Your Table Grapes can Achieve the ultimate Shape, Look and Taste with Precision Irrigation
In the table grape market, grapes must be beautiful and perfectly shaped, but that’s not enough; they also need to feature the right symmetry and maturation. Precision irrigation gives you control of both water and fertiliser, so you can produce high quality grapes in a consistent cluster every time.
Why Choose Drip Irrigation for Your Table Grapes?
- Reduce costs by 30%
Precision irrigation delivers a controlled amount of water and nutrients straight to the roots of each plant, wasting nothing. This practice can save you up to 30% in water and fertiliser costs alone. In addition, precise water delivery ensures minimal weed growth, reducing herbicide application costs. - Promote uniformity
Even if you’re growing on a slope or in an odd shaped vineyard, pressure compensating drippers ensure uniform fruit development and zero flow variation. This consistency positions you to harvest only once, and market a uniform yield. - Customise by growth stage
Drip irrigation allows flexibility; you can create an irrigation and nutrition regimen that’s tailored to each stage of cluster development, empowering you to control all quality parameters. - Suitable for all climates
Many grape-growing regions are so dry that irrigation is vital for the vines to thrive. Other areas need irrigation to supplement the nutrient drainage caused by massive rainfall. No matter what your weather, precision irrigation assures the right amount of both water and nutrients directly to the plant root-zone. - Protect your vineyards from frost
Spring frost causes the greatest damage to table grape yields, claiming as much as 60% of the crop in colder climates. Our frost protection solutions are indispensable and will ensure you harvest your grapes every year - with no surprises.
Table Grapes GAQS: Things We Get Asked Often
-
Why should I choose drip irrigation over sprinklers for my table grapes?
Drip irrigation provides optimal, uniform soil moisture and outstanding aeration, which is critical for cultivating marketable table grapes. As no water is wasted due to run-off or evaporation, drip saves 30% on water and energy costs when compared to sprinkler irrigation. Delivering nutrients directly to the roots means that there is no weed growth between vine rows, and more importantly, moisture levels within the canopy remain low, reducing the risk of threatening foliar diseases.
-
Can drip irrigation systems be activated remotely?
Yes. Advanced digital tools allow you to activate and manage both irrigation and Fertigation™ from the palm of your hand, wherever you are. You can also utilise additional digital tools like soil moisture and plant sensors to optimise your yields and resources.
