GroGuard has established itself as Australia’s biggest name in vine establishment technology. 30 years of infield experience has proven GroGuard vineguards legendary strength and reliability. Since the company’s inception in 1990 GroGuard has continued to manufacture its vineguard and associated parts right here in Australia. Proudly licensed to use the Australian Made logo. GroGuard’s Strength Keeps the GroGuard on the Wire The GroGuard is wind tunnel tested, holding to 100 kph. Figure 1. GroGuard's unilateral vineguard at 100 kph in a wind tunnel. (Bricks and covers are keeping sand in place in the tray.) GroGuard’s Rigidity Drastically Reduces Training Costs GroGuard’s rigidity prevents buffeting from the strongest winds.
That encourages the growth of the main shoot and suppresses lateral shoot
growth. Training costs are drastically reduced. GroGuard’s Zip-Safe Seal Fast Assembly The patented Zip-Safe seal means rapid assembly using specially designed hand tool. GroGuard’s Zip-Safe Seal Improves Weed Control, and Reduces Costs The patented Zip-Safe seal is waterproof. Herbicide cannot enter through the Zip-Safe seal, and shoots do not grow through it. Problem weeds can be dealt with easily. Tractor ("boom-spray") application of herbicide is normal with the GroGuard. It is cheap and covers large areas in a short time. In windy weather, early morning and dawn sprays make weed control possible while unsheltered vines are still struggling with weeds. |
