Vineyard Petiole and Tissue Testing / by James Hook

Nutrition management plays a critical role in determining vine yield and, importantly, the fermentation characteristics of grape must and flavor of the final wine product.

How do you monitor vine nutrient status? One indispensable tool in the arsenal of vineyard managers is petiole testing, a powerful technique that offers numerous benefits.

DJ’s offer nutrient testing at three critical times of the vines growing season;

  • Pre-flowering

  • 80% Capfall

  • Veraison

Vineyards can achieve optimal nutrient management, early detection of disorders, and tailored vineyard practices, setting the stage for exceptional wine production.
