Re: Long split

captan will NOT heal anything. It is used as a fungicide. Always read the label, safety first.

I noticed a split in my vine just about where my fruit is growing.  Will
captan work for healing that also? Mike in PA

I cant find Captan around here. It is nasty stuff. Be carefull if you use it.
I
usualy cut dead leaves right by the vine. I really dont spray it with
anything
or bury although maybe i should.

Where do you buy Captan? Also, when you prune dead/damaged leaves/vines,

how

close to the vine do you cut and do you spray with something and bury?

All,

I had rain for 40 days and 40 nites. Actually, just a bad storm on

Sunday but

one of many. The patch finally is drying. I measured this morning and

had no

growth overnight. I am at 103" circ. after 30 days. I pruned a

little today,

mostly all the dead leaves and some vines.

I now have a 1.5' long split down the center of my fruit running

stem to

blossom. It is in the middle. I patched it with Captan. What are my

chances?

Probably not so good.


Thanks,

Rob
