— Crop Programme
In grapes, the export grade is decided by discipline. Downy mildew and powdery mildew each have defined windows, thrips mark the berry at bloom, and bunch quality is built with nutrition well before veraison. Our grape programme is written around growth stages, not the calendar.
Every spray is a decision about the final bunch.
7 Products in the programme
— What Decides the Season
— The Schedule
A season plan written around growth stages, not the calendar. Doses are label rates — confirm against the product label before each spray.
0–30 days after pruning
Protectant cover before the first infection window; feed the new flush.
30–45 days
Thrips control to prevent berry scarring; support set through bloom.
45–60 days
Tight disease intervals in favourable weather; boron for berry uniformity.
60–100 days
Powdery mildew watch; open canopy management shortens leaf wetness.
100 days onwards
Pre-harvest intervals are tested, not assumed. Plan the last spray date first.
Use agrochemicals responsibly. Read the label before use.
— The Programme
Products registered or recommended for grapes, each with its dose per acre, timing, and precautions on the product page.
Spinosad 45% SC
Thrips scarring at bloom marks the berry for the rest of the season. One planned spray at 75 ml per acre protects the export grade that no later spray can restore.
Azoxystrobin 23% SC
A downy mildew miss in grapes can take out a season's bunches in a week of rain. Azoxin holds the window at a cost that disappears against the value of one saved harvest.
Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP
Late blight moves faster than any curative programme. Curalis is priced against the cost of standing in a lost tomato block — not against the cheapest bag on the shelf.
Tebuconazole 25.9% EC
Fruit rot at the finish undoes a season of good work. At 250 ml per acre, Tebura protects the final grade for less than one percent of the crop's standing value.
Seaweed extract 28% w/w (Ascophyllum nodosum) L
Flower drop under stress is invisible until the picking is light. Setra holds set through the windows that decide the count, at a cost measured against fruit that never formed.
Chelated Micronutrient Mixture (EDTA) — Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B, Mo
Micronutrient deficiency does not announce itself — it just grades your produce down. At 100 g per acre, Chelamix costs less than the difference between two market grades on a single quintal.
Boron 20% (Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate)
A cracked pomegranate is not a discount — it is a reject. Boran, applied on schedule, protects the whole-fruit percentage that the premium grade is paid on.
