Trial in Vinalopó 2014 Embolsada table grapes

In Spain, table grapes are grown on trellises or on vines, the yields obtained by vine cultivation (varieties Italia, Napoleón, etc.) are higher than those obtained by trellis cultivation (varieties Aledo, Italia, etc.). Although table grapes are not a soil-demanding crop, they have a preference for deep, well-drained soils.

When talking about Vinalopó Bagged Table Grape, we would necessarily have to refer to the cultivated surface area and the municipalities that produce it with the Vinalopó Denomination of Origin. Some 10,000 ha are cultivated and include the towns of Agost, Aspe, Hondón de las Nieves, Hondón de los Frailes, Monforte del Cid, Novelda and La Romana; and municipalities such as Monóvar, Petrer, Pinoso, etc. also have small areas dedicated to this crop.

Vinalopo’s bagged table grapes, protected by the Denomination of Origin, are always grown in a trained vineyard or on a trellis. The number of plants per hectare shall be a maximum of 3000 ft/ha for trellis training and 1200 ft/ha for vine training.

The trial was carried out in the town of Monforte del Cid, Alicante, in the Vinalopó area, famous for its bagged table grapes. The Tomex and Bio-algeen products were used for the trial on 2 hectares of the Italian variety and high trellis with irrigation. Following our experience in the cultivation of table grapes in previous years, a protocol was drawn up for the application of Tomex and Bio-algeen products for a higher yield at the lowest possible cost for the farmer. Protocol which is attached.
