Biostimulants for healthier vineyard soil
Great wine starts in the vineyard, and a great vineyard starts with the soil. Biostart supports vineyard soil health with a biostimulant range that activates naturally occurring soil and plant microbes – supporting your grapevines to grow the biological way.
Use the Biostart vineyard product range to:
Establish strong grapevines
Stimulating root-zone biology at planting supports long-term health, growth and plant resilience. Our soil biostimulant Mycorrcin stimulates root growth and eases transplant shock in new grapevines.
Improve wine quality, flavour and processing
Blind tasting trials show an enhanced flavour profile for Mycorrcin-treated grapes. Multiple quality improvements like skin integrity, higher juice yields and more predictable fermentation also improved wine processing.
Treat Botrytis
Treat Botrytis in the vineyard with TripleX biocontrol – a combination of fermentation extracts that produce anti-fungal compounds and helps build a protective biofilm on the leaf.
Treat grass grub
Grass grubs can cause root and plant damage in the vineyard, particularly at planting. Bioshield introduces a naturally occurring, long-term disease specific to grass grubs.
Improve grapevine resilience
Support vine health at times of stress by activating beneficial microbes on foliage. Foliacin, our spray on biostimulant, improves plant resilience during disease outbreaks, drought and frost.
Breakdown prunings to reduce disease and release nutrients
Botrytis and powdery mildew can overwinter on old prunings and leaf litter, reoccurring in the Spring. Faster decomposition with Digester improves vineyard hygiene and releases nutrients back to the soil.
Control Powdery Mildew
An effective powdery mildew fungicide for grapevines, Karbyon uses encapsulation technology and a potassium bicarbonate active ingredient to limit growth of fungal mycelia.
