Long-spur pruning has shown promise as an alternative to the more commonly used cane pruning for Sauvignon blanc in Marlborough. This workshop provides an opportunity to learn and discuss with researchers and practitioners how the in-season management of this system differs to a conventional 3-4 cane VSP system, and to discuss the benefits and negatives of this system and the experience of growers.
Internationally, UVC light technology has proven to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for controlling powdery mildew. In partnership with A Lighter Touch (New Zealand), BRI is exploring how UVC light could help grape growers manage powdery mildew more sustainably.
Join Prof Andrew Waterhouse Professor Emeritus at UC Davis, Dr Bin Tian from Lincoln University, and Dr Stewart Field from NMIT, as they present on maceration, mouthfeel, wine colour and phenolics in Pinot noir and red wines.
This two-day, jam-packed event is a celebration of findings from the seven-year Vineyard Ecosystems research programme and its spin-off projects.
