When Was the Last Time You Examined Your Soil?

Whether you're planting a new vineyard or making amendments in an existing one, understanding your soil's variability is key. You could have nutritional imbalances, toxicity, or nematodes. Maybe you have an abrupt change in texture and water can't percolate more than a couple feet. Like all things, you don't know until you look. Here at AV we can help you understand your own unique terroir. 

Using an electromagnetic sensor, we can scan your entire vineyard and divide it up into different soil groups. We can drill down (literally) even further with the power probe and identify problem areas in terms of chemistry and soil pests. 

Electromagnetic scanning allows us to visualize how characteristics change throughout your soil, such as pH.

Then we can map your soil to show where and how your soil changes. Put the right amendments in the right place. Start the next season on the right foot.

We Have a Paso Robles Office now!
