What is it for?
It's no secret that the most appetizing and tasty grapes by nature are the most vulnerable. They can easily become infected with various fungi, from mildew to powdery mildew. And even good agricultural technology does not help here. Another danger is the frequent change of weather, from heavy rains to hot dry days, which greatly increases the risk of infection of grapes with fungal diseases.
On this basis, the spring processing of such an indispensable inhabitant of your garden will also provide reliable protection from harmful environmental factors, excellent growth and rich fruits.
If you live in the area where frosts often occur or their appearance is expected, make special ventilation holes for the spring period. The full opening of the plant is carried out only after germination of buds and the appearance of a green cone.After that, you can start the processing of the fruit shrub directly with confidence.
Ways
For the destruction of all diseases and pests will be useful not only the treatment of the bush itself. If you process the soil well, it will only increase the effect.
Spraying
Specialized chemicals will help you in the destruction of activated pests and plant protection from various kinds of damage throughout the season. The processing of homemade grapes after winter by spraying the bushes prevents its defeat by fungi and bacteria. If you are afraid of damaging strong chemicals to animals or plants, use special environmental products that are absolutely safe.
For reliable protection, it is necessary to process the stumps, sleeves, shrub vine and tree trunks.
Tillage
A very important agrotechnical technique for growing this crop is the cultivation of the soil of the vineyard. The first spring soil treatment is carried out after cutting the bushes, but not later than the buds bloom. After the topsoil has dried, you can begin processing it. 
Dig the soil at a depth of 15 cm using a hoe. The second treatment in the spring comes at the end of May, when weeds are growing massively and abundantly.Meteorological conditions, chemical properties of the soil, indicators of its humidity and weediness will help you in calculating the number of soil treatments.
In this case, be sure to provide the rhizome of the plant with a large amount of oxygen. Mulching pristvolnyh circles using peat or compost will be an excellent addition to the first spring treatments.
Timing: when to process spring?
Choosing dates when you want to spray grapes in spring, remember that processing can take several stages, each of them has its own characteristics and prerequisites.
Vines of grapes should be processed in the period after the opening of the bushes with a solution of iron sulphate in the ratio of 300-500 g per 10 liters of water. Use 200-300 g if swelling of the eyes is observed. This treatment does not guarantee the plant full protection against fungal diseases.
Its main purpose is the fight against harmful microorganisms that settle during the winter, and above all with the mold that has settled on the plant after the winter digging.
Before carrying out, be sure to carry out the first wreck, removing all the excess shoots and their buds. The most beneficial for the plant will be preparations that show an active effect even in cold weather ("Horus" or "Strobe").For better effect, you can add a special insecticide that helps to kill ticks. For example, "Actellic" or "Fufanon". All subsequent processing should be carried out in the summer, immediately before flowering, when the clusters have already matured.
This will improve the immunity of the shrub, as well as protect against the occurrence of fungal diseases and prevent premature drying of the foliage. To grow a good grape harvest, pay a lot of time and attention to it, watch for the slightest changes in the state of the plant.

- Contact action.
- System action.
- System-contact action.
This type of drugs is characterized by a short waiting period, it very quickly and effectively destroys fungal spores. They can re-process the bush, since the parasites do not get used to it and each operation will be effective. 
At the same time, their action will be minimal with deep infection of cells, they are not resistant to precipitation, which gives them useful properties only for a short period of time.
Systemic preparations get into the tissues of grapes at high speed and provide the plant with almost complete protection. They have a deep healing and prophylactic effect on the whole bush; these substances also protect it in the local processing of leaves.
Racks to rain, thus providing lasting protection. Systemic medications have a long waiting time. Their use is not recommended more than twice a season.
