Fungicide Program

Here is what I used last year in the vineyard. Planning to use similar this year.

In planned order of use through the season...

  • Sulfur (kumulus) (1st, 2nd maybe even 3rd applications)
  • Vivando (pre bloom)
  • Luna Tranquility (bloom)
  • Gatten (post bloom)
  • Potassium Bicarbonate & Pure Spray Green Oil (late season)
  • Serifel (veraison onward)

I tend to lean toward OMRI or natural products after veraison.

I also have Fullback but I'm reading it's got great curative properties so may leave it out of the program unless I have a mildew outbreak. Also reading Gatten has good curative properties?

For an outbreak I usually spray PB & Oil and follow up very shortly after with something like Fullback.

Any insight, experience, especially with the prevenatitve/curative properties of any of the above, most welcome.

I'm also toying with the idea of running 100% sulfur on a vinifera block to see how that fares. We have high disease pressure in our area so I would have to spray Kumulus every 7 days, likely.

Wondering if there's a good online resource for "backing tracks" for a square dance. Would still need to have audible fiddle and it's mainly the length of the track that's hard to find as you'd need about 15-20 minutes of continuous playing. YouTube has some backing tracks of things like Angeline the Baker at various BPM but many don't last long enough.

Just changed the hydraulic suction filter and full hydraulic/transmission oil change on a John Deere 3720. The front end loader and 3 point hitch are both raising in a jerky motion which I understand is air in the lines. Through the dipstick the oil is frothy which also is an indication of this. I've run the tractor with slightly above idle RPM and raised and lowered the FEL several times to try and rid the lines and cylinders of air. But still experiencing the issue. When the tractor is idling I can hear a a gurgling type sound under the seat, which I assume is the hydraulic suction filter.

Is this normal and should I just keep cycling the FEL?
