Mr. David Stanley (Owner) of Heart of England Vineyard, Nr.
Stratford-Upon-Avon, UK:
"Now that I’ve (nearly) finished the pruning and tying up, I
sat down and opened my copy of The Grape Press. Imagine my
surprise in seeing a photo of my ageing Renault vineyard
tractor! It doesn’t really do justice to the
effectiveness of my spraying equipment supplied by Micron, however,
so I’ve attached a couple of pictures taken today while I was
spraying copper at budburst on the vines with the Turbospray system
and Roundup on the weeds with the Undavina.
You can see how flexible the arrangement is (particularly necessary
with GDC trellising), allowing precise targeting of the spray,
which, with the controlled droplet application (CDA) technology,
means that I use about a third of the chemicals I used to, with
very little being lost to the environment. The Undavina
allows me to keep the weeds at bay whatever the wind velocity and
without risk of spray drift.
Overall, I can heartily recommend the system and, I have to say,
the people at Micron have been absolutely brilliant in helping me
resolve problems associated with the idiosyncrasies of my
site."
