- Understanding the role of microbes and their benefits in enhancing wine grape health and yield
- Importance of microbe diversity in vineyard soil
- Understanding your vineyard’s ‘microbial terroir’
- Explaining Phosphate solubilizing bacteria in soil
- Explaining Nitrogen fixing bacteria in soil and on leaf
- Biofertilisers: understanding functional diversity of plant growth promoting bacteria and mycorrhizae into the future.
