Terroir (Soil Texture)
Objetive
To know in depth our soils before and after planting
Results
Prior to planting, all uncultivated land was mapped using a technique called electroconductivity (I'll upload the technique), which allowed us to indirectly identify the different types of soil in each location. To verify and classify the soil types, more than 500 calicatas were carried out.
It was possible to design the parcelization of the farms.
The type of rootstock to be used was determined depending on the soil composition.
The type of irrigation was determined.
Determined which variety was most suitable for the different soil types. Information on the origin of the general and particular soils within the farm.
Understanding vine development in these soils.
Collaboration with Pedro Parra y Guillermo Corona.
