There are products that contain microorganisms and some are called biofertilizer. These microorganisms, when applied in the soil, can live associated with plants, favoring vegetal nutrition and plant health.
Water is the main factor limiting yield in viticulture. Vine water status also strongly impacts grape quality.
Much has been already written regarding the gluthationylate (GSH-) and cisteinylate (Cys-) precursors of 3-mercaptohexan-1-ol (3MH) since the discovery of their presence in grapes and juices.
In the province of San Juan (Argentina), the area of the Jáchal river presents a high potential for the production of grapes used for high quality wines.
