    Objective

    Evaluate the effects of the timing and rate of Manage™ applications on the yield and quality of Table Grapes.

    Overview

    • Some applied fertilizer and other soil nutrients are unavailable to the plant during nutrient uptake due to complex physical and chemical interactions.
    • Some soil microbes can influence these interactions to increase plant nutrient availability and improve nutrient uptake and utilization, resulting in increased plant biomass and vigor.
    • Some products (e.g., Manage) contain multiple bacterial species that are specifically selected and formulated to promote plant nutrient availability.

    Trial Details

    Crop: TABLE GRAPES (Vitis vinifera)
    Year: 2023
    Location: United States – Central California
    Data Source: Field study was conducted by third-party, independent researcher
    Treatments:
    1. Grower Standard
    2. Manage applied at 10 oz/ac twice during berry sizing and verasion
    3. Manage applied at 20 oz/ac once at verasion
    Cultivar: Krissy
    Cropping Conditions: Trial conformed to local cropping practices. Established vines with conventional tillage
    Application Rate: 10 and 20 oz/ac
    Application Method: Soil drench during active irrigation
    Application Timing: Variable applications at berry sizing and verasion

    Results

    Performance in Table Grapes

    Summary

    • Both Manage treatments produced larger, heavier berries than the untreated control
    • The two 10 oz applications of Manage were more effective than the single 20 oz application in increasing the size and weight of the grapes
    • The two 10 oz applications also increased Brix levels more than the single 20 oz application or the grower standard
    • The trial experienced heavy rain in August due to a rare hurricane event. The rain caused swelling in cracking in the developing fruit which led to a lot of rot and lower yields than is typical for the region
