The vineyards below are under heat and water stress, reaching daily temperatures of 45°C (113°F.)

The treated vines received 3 applications:

• 2 litres/hectare at 25% bloom;
• 2 litres/hectare after 21 days; and
• 4 litres/hectare 21 days later.

The difference in the plants and produce is obvious.

Left - untreated; Right - treated Untreated Treated

Listen to Grape Growers Who Use AntiStress:

"We normally pick at the end of September, but last year we picked in mid-August. I know a lot of guys were early last year, but not five weeks early. Plus, we normally have trouble getting sugars beyond 20 brix, yet last year we went to 23." "I really don't know what happened (to reduce insect pressure on the treated vines) ---but in the untreated block, the hoppers required two extra sprays in July and early August to get them under economic control."

"I ended up with 300 tons of (raisin) grapes where I normally get 250 tons." "Throughout the season the vines maintained a healthy and vigorous appearance and I noticed that the lush canopy contributed to a significant decrease in sunburn." "I normally have to spray for mites and leafhoppers every year but after applying the polymer I didn't have any insect pressure at all."

"Last year we used it on our table grapes. In an average season we have 12/16 to 14/16 size berries. Last year we had 15/16 berries. This year we're using it on everything we have."

"When we used it last year we found that we didn't need to spray for hoppers in some cases. This is an added benefit we didn't expect, but I'm not one to complain. At such a low cost per acre, this is a terrific material to help us reduce our chemical use."
