AHA Viticulture News
Entwine Australia
- Entwine Australia is a voluntary enviromental assurance program that allows winemakers and wine grape growers to receive formal certification of their practices according to recognised standards. AHA is currently assisting growers in the region in Freshcare, a WFA approved, independently audited enviromental certification program. Currently we have a number of vineyards accredited so feel free to contact us to see how we can certify you.
Call the office for pricing or further information on 9756 8011.
Airborne Imagery
- Airborne imagery (0.5m resolution) should be acquired at veraison (and before bird netting is applied). We have supplied imagery for most regions of Australia and both winemakers and viticulturists are actively embracing this management tool.
Please phone our office on 08 97568011 for further information including costs and a quotation
We provide a monitoring service for many clients in the South West. A monitoring programme provides early detection of vineyard pests, fungal pathogens and bacterial diseases, potentially saving money on sprays or preventing crop damage. We also have capacity for fruit maturity analysis as well as quality assessments of vineyard blocks.
Recent observations include:
- Pests such as mealy bug
- Fungal diseases such as botrytis and powdery mildew
Please contact our office for further information on our monitoring service.
We have trained and experienced labour teams available for work on your vineyard. Current work underway consists of bird netting application and both hand and machine harvest logistics. Please contact us for more information.
