Grapes

Resilience, soil carbon sequestering and wine quality programme

Growing healthy, high-quality grape vines starts with thriving soil biology. Mycorrcin, Foliacin and Digester work together to create optimal soil and foliar health, resulting in strong plants that produce high quality grapes as well as sequestering carbon.

Check out our brochure on vineyard support products to learn about our other products that can be added to your premium programme to really maximise results.

Product	Timing	Application
Mycorrcin	Early Spring	Apply 10 L/ha at bud break with a herbicide application. Weed spraying typically covers 1/3 ha so this application is equivalent to 3.3 L Mycorrcin/ha.
	During the growing season	Co-apply Mycorrcin with any subsequent herbicide applications. Tank mix 2 L of Mycorrcin/ha in 200 L of water. As weed spraying typically covers 1/3 ha this program is equivalent to 0.66 L Mycorrcin/ha per application.
Foliacin	Early growth/first cover spray up to flowering	0.5 L/ha in a minimum of 200 L of water. Apply every 10-14 days with crop protection sprays and/or nutritional sprays. Target 3 applications.
	After flowering and up to harvest	0.5 L/ha in a minimum of 200 L of water with every crop protection spray and/or nutritional spray. Target 3 applications.
	After periods of stress	1 L/ha in a minimum of 200 L of water. Then 0.5 L/ha every 10-14 days with crop protection sprays and/or nutritional sprays.
Digester	Post-pruning or leaf fall; or at mulching	Apply 4 L/ha in a minimum of 200 L of water applied over leaf litter and prunings to the soil. If only applying to the weed spray strip (1/3 ha) then this is equivalent to 1.32 L Digester/ha.

Notes

For best results apply Mycorrcin to moist soil and/or water in.
Mycorrcin can be mixed and applied with most herbicides and liquid fertilisers.

Foliacin can be mixed and applied with commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilisers.
In times of high stress increase rate to 2 L/ha.

	After planting	Apply 4 L/ha Mycorrcin.
	Vine growth until lifting	Apply Mycorrcin at 1 L/ha/month via fertigation system.

Notes

For best results apply Mycorrcin to moist soil and/or water in.
Mycorrcin can be mixed and applied with most herbicides and liquid fertilisers.

Foliacin can be mixed and applied with commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilisers.
In times of high stress increase rate to 2 L/ha.

Organic Biofertiliser Programme

Product	Timing	Application
Biostart N	At budbreak	Apply 200 mL/ha.

Product	Application
Mycorrcin	Immediately apply Mycorrcin at 5 L/sprayed ha (can be applied with weed spray or via fertigation system).
	Then apply Mycorrcin via fertigation at 1 L/ha every month until harvest or at 2 L/ha with weed sprays.
Foliacin	At 10 days after the frost apply Foliacin at 1 L/ha (can be applied with a cover spray).
	Apply Foliacin at 1 L/ha at pea size (can be applied with a cover spray).
	Then from veraison apply Foliacin at 0.5 L/ha about every 14 days with cover sprays.
Digester	After harvest apply Digester at 4 L/sprayed ha to activate decomposition microbes and stimulate breakdown of any residual grape mark.

Notes

For best results apply Mycorrcin to moist soil and/or water in.
Mycorrcin can be mixed and applied with most herbicides and liquid fertilisers.

Foliacin can be mixed and applied with commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilisers.
In times of high stress increase rate to 2 L/ha.

Botrytis

Product	Timing	Application
TripleX	Flowering 5% and 80% cap fall (E-L 20 and 25)	Spray at bunch line at a dilution rate of 500 mL/100 L water.
	Pre bunch closure (E-L 31–32)	Spray at bunch line at a dilution rate of 500 mL/100 L water.
	Late season (E-L 35–38)	Spray at bunch line fortnightly at a dilution rate of 500 mL/100 L water.
