How to increase your table grape yield
High wine grape yields are obtained on the most freely drained soils where water is not limiting. Vines will grow across a wide range of soil pHs, but extremes will render many nutrients unavailable and thereby restrict yield. Physical or nutritional manipulation of the vine to allow light into the canopy will ensure maximum growth potential and high yields.

Wine grape health
Grapes need to be free of the different disorders and rots in order to meet market requirements. The extent of these varies according to environmental conditions, varietal susceptibility and crop nutrition.
Minimising bunch stem necrosis in wine grape
Bunch stem necrosis (waterberry) in wine grape affects fruit set and fruit ripening. It can occur around the bloom, in which case it is called early bunch stem necrosis, at veraison or later. The occurrence of it is associated to weather conditions and...
How to make better informed nutrient decisions
Our collection of tools help you to make better nutrient decisions in making the right fertiliser choice and applying the right amount of nutrients at the right time and in the right place so that the crop yield and quality can be maximised whilst still keeping costs in check, avoiding over-fertilisation and protecting the environment.
