I want to spray on my grape vine. Should the spraying be done at the flowering stage or when the little grapes have appeared? Thanks.

According to my knowledge, you have to spray before the time of flowering. I use it for growing flowers, perhaps may differ growing fruit.

Application of gibberellic acid at the shatter stage produce greatly enlarged berries. This stage occurs about 10 days after bloom-when the impotent flowers or berries have fallen.

it depends whether they are naturally seeded or seedless varieties. For seeded wine varieties I know it's 3 weeks before expected bloom. Check your local cooperative extension or refer to that extensions landmark school.for exampl if you live in ny state refer to cornell university's website.

Hi, I have never tried spraying this on flowers. I have on grass and nothing happened to the grass. I hope this helps.

I have used the one with the brush-on cap on greenbrier vines--just cut the vine and brush the product on the cut stems. You don't spray it. It's effective. It may take repeated applications over a period of time. I have not killed anything I wanted to save. Garden Girl is right.

I painted the cut of my grape vine last season and so far it hasn't come up this spring. It seem to work!

That is a good question, I have never used it to spray my hedge's. I have tried it on some vines, the tops die and then come back next year. Maybe your hedge will come back from the base...?

I do both. I will spray around my gardens as a general deterrent and then spray directly on plants. Be careful - it will "stain" some plants - like pansies. But does work. Try the granular type too - that works a little longer - especially if you have any rain.

Works well on both. Use it before you get disease! I would use a weak foliar spray, and also use 1 teaspoon / gallon as a transplant drench. Then repeat about every 3 weeks or so. More often is humidity is high (over 60% RH during the hot part of the day) Do NOT use the foliar spray in hot dry weather!

Certainly you can! A good one is rather pricey though, this one:Chapin G362 Professional All Purpose Hose End Sprayer with Metering Dialis a very good sprayer, we have been using ours for a decade and is still in good shape. The benefit of using this style of sprayer with glyphosate salts is that it doesn't make a mist as it sprays, it comes out in a fan and goes where you want it to go. That said, this is a great tool for maintaining established vineyards and clearing new vine rows before planting since there is only a 24 hour lag time for planting. Certainly you can!

I apply it with pump sprayer in the late fall and it lasts until early spring. I reapply as soon as the spring plants and bulbs emerge and it lasts until late summer. I apply on my lilac bushes right after they finish blooming and again in the fall. Deer don't come near them. Great product.

This product is intended to be sprayed directly on the leaves of the plant. The plant should be watered as needed.

I believe the packaging says to avoid spraying directly on flowers I\ve sprayed directly on plants and veggies with no ill effect whatsoever though. Its ineffectual if you want to deter garden insects like aphids and such. Its pretty ineffectual in deterring any insect to be honest. It used to be a good product but now it does nothing.

Like everything about plants, there are so many variables (season, amt of light, feeding),but I would say for your tiny containers, plant no more than a month before the event. That will give the plants time to become established, but not enough to outgrow the container. Love the idea and so will your guests!

For week 2-4 of flowering only. But if you are u are growing in soil save your money and get a YouTube recepie for a molasses / water mix.May your mm be the best!V

If the caterpillars become numerous enough to threaten the vine's existence (as they do mine every year), you can simply use BT to kill them off. I love the butterflies so I allow them the caterpillars to enjoy the vine until they become too large in number. BT is organic and OMRI approved and I don't hesitate to use it when it becomes absolutely necessary...which is usually not until late summer. The rest of the time I love having all those butterflies in my garden.

I would never pour fertilizer directly on leaves. Mix and pour solution so it reaches roots. Instructions say 3 tablespoons per gallon of water for vine berries.

I use it on my loquat tree at 1 TBL per gallon and it has been working fine for many years. I don't spray after fruit forms except a little on the trunk if we have been raining excessively and it starts looking a little green. I don't spray the leaves or fruit while fruit is present.

We live in Austin tx and do not have snow(thank goodness) . During our summer months, it lasts about 1 month without new growth on roses. New growth must be sprayed as soon as they appear.
