Vineyard Nutrition Survey
A multi-institutional research team involved in the HiRes Vineyard Nutrient Management Project seeks to understand current vineyard practices and the technologies that may be used for improving nutrient management practices. They invite all commercial grape growers, consultants, and vineyard management companies from the wine, table, raisin, and juice grape industries across the US to complete a survey. The survey will gather input on what, how, and why nutrient practices are used in vineyards. Make sure your state and grape sector are represented–participate today!

If you have any questions about the survey or the research, please contact Patty Skinkis, Oregon State University, or Markus Keller, Washington State University.
