
The soil contains and replenishes these elements in sufficient quantities, so their addition is done quite rarely. So, to replenish iron during planting, rusty nails and tin cans are added.
A wide variety of fertilizers are used to feed grapes:
In addition to microelements, one should not lose sight of the need to add manure to the soil, that is, fertilizer organic origin. It helps restore the soil, improve its properties in terms of water permeability and aeration, and is favorable for the development of microorganisms beneficial to the roots of grapes. Manure itself is a complex product containing most of the necessary microelements in moderate concentrations.
As an alternative or addition to manure, winegrowers actively use compost containing food waste, tops, droppings, manure, grass clippings, wood ash and other organic waste. You cannot use organic remains of the grapes themselves (bark, foliage).
Urea is applied in spring and early summer
In addition to the root method of fertilizers, fertilizing through leaves is often used as a means of replenishing plants with some useful substances. The leaves perfectly absorb soluble microelements along with moisture. Since the leaves very quickly absorb moisture and the substances they contain, they quickly enter the plant and begin to have a fruitful effect almost immediately; after a few days the effect is clearly observed. Speed is the main advantage of foliar feeding. With the foliar method, almost everything nutrients are absorbed into the plant, which cannot be achieved by fertilizing the soil. Such features allow you to seriously save on the consumption of nutrients. Foliar feeding It is used several times a season: before the formation of flowers, after flowering, when the fruits ripen. This method allows you to solve several very important problems:
An important requirement when preparing a solution for spraying grapes after flowering is not to add nitrogen-containing fertilizers. The solution is prepared in the following consistency: ash, phosphorus fertilizers, water. Many winegrowers recommend using the following composition: for 12 liters, take 1 tablespoon of potassium humate, 1 teaspoon of Novosil, 0.5 teaspoon of iodine, crystalline manganese on the tip of a knife, 5 grams of baking soda, 0.5 tablespoon of boric acid, 15 -20 grams of the drug Kemira-Lux.
As a solution, in addition to the huge variety industrial types, sold in stores, use ash diluted in water, mixed with a fermented infusion of various herbs.
Spraying is carried out using special sprayers. But many winegrowers (especially beginners), in the absence of such, use improvised means (buckets, jars, syringes, etc.). The spraying procedure is carried out in clear, windless weather in the morning or evening. In cloudy weather, you can do activities during the day, the main thing is that the plant does not get sunburned.
Ash mixed with a solution of herbs is an excellent fertilizer
To fertilize the bushes after flowering you will need:
Fertilizing of grapes is carried out by sequentially performing the following activities:
For maximum effect It is recommended to use a comprehensive feeding method after the grapes bloom. It must combine both foliar and root methods. If the concentrations are maintained, making the right choice microelements and fertilizers, compliance with the requirements of the procedures themselves, the grapes will become stronger and will delight you with a large and tasty harvest. Do not forget about “supporting” the grapes at other times: before flowering and after harvest. Everything should be complete, balanced and balanced.
