QUALITY PLANTS TO BE DELIVERED IN 2018

Farmers throughout the Western Cape suffered a great deal in production

because of the ongoing drought. We were fortunate to have filled our dams

to capacity with water from boreholes, rainwater from the mountains and

the Berg river water scheme for our different nursery fields. Water was

utilized to benefit the nursery fields above the rootstock plantations and

vineyards.

The use of drip irrigation instead of sprinklers gave us the opportunity to

use water more effectively. This also resulted in a less humid microclimate

which helped the prevention of downy mildew during the season. The warm

and dry climate, with adequate irrigation water, insured a good and healthy

growing season with strong vines.

Graft unions doesn’t show any difference from previous years and we are confident that our plants will perform accordingly. Wood on the vines are maturing above expectations and we believe it has enough reserves to get it started in the fields. We are looking forward to provide you with quality vines in 2018 from Voor-Groenberg Nurseries.

VERWELKOM VOOR-GROENBERG BABA’S

Voor-Groenberg het ‘n pienk én twee blou voetjies ryker

geword: Mag hulle vir julle baie jare se geluk en vreugde

bring!

• Baie geluk aan Koos en Johanette van der Merwe

met hul tweede pienk voet, Cari, wat in Januarie

haar verskyning gemaak het.

• Asook aan André en Marna du Toit met hul seun,

Jean, se geboorte in November 2017.

• Petro het oupa geword, baie geluk Petro en Marlene!

CHENIN BLANC HET GEEN GELYKE Chenin blanc het weereens gewys dat hy geen gelyke het wanneer dit by aanpasbaarheid kom nie. Nie net is dit Suid-Afrika se "werkesel" cultivar nie, wat aangewend kan word vir 'n verskeidenheid wyndoelwitte, maar word ook met groot sukses in tropiese wingerdgebiede verbou. Tropiese wingerdbou word wêreldwyd kommersieël toegepas in lande soos Brasilië, Peru, Thailand, Taiwan, Indië, Ethiöpië and Kenia. Tradisionele wingerdbou handboeke kan toegemaak word wanneer wingerdprestasie in tropiese omgewings (waar die wingerdstok heeljaar kan groei) evalueer word. Cultivar verskille is uiteenlopend en onverstaanbaar. So byvoorbeeld kan Merlot nie suksesvol verbou word nie weens 'n totale gebrek aan groeikrag, ongeag die onderstok. Chardonnay het 'n baie lae botpersentasie wat ekonomiese verbouing onmoontlik maak. Cabernet Sauvignon en Sauvignon Blanc groei sterk maar het besonderse lae vrugbaarheid. Shiraz is 'n vrugbare rooi cultivar, maar slegs kloon SH9. Die ander kommersiële klone se vrugbaarheid is heelwat laer. Maar dan kom Chenin Blanc wat almal uitstof in terme van groeikrag en vrugbaarheid. Selfs die minder vrugbare klone soos SN24 produseer bo-gemiddeld. Nie net is vrugbaarheid goed nie, maar dit kan twee oeste dra, een elke 6 maande, wat moeilik deur enige ander cultivar geewenaar word.

WELL KNOWN TABLE GRAPE CULTIVARS

Currently there are a few ‘OPEN’ table grape clones available that were tested to be clean of leaf roll. Below are a few

well known cultivars and their clones that are available. (Take note a specific clone must be referred to by letters and

numbers.)

TABLE GRAPES

Crimson Seedless CU2365A; CD2365D

Dan Ben Hannah DB217A

Dauphine Y341

Flame Seedless FS158A

Joybells JB971

Redglobe RF1203A; RF1

Sultanina ST5C(H5); ST5

RAISIN GRAPES

Dovine DV4405

Sultanina ST430(H4)

Selma Pete PS4407

Zante Korente ZK16B; ZK1

Several older cultivars are established in the mother blocks, but

currently it has no significant economic interest in the table

grape industry.

Call our office for more detail about other cultivars.

STOOR-SPREIERS:

VGB het in 2017 ‘n spitterstoor opgerig met die uitsluitlike doel

om stokkies daarin te pak eerder as om dit in die land in te lê.

Hierdie gebruik hou verskeie voordele vir VGB in:

1. Die stokkies is nie aan die elemente ontbloot nie

2. Arbeidsintensiwiteit verlaag

3. Bestellings kan teen ’n vinniger spoed gelaai word

Meer as 800 000 stokkies sal op hierdie manier gestoor kan word,

afhangende van faktore soos spasiëring, bondelgrootte, ens.

Die stokkies (50 per bondel) word bo-op mekaar gepak tussen

staalstaanders. Spitterlyne word outomaties uurliks aangeskakel

om die stokke konstant nat te hou en sodoende teen uitdroging te

beskerm.

Die stoor is 30m x 24m groot, met genoeg spasie vir ‘n trok om

regdeur te kan ry. Kliënte sal dus binne-in die stoor trek om hul

bestelling te laai. Hierdie sal dus ook handig te pas kom indien dit

reën of wind waai wanneer stokkies gelaai word.

OOR-ENT VAN BESTAANDE

BLOKKE:

Andrew Teubes lewer al vir jare die diens om bestaande wingerde oor te werk na nuwe mark-gerigte cultivars.

Blokke geoormerk vir enting se groeikrag moet bo-gemiddeld sterk wees en verkieslik nie ouer as 10 jaar nie. Verder is dit uiters belangrik dat die rolblad-status van die wingerd bekend is aangesien dit 'n groot impak op wingerdprestasie sal hê na enting. Kontak vir Andrew sodat die tegniese en praktiese aspekte van die proses bespreek kan word voor middel Junie.
