[QUOTE="BelleCordes, post: 1748598, member: 41719"] Fruit drop is usually caused by either fungal infection, insect damage, drought or lacking some nutrient in the soil. If you don't see any sign of disease or pests and you're watering sufficiently, maybe consider having your soil tested? Also, this being a cattle forum, is there any chance you are putting too much fertilizer on them? Too much nitrogen will cause them to drop fruit in favor of producing more green. You'll have beautiful vines with no fruit. Before you start dumping chemicals on them, consider getting a soil test. Look up recommended levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, nitrogen for grapes and adjust what's missing. Also, biologic spray for fungus (like CEASE) can be used up to the day you pick fruit. Copper should only be used before bud break. [/QUOTE]
