UC DAVIS Study Shows Phyto-Cat's Dramatic Effects on Grapevine Health

The results of a two year study by Dr. Kaan Kurtural at the UC Davis Department of Enology and Viticulture have been released.  This report puts hard data behind what agricultural professionals have been observing for the roughly half a decade that Phyto-Cat has been in use as an irrigation cleaner.  Phyto-Cat treatment produces dramatically better overall plant health and water stress resilience in hot, arid climates.  

The study shows conclusively that hot climate grape vines Phyto-Cat treatment is associated with:

• More efficient use of water
• Improved Carbon Transport
• Accelerated Plant Metabolism
• Increased Growth
• Higher Yields

Some of these effects were also shown to compound over time, the impact of Phyto-Cat increased in year two over the first season of treatment.  As the data continues to be analyzed we will be able to share more about the implications of these findings, particularly in relation to how Phyto-Cat can allow growers to use significantly less irrigation water in many situations.
