16 Sustainable Viticulture: What does the industry want? Profitable vineyards Low Environmental risk Safe, healthy workforce 3 E s Of Sustainability High quality products Recognition from neighbors, consumers

17 Sustainable Viticulture How do you know if you are practicing it? Define it Measure it -C. Ohmart, Lodi-Woodbridge Wine Commission

18 Agricultural Environmental Management (AEM) Program NY s Nonpoint Pollution control program State Soil and Water Cons. Committee Terminology Tier I: Basic Farm Data Tier II: Worksheet Assessment Tier III: Action Plan Tier IV: Implementation Best Management Practices (BMPs)

21 NY AEM Worksheet Nutrient Management for Vineyards Vineyard Agricultural Environmental Management Worksheet POTENTIAL CONCERN LOWER HIGHER NITROGEN (N) MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Timing of Nitrogen Application All nitrogen is applied during the period of maximum vine uptake (pre-bloom to fruit set) AND Split applications of nitrogen, with 1/3 to 1/2 applied prebloom and ½ to 2/3 applied postbloom are used All nitrogen is applied during the period of maximum vine uptake (pre-bloom to fruit set) AND Split applications not used Nitrogen applications made in early spring while vines are dormant. AND Nitrogen application not split. Nitrogen applications made in early spring while vines are dormant. AND Soils are coarsetextured

22 Long Island Sustainable Practices Workbook Vineyard Management Pest Management Nutrient Management Soil Management Weed Management Pesticide Management Action Plan Alice Wise Long Island Grape Program (50 Questions)

23 Long Island Sustainable Viticulture Workbook 2002 Draft Nitrogen (N) Management Practices Desirable (1) Acceptable (2) Undesirable (3) YOUR RANK When is N fertilizer soilapplied in spring? N is applied at least one week after budbreak. Subsequent applications in spring and summer should be done following guidelines in this manual. N is applied between one week prior and one week after budbreak. N is applied >1 week prior to budbreak.

27 The Workbook 8 Sections 140 Questions

28 The NY Sustainable Practices Workbook Nitrogen (N) Management Practices YOUR RANK When is N fertilizer soil-applied in spring? N is applied during the period of maximum uptake bud break to fruit set. AND Split applications are used with 30-50% of the N applied pre-bloom and the remainder applied postbloom. All N is applied during the period of maximum uptake bud break to fruit set. AND Split applications are not used. N is applied up to 2 weeks prior to bud break when vines are still dormant. OR All N is applied in the period between fruit set and veraison. N is applied >2 weeks prior to bud break. There is little absorption of N by roots prior to bud break. The soil is cold and roots are inactive. Early vine growth depends almost entirely on N stored in the woody parts of the vine. It is unclear whether pre-bud break application of slower release organic fertilizers confers an advantage in terms of N availability to the vine.

29 What Practices Promoted? Vineyard Management Canopy management practices Yield management Nutrition Management Nutrient use efficiency Tissue and Soil Sampling Pest Management Scouting & economic thresholds Weather, variety-driven disease management programs Pesticide Management Mixing, loading & storage practices Worker Protection Standards

30 What Practices Promoted? Continued Soil Management Leaching & runoff potential Preplant site preparation Cover crops & organic matter Weed Management Post- vs. pre-emergent herbicides Integrated tillage/ weed management Irrigation Management System design & maintenance Water use efficiency Continuing Education

31 Grower Outreach Regional Community Educators Finger Lakes (Full-time) Lake Erie (50% FTE) Long Island (50% FTE) Complete Workbooks Individual Groups Develop Action Plans Address 3s and 4s Work with Soil and Water Cons. Specialists

32 Outcomes Early growers completed workbooks 1,500 Vineyard acres 60-80% of responses in 1 or 2 category 3 Action plans complete Completion qualifies growers for cost sharing with NRCS/SWCD

39 Nitrogen use Avoid blanket rates No more than 50 lb/acre maximum Adjust for soil organic matter content Adjust for cropping level, vine vigor Delay first application until after budburst Use split applications (especially on coarse soils)

40 Farm Level Impacts N Application Practices Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer Old Consensus Rate: 300 lb per acre New Consensus Rate: <150 lb per acre 100 acre farm = 7.5 Tons not applied ($ ) 10K acres in Finger Lakes = 750T ($400,000)
