Hi: Browning at the edges of grape leaves usually signifies potassium
deficiency. I would spread about l/2 pound of potassuium chloride per
plant. It should be applied in a straight line (concentrated) about one
foot on each side of the trunk. It can be applied any time. Potasium
chloride is usually sold at the fertilizer distributors as potash muriate.

If potassium deficiency is the problem, wouldn't potassium phosphate or
potassium nitrate be more appropriate? I'd expect that the nitrogen or
phosphorus would be more useful to the plants than chloride.
