It is a method of driving that can be adapted to traditional pergola system. It was developed by a producer in this area. Funding is through the Provincial Fund for Transformation and Growth.
Mendoza producer area Rivadavia, Louis Ramero developed an innovative driving vid where the canopy is divided and suspended. This is a structure to guide the strain so that vertically oriented cords suspended from their foliage is obtained, allowing a single row of poles grapes two beads finally obtained. One of the great advantages of this system is that it does not have to start from scratch to have a vineyard with these features. The Rame system is a versatile and allows a vineyard with vine type driving system can be converted to the new system with minimal investment. The idea for this came about ten years ago by his need to get a producer workforce is very difficult to find harvest. So we devised this system that is approved by the INV to make vintage mechanically. The results were very good, we made cost studies indicate that the reduction is 30% to 40%, he said. Advantages – The distribution of the canopy provides ventilation which improves crop health behavior.
– Allows the strain is balanced naturally with a uniform sprouting.
– It is intended for harvest mechanically. The harvester for Rame system, consisting of an assembly that is adapted to tractors 45HP vintners just the same way that an implement common annual work (eg. Arado), can be removed once the harvest and use tractor for the annual cultural work without any problem.
– The wine grape potential is increased with a higher level of production.
– Its design allows a significant improvement in the conditions of cultural practices, reducing costs by 40%.
– The system permits Ramé antigranizo placing cloth, without the need for great structural modifications. Saving in the cost of placing more than 50%. Financing is one of the innovations in credit lines Provincial Fund for Transformation and Growth (FTyC). Starting next week will be available two credit lines: one for the placement of the conduction system and Rame hail mesh and another just to the conduction system. The conditions are similar to those of credit to hail mesh. Up to 10 hectares, the rate of interest to five years is 0%. 10 to 20 acres at a 3% interest and over 20 acres to 5%. Credits are five years with one of four repayment grace. Credits are between 15 and 20 thousand pesos per hectare. From FTyC, its director, Guillermo García told FARM this line arises from the need for the industry to improve productivity associated with the market.
