Grow Better Wine Grape With Drip Irrigation

The Opportunity for Grape Growers

The quality of your wine grapes depends on a lot of factors. Some of those factors are relatively predictable and others are hardly predictable at all.

So if you want to make sure you’re growing consistently high-quality grapes, you need to make sure you have complete control over the water and nutrients feeding them. More important, you need a system that’ll give you control over vine growth, no matter your topography or climate.

How Precision Irrigation Helps

Precision irrigation delivers water and nutrients straight to the roots of each plant – not the soil. The result is that you’ll be able to increase your wine yield and quality. But crucially, you’d also reduce the amount of fertilizer, water and labour you need.

And if you use digital control systems, you can make it easier to monitor and optimize your yield as it’s growing, and gain data about every stage of the wine grape lifecycle.

"We felt like we needed to make a change. We had center pivots for awhile and they just don't work in our small field sizes. We needed to do something different, so we went with SDI because we could irrigate fields that you just can't irrigate with center pivot."
