Just wondering the possible reason why the grape vine leaves are dying. The fresh leaves looks fine, though a bit yellowish. Here is some pictures. enter image description here

Any suggestions to cure the vine? Thanks.

    What is the root growing in, and what is the water supply? Jul 4, 2019 at 6:18
  • It is in a 24 inch deep raised bed soil. The watering is from below through sub irrigation system. Could it be the red blotch and rolling leaf disease caused by potassium deficiency or virus? I feed it with 10-10-10 about 1 month ago. The soil PH level is about 7.

As you suggest it looks like a deficiency more than a disease or virus. Good clean new foliage and dying old foliage suggests the vine is stealing nutrients from the old to feed the new. If this is so, a broad spectrum treatment such as compost or rotted manure might be a better choice than NPK.

Check the quality of the incoming water for additives such as chlorine - ideally that sort of thing should be allowed to evaporate before coming in contact with roots but unless there is special provision for this a sub irrigation system can be problematic. Check University of Maryland for more info on chlorine and plants.

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I treated it with 0:1:1 NPK nutrition solution and now all leaves turn to much more greener. There is no new yellow leaves appeared. Your guess is very accurate.
