SOIL THERAPY™ VINEYARD PROGRAM
3 Easy Steps to Boost Production & Profit

 (Printable version click here)

Step 1
Soil Therapy™ Report and LifeForce® Prescription Blend

Once a year, undertake soil testing using the NTS Soil Therapy™ Service to determine soil nutrient requirements. Broadcast your specifically designed LifeForce® Prescription Blend immediately after harvest prior to planting a cover crop. Balancing the minerals in your soil will help to improve soil structure and increase general fertility.
Step 2
Fertigation and Foliar Program

Please note that this is a general program and should be monitored and fine-tuned with leaf analyses. Certain fertigation inputs may need to be omitted based on soil excesses (contact your Soil Therapy™ Agronomist).

Fulvic Acid™ at 2 L/ha with all foliar sprays.

Step 3

Building Biology

Nutri-Life 4/20™is a potent microbial inoculant which will help to improve soil structure and nutrient recycling by repopulating the soil with beneficial soil biology. 4/20™ can be brewed by YLAD Living Soils at Young, stabilised with our unique Nutri-Life Entrap™, and delivered on farm for ease of application. Applications of this product at 100 L/ha should be alternated monthly with Nutri-Life Myco-Tea™ (also supplied brewed on request). Myco-Tea™ is a fungal dominated inoculant which helps build soil fungi and creates an environment in which grapevines thrive.

Note: Microbial fertigations can be included with the fertilisers above - add the brewed microbes to the tank last after dilution.
