For the 2025 ADVICO pruning season, 15 demonstration blocks across nine sites were pruned. Dormant shoots were carefully pruned and weighed individually for each vine, ensuring precise tracking of vegetative growth. This data is then compared to the reproductive yield to calculate the RAVAZ index, providing valuable insights into the performance and potential of each block. This marks the fifth year we are conducting these trials, which continue to help assess and understand the blocks more effectively.
