Planting advice - How can we help our plants grow?
Free-rooted vines and fruit trees should be planted in autumn or spring. The advantage of planting in autumn is the likelihood of more rainfall, but there is a risk of damage or death from frost. Planting is a key factor in determining the subsequent health of the crop, and thus its productivity.
Planting: but, what to look out for?
The most important thing is to choose the type of plant and the soil and climatic conditions of the area where it is grown.
Assess the soil conditions and plan accordingly to replenish the missing nutrients (Danuba precision services)
Unfortunately, if planting is planned immediately after grubbing, you can expect plant death and poorer development due to "soil boredom". The reason for this is that pathogens infecting through the soil can multiply in the previous planting.
Before planting, it is advisable to seed the area with herbaceous plants. In the case of previous occurrence of agrobacteria, the cultivation of cereals or other annual crops is recommended, as agrobacteria can infect all biennial plants and thus persist in the area. To enrich the medium with nutrients (e.g. nitrogen), it is advisable to use a cover crop mixture, such as Danuba mulch 10 M which contains 10 species of plants and mycorrhizal fungi.
The key is to obtain healthy, pathogen-free propagating material. Virus and phytoplasma immunity/exemption certificates can also be requested from vaccine manufacturers and distributors. However, there are no regulations or exemption procedures for fungi that damage woody tissues.
What can we do to prevent woody diseases?
VIDEO: Tricho Immun Trichoderma strains contained in the preparation are able to inhibit the development of woody tissue diseases (vine diseases such as esca, canker, dieback, brown and white rot of fruit trees). They are able to inhibit or kill the fungi involved in the development of diseases and to stimulate the plant's defence system and development.
In our previous experiments, a 12-48 hour soak prior to planting (1 kg of water per 100 litres) Tricho Immun) has significantly reduced the mortality of vines following planting. After root soaking, the trichoderms were able to colonise the entire plant and survive for a long time

When planting free-rooted vine cuttings and fruit trees, plant development can be promoted by using mycorrhizal fungi, which are sprayed into the planting hole, close to the roots of the plants (e.g. MikoMax Garden, MikoMax Garden). Tricho Immun treatment does not inhibit mycorrhizal fungal colonisation.
