[Growwine] Help to determine cause of Cab-Sev symptoms

[Canada Vintage]

okay here are the saturation results:

P-P/AI 2.9%
K 0.5%
Mg 1.4%
Ca 33.4%
-K+Mg+Ca 35.4%


Agri-Direct is suggesting I add 8.5 Te/Ha to raise pH to 6.5

What do the saturation numbers represent?

I'll have to get back to you on that. I have the reports at the offce. Howeve, I did show those numbers to the MAPAQ agronomists who visited last week and they were convinced we should run a seperate set of soil tests.

 

In all likelyhood, a low pH may be the single most reason for the abnormal growth in spots.

 

How do you like all this rain?  Wonderful crappy season. Anyone in Quebec who says we are going to have a normal crop should not be taken seriously.

 

This is by far, the worse I have ever seen for rain and disease pressure. How late are we anyway? Two weeks? Maybe three?
