Matt,
Last season one of my clients used CT in vines very
effectively, are you able to share the recipe that you are proposing to use? The
CT we used was fungal dominated and used Humic acid/fulvic acid, kelp, malt
extract and a small amount of fish emulsion.
It is very important to get good coverage on
the flowers and the fruit, a sticker wetter is critical, we used Nu film 17 and
got good results. Botrytis infection occurs at cap fall when the stamens fall
off they leave a scar area where botrytis infection can occur, thus effective
coverage of the flowers at this point is critical.
We used CT up until 2 weeks before harvest, however there was a negative in
that the Humic acid we used left a residue that did not look good, next time we
will consider using more fulvic acid and less humics in the CT to
reduce the dark coloration of the CT.
Wine has been made from the grapes with good results so far, no negative
effects from the microorganisms in the CT.
Quality was high in shiraz and cabernet grapes despite a difficult
season.
