Light management for vineyards.

Whether you are establishing new vines or squeezing more from a mature trellis, the limiting input is usable light. Opti-Harvest manages it at both ends of a vineyard's life.

Questions vineyards growers ask.

How much sooner can a new vineyard reach production?

Vines grown in Opti-Gro chambers develop lignified, mature laterals in their first season, which brings first production forward by 1 to 2 years compared with conventional grow tubes. A conventional new vineyard typically takes 2 to 3 years to first crop and 4 to 5 or more to full production.

Does light management work on an established vineyard?

Yes. Opti-Panel is designed for mature vineyards and trellised fruit. It converts overhead sun into scattered, red-enriched light across the whole canopy, which raised wine-grape yield 36% in trials and cut mold and rot by more than 90%.

What does it do to my water bill?

Filtered light reduces daily water stress and builds denser roots, so vines use water more efficiently. Cabernet trials in Paso Robles measured 281,000 gallons conserved per acre per year, and some trial blocks maintained yield with irrigation reduced up to 100%.
