More Crop

Function of Amino Acid in PCF

• Boosting up Vine’s Growth and Development

• Can yield bigger grapes

• Better color

• Better brix

• Endure hot temperature during season

• Prevent immature fruit

• Faster coloration

• Faster harvest

Evidence

• Korea Grape Association

▫ KGA is a NGO in Korea which established in 1980 and almost 100% of grape farmers/farms in Korea are member of KGA.

▫ Headquarter of KGA mainly helps grape farmers in Korea to gain information of grape industry, technology exchange, education, training and survey as well as R&D.

History

• 2011 – Test Group of KGA did test on their experimental field.

• 2012 – HQ of KGA selected some group in each area in Korea to test in real field.

• 2013 – All member of KGA decided to use this product.

• 2014 – Some group reported they were not need to do soil conditioning work, which brought soil from another place to maintain their field.

Interview - 2011

• Mr. Park, YongHa▫ Tested on experimental field

▫ Applied from start up step

After application

- The vigor of the tree were good all around the season

- The reaction after application was fast

- Even in hot-wave the vigor was great

- Some group with weak vigor get smooth coloration after application

- It seems the absorption rate of this product is very high not like other amino acid nutrients and need to very carefully watch over the vigor then reduce or add the application quantity and frequency. But the result must be satisfactory.

Interview - 2012

• Mr. Liu, KeunSoon

▫ Tested on 0.5 acre of Kyoho Grape

▫ Applied 2 times after bearing

▫ The vigor was not good before application and planned to uproot the vine after the season.

After application

- The leaves were filliped over

- The vigor of the vine recovered

- The start of coloration were late because put TOO MUCH of PCF.

- The browning of the leave after harvest were also late.

- Decide not to uproot the vine, but will control the quantity of application from following season

Interview - 2012

• Mr. Kim, YeonJip

▫ Tested on 1 acre of Kyoho, Alexandria Grape

▫ Applied from growing step

▫ Also kept Imported Amino Acid from Japan to make comparison on another 0.5 acre.

After application

- The growth and development of the vine were excellent

- The leaves were healthier than compare group

- The size of the grape were bigger

- The color of the grape were better

- My grape win top grade at auction

- I decided to buy more for my not-applied field for better harvesting and it was right decision.

Interview - 2012

• Mr. Kim, JangSu

▫ Tested on 1 acre of Kyoho

▫ Applied from growing step

▫ Also kept Imported Amino Acid from Japan to make comparison on balanced area

After application

- The growth and development of the vine were excellent

- The growing of the shoot were excellent

- The size of the grape were bigger

- The sweetness was excellent in applied group

- Put balanced area on 2nd enlargement step and the vine and shoot get healthier and harvested large grape

Interview - 2012

• Mr. Choi, JaeJoon

▫ Tested on 0.5 acre of BeniBallade in green house

▫ Applied 2 times from 2nd enlargement stage

After application

- The vine showed overgrowth after two much application

- The grape over weighted and the coloration get late

- The absorption rate were much higher than existing nutrients

- Other group with control yield better crop with great color, weight, size and sweetness.

- Need to control the quantity of application as per growth status

Interview - 2012

• Mr. Nam, ByeongKi

▫ Tested on 0.5 acre of Campbell

▫ Applied 5 times during whole season

After application

- Most important difference was no flower/fruit dropping

- The grape vigor much stable

- Experienced early harvesting with great color

- Not yield immature fruit

- Great taste and brix level

- Gained Top 3 award at that season

Interview - 2012

• Mr. Huang, YiChang▫ Tested on 1 acre of Campbell▫ Applied 4 times during whole season▫ 10D before flowering/7D after Pollination/before coloration/during

coloration

After application- The leaves of the grape getting thicker and greener

- Flower stalk get longer- Whole vigor of the orchard was weak, but after application it get

stable- Coloration started earlier than other vineyard, and stable coloration- 7~10 days earlier harvest - Great taste and brix level- The absorption rate is definitely higher than other amino acid

Advantage of PCF

• Boost up growth and development

• Help vigor stable during High temperature, heavy rain and other weather factors.

• Helps action of other agricultural material

• Great crop with greater commercial value

Indirect Advantage

• Grape need lot of nutrient during its growth and the vineyard need continuously fertilize the soil after season, and after 3~4 years cultivation the vineyard need fallow / soil transfer to recover the fertility of soil ,however, amino acids in PCF help microbial activity in soil and keep the fertility of soil with balanced status.

• PCF help microbes in soil to decompose other organic agriculture material to keep fertility.
