AQUAFLEX is being used by an increasing number of vineyards in the management of vines for top quality wine grapes.

The critical importance of soil moisture to the quality of the grapes is well known.

Growers of winegrapes strive to achieve specific conditions at different stages of the season. Optimum moisture conditions as the grapes develop, promotes healthy growth and maximum yield.

However, as the grapes become mature, optimum moisture conditions for sweetness, acidity and general quality for wine making are quite different.

AQUAFLEX provides the grower with up to the minute information about the moisture conditions in the root zone. This, allows the grower to make precise decisions concerning irrigation.

Often, a grower will "stress" the grapes at a critical stage in their growth. AQUAFLEX will not tell you how to grow wine grapes; it is the experience of the grower that determines the right conditions for the quality he desires and top vineyards take this very seriously. This is where AQUAFLEX becomes an invaluable tool.

AQUAFLEX provides the information that adds confidence to critical decisions. AQUAFLEX adds current moisture knowledge to the grower's experience.

AQUAFLEX records both moisture and temperature and the current readings are supplemented by valuable historical data relating to moisture trends and the effect of rainfall or irrigation events. Analysis can be easily made to compare rootzone conditions with that at in different seasons and different vintages.

Many growers of wine grapes are benefiting from the extra, quality information that AQUAFLEX provides.
