A potential method of controlling vine vigour is to vary the in-row vine spacing.

This method has been used successfully in other grape cultivars to manage the vigour and improve the productivity and quality of the grapes.

This project tests 4 different vine spacings across 3 different soil types for both Sultana grafted to Ramsey rootstock and Sunmuscat grafted to 1103 Paulsen rootstock (Project no. DG00003)
