ASK THE PLANT® Analysis - for Grapes
Precision Nutrition Management for Vineyards and Professional Growers
Give Your Vines Exactly What They Need—When They Need It Most
Grapevines demand balance. Too much or too little of a single nutrient can affect vine vigor, berry quality, fruit set, and ultimately— your vintage. The Grape Plant Tissue Test is designed specifically for vineyards looking to monitor and adjust nutrition with confidence throughout the growing season.
This test analyzes both leaf and petiole tissue, providing a comprehensive snapshot of what's moving through the vine’s vascular system—right down to seasonally critical nutrients like nitrate, potassium, boron, and magnesium.
