Results

 

  • Using Solinure FX increased the yield increased in both years of the experiment by 14.1% and 12.6%, without affecting wine quality parameters
  • Solinure FX increased the weight per bunch in both years by 14% and 11.8%
  • Compared to normal grower practice, Solinure FX provided an additional €1,701/ha of income.

 

Often, important wine quality parameters like potential degree, sugar content, malic and tartaric acid, tend to decrease as yield increases, due to a dilution effect. Besides malic acid, which was significantly improved, there were no significant differences for any of the others parameters. This proves that Solinure FX increase yield while quality parameters are maintained at an optimum level.
