Soils in eastern Washington are alkaline and typically have high pH. Davenport now suspects that soil depth is also a factor in Concord chlorosis. "We've studied soil pH extensively and can't fi nd distinct correlations between chlorosis and soil pH. We see chlorosis in vineyards with soil pH of 8.3 in one location and fi nd it again nearby in pH of 7.8," she said. Treatment Davenport continues looking for the magic cure that will solve Concord chlorosis with a single treatment. She's had success from making two applications of che- lated iron in the spring. A rate of 34 pounds applied in May and June can eliminate the chlorosis. The problem with her treatment recommendation is that chelated iron is very expensive and costs $4,000 to $6,000 per ton, plus application costs. And, treatment is needed annually because there is no carryover effect. Therefore, she recommends only spot treating symptom- atic vines with chelated iron in the form of Fe-EDDHA (ethylenediamine-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl) acetic acid). Davenport spoke during the Washington State Grape Society's annual meeting. • PHOTOS COURTESY OF WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY
