The following was reported: After viewing evidence of damage to our vines, we suspected a herbicide had been applied, most probably from the field of barley, located across x Road, immediately to the East of our site. We made contact with the owner of that property, belonging to Mr. (name), on July 8, 2020. Mr. (name) confirmed that he had utilized the services of a contractor to apply a herbicide for weed control in his barley field. He also indicated that he would then reach out to his contractor, to confirm details. He was able to have the representatives of the contracting firm attend our site, to review the damage, for further evaluation. They confirmed our assessment, linking the damage to the vines to a potential overspray of 2,4-D chemical in June 2020. Our action points are to continue to apply standard vinecare techniques for these vines, regardless of final outcome, to ensure lower stress on the vines. Until the crop is harvested, yield analysis will not be available. However, it is demonstrated that the effects of this overspray are considerable, with expected yields in the range of 10 - 15% of normal/average.
