How to increase your table grape yield
High yield of table grape is obtained on the most freely drained soils where nutrients and water are sufficiently available. Table grape grows across a wide range of soils, from sands to clays, that can be of high or low fertility. Table grape growth and yield are restricted on sites with very heavy clays or very shallow soils, poorly drained sites, high salt concentration and extreme pH; because nutrients cannot be sufficiently available.
How nutrient management can affect table grapes
Influencing Table Grape Size and Shape
Physical or chemical crop manipulation is important to ensure an even berry size and consistent maturity in order to meet the markets requirements. The use of the growth hormone Gibberellic acid (GA) at flowering can reduce table grape berry set by around...
Influencing Table Grape Quality
Table grape quality standards vary between countries. Many have been established as a result of local preference, taste and tradition. Maintaining high sugars and a juicy berry by manipulating the time of maturity is important for marketability.
Influencing Table Grape Health
Deficiency of any essential nutrient can hinder growth and development of a crop. Well-nourished crops are generally more tolerant of diseases compared with sub-optimally nourished crops.
How to make better informed nutrient decisions
Our collection of tools help you to make better nutrient decisions in making the right fertiliser choice and applying the right amount of nutrients at the right time and in the right place so that the crop yield and quality can be maximised whilst still keeping costs in check, avoiding over-fertilisation and protecting the environment.
