With flowering underway, or even completed, this would be a good time to know how the vines are doing. One of the best ways to do this is to take random samples of your pedioles from your vineyard and send them to the lab for analysis. If there are deficiencies, you will have the time to make adjustments to ensure you get the best possible harvest. For those with vineyard managers, this would be a good time to ask if the managers have performed a pediole test and how did the results look.

If anyone has any questions, or would like references to laboratories, please contact Daniel Howsepian at 5Powderhounds@gmail.com or Gerard Van Steyn at gerardvs@gmail.com and we would be glad to help!
