p’ied in late March, only
under the trees and not more
than two thirds 'of the way
to the tips of the branches.
Bittner said, and added,
“Figure just the area under
the trees and do not app.y
more than recommended.”
For weed control in grape
vineyards, Bittner suggested
V 4 gaLon of Premerge or
Sinox P. E. with 3 pounds
of Dalapon mixed in 50 gal
lons of water. Another rec
ommendation for weed con
trol in the vineyard is three
pounds of Karmex in 50 gs--
lons of water per acre of
sprayed area. Any of these
materials should be applied
in ate March or early April,
he said.
In pruning grapes, Dr. Bitr
ner toid the group that each
vine should be cut back to
four canes, each about the
size of a pencil. This shou'd
leave between 40 and 60
buds on the vine and pro
duce a large quantity of
grapes with good size. He ex
pained that the first three
buds usually produce one
bunch of graphs each while
the fourth to tenth buds on
he cane are likely to bear 3
bunches each.
“Grapes are vigorous
plants”, he explained, “And
you have to be quite ruth
less in pruning them.”
