EXPERIMENTATION:
THE REAL INNOVATIVE STRENGTH OF VCR
Long ago in 1967 the Board of Directors of Vivai Cooperativi Rauscedo made a historical decision: the creation of an experimental firm able to develop the best nursery techniques for supporting the VCR production, and to carry out a serious large-scale programme for clone selection.
Few years later the spin-off effects of this research activities were:
- introduction of the paraffin technique for the callusing process and before the plantation in both the nursery and in the vineyard;
- utilization of mulching in the nursery;
- cold room storage for the vine multiplication materials;
- warmhouse for the callusing of the grafts;
- micro-propagation in vitro;
- green grafting;
- agronomic trials for the novelties of table grape cultivars;
and as far as it concerns the clone selection:
- homologation of more than 220 VCR clones in over 30 years of activity. |
