Good Afternoon Dear Growers!
Please see the Brix and Acidity values for this week in the table below:
Sugar accumulation is moving up slowly. The best way to optimize the heat, daylight and time we have left before harvest is to DELEAF the fruit zone- from both sides at this point.
Drop the small clusters above the fruit zone. This will also help focus soluble solid accumulation in the clusters you want- in the fruit zone.
We have observed grape splitting in Pinot Noir, Osceola, Lucy K and Leon Millot - most likely other cultivars as well. So again, spray Milstop and KMS; they will help alleviate some of the disease pressure.
If you require a site visit, please reach out.
Thank you again for your time this week, and see you in the field.
Cheers!
Katarina
