Pinion Advisory - PIRSA Bushfire Recovery Case Studies
The aim of this project is to extend bushfire recovery trials in the Adelaide Hills for a third season, to allow three small-scale trial sites to continue to be managed and monitored across vintage 2023.
The recovery trials are designed to:
- evaluate different pruning options for returning vines to production after they have been damaged by fire
- evaluate timing of trunk removal and renewal (immediately post-fire compared to winter pruning) for returning vines to production
- determine a realistic range of costs associated with commercial scale recovery activities following damage by fire The project will manage and monitor three bushfire recovery trial sites in the Adelaide Hills for a third season. Activities include:
- recording of key phenology stages and manage vines at trial sites
- recording of yield components for all treatments
- collation of data for the final season
- capture of photography and video content from trial sites
