This field trial, conducted at Corbans Viticulture, tested the effectiveness of 
six soil amendments on young grapevines. A number of tools were used to assess nutrient
uptake in the vines, including vine growth, root structure and biological activity
in the soil during the first year of vineyard establishment.
 Superzyme was the 
most effective of the biological formulations, particularly noticeable in enhancing
root growth near the soil surface in young vines. Overall, Superzyme consistently
produced good growth in most vines, most likely due to continued growth of vines
given this soil amendment over the Summer months.
