Vineyard care is a continuous process that requires a lot of attention. Properly selected equipment helps complete tasks on time and is crucial for efficient work.

In this article, we will recommend the essential tools and products that are key to achieving a rich harvest.

We will also suggest where to purchase the right equipment at affordable prices without compromising quality.

Sprayers for Protecting Vines from Pests

Spraying vines is a very important process. It is essential to choose the right timing, use appropriate chemicals, and strictly follow all rules. Considering all these factors will reduce risks to almost zero.

Today, there are many types of sprayers on the market, so it’s important to choose carefully according to your needs.

One universal and versatile option is the INGCO manual knapsack sprayer, available at Nova. It has a capacity of 16 liters and a pressure of 4.5 bar. Made from high-quality materials, the INGCO Knapsack Sprayer HSPP4161 is designed for intensive use. It features a large pump that is easy and convenient to operate. It is suitable for vineyards and general agricultural use, including spraying fruit trees. It can also be used for indoor and outdoor disinfection. The device comes with instructions and does not require prior experience to use.

Sprayer Prices

The price of sprayers depends on several factors, including the type of device. There are electric, mechanical, and gasoline-powered models. Gasoline sprayers are more expensive due to their power. Mechanical sprayers are more affordable and easy to use due to their size and weight.

Nova stands out in the Georgian market for its prices and quality. Here, you can find 16-liter mechanical sprayers at very competitive prices.

Gasoline Sprayers

As mentioned, gasoline sprayers are larger and more expensive but also more powerful. They offer a good spraying range and are considered among the most effective tools on the market.

They typically have a fuel tank capacity of about 1 liter, allowing for long working periods. The engine power reaches up to 1.4 horsepower.

These sprayers deliver strong performance, with a cylinder capacity of 25.6 cm³, pressure of 15–25 kg/cm², and a chemical tank capacity of 25 liters.

At Nova in Tbilisi, you will find a wide selection of sprayers of various sizes and types, suitable not only for vineyards but for many agricultural tasks.

Vine Diseases - What to Consider

Unfortunately, vine diseases are very common, and the number of pests continues to grow.

Here are some tips to help protect your vineyard:

Common threats include grape worms, black rot, powdery mildew, downy mildew, black spot, and bacterial diseases.

Before spraying, prepare both the chemicals and equipment. If using an electric sprayer, ensure it is fully functional. Mix the chemicals separately and then add them to a half-filled tank, stir well, and then add water.

During spraying, make sure to cover both the upper and lower sides of the leaves evenly.

Pay attention to weather conditions. Avoid spraying in windy weather or right after rain when leaves are still wet. Also, check forecasts and postpone work if rain is expected.

Always follow the instructions on pesticide labels.

Proper maintenance of equipment is essential. Regularly monitor sprayer parts to avoid malfunctions. If the device has many issues, it is often better to replace it with a new one rather than repair it repeatedly.

Vine Tying Tool

Another useful tool is the vine tying machine, which simplifies vineyard work and supports plant growth.

Its main function is to tie the plant to a support structure. It can also be used for other plants such as small trees, bushes, and tomatoes.

Using it is simple - create a loop around the plant, and the device secures and cuts the tape automatically. This ensures proper support for the vine.

Advantages:

• Can tie 3–4 times more plants compared to manual work

• Saves significant time

• Portable and lightweight

• Easy to use without training

• Efficient operation without damaging crops

Despite its efficiency, the vine tying tool is affordable. Always read the instructions before use and maintain it properly. Avoid leaving it outdoors, as this may damage it.

Vineyard Posts

For many winemakers, metal vineyard posts are the most popular choice and can be used for over 15 years.

There are starting and intermediate posts, available in various shapes, sizes, and thicknesses. Metal systems are considered the most effective due to their durability and ease of use.

At Nova in Tbilisi, you can purchase both types of vineyard posts. They are made of galvanized steel, which increases durability and quality.

Key Benefits:

• Durable - withstands strong winds and heavy grape loads

• Corrosion-resistant due to zinc coating

• Easy installation without special tools

• Low maintenance

• Long service life

Vineyard posts at Nova are affordable and produced locally in Georgia. Since 2015, Nova has held ISO 9001 certification, ensuring high production standards.

You can also find vine stakes, which are essential during the early stages of plant growth to properly support shoots.

As mentioned, every vineyard requires specific care, but there are universal tools useful for many agricultural activities.

Nova is the place where you can find all the necessary high-quality equipment at affordable prices and confidently prepare for a rich harvest.
