Management
Reduce costs by 10%, improve retail value by 20%
GeoAgronomics draws upon a variety of management approaches, including zonal management, in which different areas of the vineyard are managed according to their unique conditions, and adaptive management, in which different management practices are applied according to observed needs and improved knowledge. Trellis design, in terms of row orientation and geometry of vine support, and pruning practices can be tailored to optimize vine health, to protect grapes from frost, sunburn, and mildew damage, and to ensure even grape ripening.
Irrigation and fertilizer application schedules, pest management, and selective harvest based on timing of ripening can all be managed to minimize costs and maximize vineyard performance based on observed needs. GeoAgronomics' focus on management according to local variability and resources makes it a natural partner of both organic farming, with its focus on environmentally-friendly practices which seek to eliminate the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and sustainable agriculture, with emphasis on long-term environmental stewardship and economic viability.
