The vineyards of North Khorasan defeated Sefidak Angor
The director of plant protection of North Khorasan Jihad Agricultural Organization said:
the vineyards of this province survived the bite of grape blight disease.
Mohammad Rezaei, referring to the outbreak of white grape disease during the past month in the vineyards of this province, stated:
The severity of this disease was more than the severity of the disease in spring.
He added:
Since grapes are reaching the vineyards of the province, and on the other hand, due to the increase in the amount of sugar in the grapes,
the resistance of the clusters to the disease had increased, so the disease could not damage the vineyards.
Rezaei continued:
Of course, during the last four weeks, due to heavy hail in Badranlui area of Bojnourd, the vineyards were damaged,
which was similar to the damage of white grapes, but this damage was not related to the disease.
He specified:
about three thousand hectares out of 18 thousand hectares of vineyards in North Khorasan were on the cutting edge of the activities of this disease.
According to the official in charge of high relative humidity, weeding and pruning, chemical control,
weed control were some of the factors that prevented the damage.
He pointed out:
Of course, this disease was mostly observed in orchards that did not carry out chemical control, weeding, pruning, weed control.
North Khorasan has 18,000 hectares of vineyards in which all kinds of raisins and hats are produced, etc.
Most of the hats are exported due to having thick skin and raisins are also turned into raisins.
