🍇🍾Cheers to thriving vines! Over 95% of our Chardonnay rootlings have taken and are growing like champs . We've been nurturing 🌱 them with a custom fertigation 💧 and foliar 🌿 nutrition program to ensure optimal growth, essential micronutrients, and a healthy future . Huge thanks to Rhys Fleay and The Valley Margaret River for collaborating on this project - it's been a pleasure working with you! 🍾🍇

Vineyard planting is underway! 🌳🍇🌱 We're hydrated and treated our grapevine rootlings with VAM Ultra® and Hi-Sea Complex® to promote root growth and vitality. We've also pruned the root system to create fresh wounds for mycorrhizal fungi to infect and shape them for planting.

After treatment, we planted the rootlings in the paddock and applied VAM Ultra® and Hi-Sea Complex® treatment solution to each planting spot. We can't wait to see our vines grow and thrive! 🥂

New vines on the horizon! We're preparing the soil for new chardonnay vineyard planting by mowing and incorporating cover crops as green manure. This helps to improve soil health and fertility, so the new vines can thrive.

Pasture foliar recipe to improve:

✔️Plant 🌾 performance 📈 both above and below the ground.

✔️Plant balance by providing essential trace minerals.

✔️Pasture palatability by introducing nutritional changes in the plant that will promote positive palatazing of the feed.

Cover Crops for Healthy Soil and Strong Vines 🌱🍇

Taking soil sampling cores for soil carbon benchmarking within a carbon farming project in 📍Mid west Western Australia. The soils in the core samples were mostly deep sands with evident no carbon content and also some compacted 🧱sands and gravel was found. This project is very 🔥challenging and exciting, and we are still in the early stages. We are excited to see what we can learn about the soil carbon content in this region and how we can help to improve it.

Let's talk about VAM ULTRA: The mycorrhizal product that will help your crop thrive! 🌱

VAM ULTRA is a natural way to improve your plant health and growth. It's a multi-species microbial inoculant that helps plants take up nutrients and water more effectively. This results in stronger, healthier plants with higher yields.

Cover Cropping at Our Client's Vineyard in the Ferguson Valley

We are currently seeding cover crops in the inter-row of our client's Grenache block in the Ferguson Valley, Western Australia. The seeds will be treated with VAM ULTRA® & BioActive 22®, which are both beneficial products that can help to improve soil health and plant growth.

VAM ULTRA® is a unique soil-less in vitro produced mycorrhizal product that can be applied by subsurface drip irrigation, by mixing with soil media, or by coating seed and roots at planting. It is designed to form beneficial mycorrhizal symbiosis and to stimulate plant health and growth in a wide variety of soils and climates.

BioActive 22® is a liquid fertilizer that can be used to improve soil health and plant growth. It is made from organic materials, including potassium humate and amino acids. Bioactive 22 has a number of benefits, including:

It can improve soil water and nutrient retention.
It can help to detoxify soil and reduce the toxicity of heavy metals.
It can increase calcium retention.
It can be used in a variety of agricultural conditions.
It can be applied to soil or foliage.
It can be used for liquid injection.

We are excited to see the benefits that VAM ULTRA® and BioActive 22® will have on our client's cover crops and their Grenache vines. We will keep you updated on our progress!
