Forget ghosts. These are the things that actually keep grape growers up at night. πŸ‘»πŸ‡

The good news is that none of them are unbeatable. Small vineyards don’t need a big budget to protect their vines. They need the right knowledge at the right time.

At Virtual Viticulture Academy, we help growers learn to spot problems early, prevent them, and manage them confidently, on your schedule and at a price that makes sense for small operations.

Magnesium deficiency in grapevines πŸ‡

πŸ”how to spot it and fix it late in the season

Did your petiole or leaf blade tissue test come back low in magnesium? Here’s what to do!

Symptoms: yellowing between the veins (interveinal chlorosis), sometimes reddening on red varieties. Magnesium moves within the vine, so you’ll see it first on the older leaves low on the shoots.

3 ways to fix it:

1️⃣ Soil: on acidic soil, use dolomitic lime (about 10% Mg) instead of adding more sulfur. Aim for roughly 50–75 lbs of actual magnesium per acre.

2️⃣ Drip irrigation: on high-pH soils, run Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) or a liquid magnesium product through your drip ( or broadcast on the ground if needed). Dolomitic lime won’t go through drip.

3️⃣ Foliar spray: for a quick less permanent fix, I prefer a chelated magnesium product (4–6% Mg) over the old-school mag sulfate tank mix. Follow the label.
Get ahead of it before it gets severe.

Have you seen Mg deficiency in your vineyard this year?
