Vinevax is a registered pruning wound dressing that contains a unique high-activity blend of Trichoderma bio-inoculant which quickly colonizes and closes pruning wounds to airborne Eutypa ascospores.
Vinevax provides long lasting benefits
- Fast acting wound dressing
- Closes pruning wounds to invasion by Eutypa
- Acts as a living guard even after 12 months
- Protective zone builds over multiple seasons in the vine tissue
- Effective, convenient and safe spray formula for all pruning wounds
Vinevax is the synthesis of more than 25 years work in New Zealand and Australia, harnessing the wood inoculation and protective properties of the naturally occurring Trichoderma fungi first identified in Europe 40 years ago.
The Vinevax proprietary formulation of essential nutrients and promoters combined with this unique high activity bio-inoculant enables spray delivery to pruning wounds with effective and safe farm performance.
Termed an ‘immunising commensal’ the Vinevax active ingredient enters the freshwound tissue and establishes a living barrier that simultaneously protects against and consumes invading pathogens, and continues to live beneficially within the plant.
