Vineyard Nutrition

Boost your Vineyard’s Growth with LOHAS Organically derived Soil Improver

LOHAS organically derived soil nutrient is designed to enhance vineyard maintenance by developing roots and encouraging photosynthesis. This leads to the production of maximum sugar and the tastiest juice for superior wine.

What makes LOHAS Fertiliser right choice for my vineyard

The fermented organic matter and balanced NPK nutrients improve soil texture and fertility. The enhanced soil structure promotes water retention, and supports microbial life, leading to healthier plant growth and increased photosynthesis. Consequently, this results in better fruit quality and wine.

Vineyard nutrition: Organic-based Nitrogen nutrients NPK 4-1-2

Pre-bud break to encourage photosynthesis

SAMPLE SOFT BAG  10KG

Description:

The growth and yield achieved by your grapevines each year depends heavily on the Nitrogen (N) levels in the vineyard. While some amount of nitrogen is typically needed each year, the best way to determine what quantity to apply to a mature vineyard is by taking a petiole test. Soil samples should be taken of new vineyards to determine first year application needs. Too little nitrogen often results in limited shoot growth and canopy development leading to reduced yields while, too much nitrogen promotes too much vegetation causing shading, and poor fruit and bud development.

Vineyard Nutrition: Organic-based P&K nutrient NPK 2-5-6

Pre-harvest to support fruiting and root development

SAMPLE SOFT BAG  10KG

Description:

LOHAS specialised Phosphorus and Potassium blend, crafted to address the crucial needs of grapevines. Formulated to target areas where Phosphorus deficiency may hinder fruit set and production, this blend is designed to promote optimal yield and quality. The incorporated Potassium (K), a vital element for robust plant growth and fruit development. With a balanced nutrient contents of 2-5-6, our organic-based nutrients effectively address deficiencies and enhances soil health, providing a tailored solution for vineyards seeking to maximise your fruits quality and yield. Please get in touch to discuss your vineyard nutrition requirement and place orders.

Before harvest: use our high P&K formula; perfect for optimum fruit quality

IMPROVED FRUITS QUALITY AND QUANTITY (Tomato trials by Harper Adams University)

LOHAS Organically Derived Fertiliser Trials – Tomato by Harper Adams University

Tomato Yield, Number of Tomatoes Produced
A statistically significant difference (<.001) was found between the treatments on the yield. The largest yield came from Treatment 8 (LOHAS Nitrogen fertiliser 250 g m2 at stage 1 + chem fertiliser at pack rate (Tomorite)) There is a statistically significant difference between those that did not receive LOHAS LOHAS P K fertiliser at the start of the trial than those that did, with those that did the plants produced approximately 100% more fruit (Figure 5 and Table 3).

Tomato Size

Overall, Treatment 7 (LOHAS Nitrogen fertiliser 250 g m2 at stage 1 + LOHAS P K 400 g m2 at stage 2) produced the largest fruit, closely followed by Treatment 2 (No fertiliser at stage 1 and LOHAS P K 250 g m2 at stage 2) and Treatment 3 (No fertiliser at stage 1 and LOHAS P K 400 g m2 at stage 2). 

Game-changing fertiliser for vineyard cultivation

How to apply

To apply LOHAS nutrient in vineyards, it's essential to follow best practices for organic fertilisation. Start by testing your soil to understand its needs. Then, evenly distribute the nutrient across the vineyard, focusing on the root zones of the vines. It's crucial to apply during key growth stages, such as post-harvest and pre-bud break, to support root development and photosynthesis. This approach ensures the vines absorb the maximum nutrients for optimal growth and fruit production.

When to apply

The best time for soil nutrient application in vineyards aligns closely with plant growth cycles. Optimal timing includes applying nutrients pre-harvest to support fruiting and root development and pre-bud break to encourage photosynthesis. This strategy ensures vines absorb maximum nutrients for healthy growth and fruitful production. For LOHAS Fertiliser, following these guidelines can enhance the effectiveness of your organic-based soil nutrition.

The best time for soil nutrient application in vineyards aligns closely with plant growth cycles. Optimal timing includes applying nutrients post-harvest to support root development and pre-bud break to encourage photosynthesis. This strategy ensures vines absorb maximum nutrients for healthy growth and fruitful production. For LOHAS Fertiliser, following these guidelines can enhance the effectiveness of your organic-based soil nutrition.

Test soil for nutrient needs, start by collecting soil samples from different parts of your vineyard to get a comprehensive view. Use a soil testing kit or equipment to analyze the nutrient content, focusing on key elements like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). The results will guide you in adjusting your soil management practices and fertilization strategy to meet your vineyard’s specific needs.

Soil Testing: Types, Sampling & Interpretation Of Results

eos.com • 8 min read

To interpret soil test results, it’s crucial to understand the significance of each nutrient level and its impact on vine growth. The Penn State Extension guide breaks down soil test reports into sections, helping you identify nutrient deficiencies or excesses. This knowledge allows you to adjust your soil management practices, ensuring your vineyard receives the optimal balance of nutrients for healthy growth and fruitful harvests.

Interpreting Your Soil Test Reports

extension.psu.edu • 5 min read

To adjust soil nutrients effectively, consider incorporating organic amendments based on your soil test results. For example, if the soil is too acidic, applying lime can raise the pH, making nutrients more available to plants. Conversely, if the soil is too alkaline, sulfur can lower the pH. Adjusting pH levels helps ensure that nutrients are in a form that plants can absorb, optimizing vine growth and fruit production in your vineyard.
