Next Generation Viticulture: Capture more light to harvest more grapes
Transforming canopy management systems to maximise sunlight could increase vineyard profitability without compromising wine quality, says researchers.
Bragato Research Institute (BRI) has announced a joint event collaboration with WinePRO.
The international trade event, to run from 25 to 27 June 2024 in Blenheim, will showcase new products and technology, bringing together suppliers, innovators and producers under the tagline Vine to Wine.
Chief Executive Jeffrey Clarke says BRI is invested in the future success of the New Zealand wine industry.
"We look forward to developing an engaging and worthwhile programme that appeals to a wide cross-section of the industry."
The event will include workshops, masterclasses, and panel discussions on a wide range of topics, covering everything from viticulture and winemaking techniques to marketing and distribution strategies.
