GrapeGuard® – to protect your vines from UV radiation, sunburn and heat stress
In recent years, we have all seen how viticultural conditions have become more difficult due to changing climatic conditions. High radiation intensity, low or delayed rainfall and extreme temperatures can significantly affect the quality and yield of your grapes.
With GrapeGuard®, we offer a natural and effective way to protect your vines and strengthen their resistance.
In many regions, the usually very early bud break in 2024 is even earlier than last year. Unlike 2023, however, there is more water available in the soil this year. This water needs to be conserved in the event of a hot, dry growing season.
GrapeGuard® is a mineral UV protection for vines and supports the drought resistance of vines and minimises stress factors. High radiation intensity, sunburn and heat stress affect the yield and quality of the grapes. The development and ripening of the grapes is increasingly shifted to earlier, warmer periods, which increases the risk of droughts and heat waves during the sensitive ripening phase.
Our sunscreen is based on clay minerals and is designed as a plant strengthener to counteract damage caused by UV radition. It is applied to the entire foliage to protect the whole plant – not just the grape bunches. This reduces the evaporation rate of the leaves. This in turn protects the water balance of the vines and strengthens the plant’s own resistance to stress factors. We recommend planning the first application with approx. 8kg/ha at the pea size stage (BBCH 75). Depending on the weather conditions, one or two further treatments can then be carried out to permanently strengthen the protection.
The dosage and frequency of application can be adjusted to the climatic conditions of the specific year and location. GrapeGuard® can be applied with other plant strengthening and plant protection products, which eliminates the need for additional passages and reduces working time. This not only enables flexible use, but also protects the soil and the environment.
We are convinced that GrapeGuard® is a valuable addition to your vineyard and will help to ensure the quality of your grapes.
