Product catalog summary
Introduction to Thermaculture™
Thermaculture™ is a revolutionary agricultural technique designed to enhance vineyard productivity and quality. It addresses challenges such as poor fruit set and fungal development, especially in adverse weather conditions. By applying heat, it improves fruit set, increases yields, and enhances wine quality.

Key Benefits
  • Improved Fruit Set: Heat application during bloom increases fruit set by an average of 22%.
  • Increased Yields: Thermaculture™ has shown a 16% increase in harvest yield per vine.
  • Reduced Pesticide Needs: Integrating Thermaculture™ can reduce pesticide costs by up to two-thirds.
  • Enhanced Wine Quality: Wines from Thermaculture™ grapes consistently perform better in blind taste tests.
  • Rain Damage Mitigation: The technique helps dry crops post-rain, reducing mildew and fungal risks.

How Thermaculture™ Works
Developed by Agrothermal Systems, Thermaculture™ involves applying heated air to crops using a tractor-mounted device. The system operates at a minimum temperature of 150°C with a wind velocity of 40-60 km/h. The Agrotherm XT machine is specifically designed for vineyards, cane berries, and orchards.

Technical Specifications
  • Base Unit Weight: 840 kg
  • Speed for Application: 5 to 6 km/h
  • Minimum Power Requirement: 60 HP
  • Row Width: 2 to 3.5 m
  • Gas Consumption: Approximately 100 kg for 7-9 hours of operation

User Experience and Testimonials
Users have reported significant improvements in yield and quality. For instance, Jason Domingos noted a 37% increase in yield, while Fabrice Dubourdieu observed a 20% increase in fruit set and 25% heavier bunches.

Conclusion
Thermaculture™ offers a promising solution for enhancing vineyard productivity and quality, making it a valuable investment for growers facing unpredictable weather and seeking to improve their crop outcomes.
