About us
Bio-Service is specialized in the various grafting techniques, in particular T-bud and Chip-bud.
In 30 years of operation, we have performed hundreds of thousands of top-grafts in most regions of Italy and abroad, and have the honour of numbering prestigious producers among our clientele.
Top-grafting a vineyard of either old or young vines has become a cost-effective operation which is easy to perform without having to uproot and replace an unsuitable cultivar.
We are able to find the best varietal or clone-replacement solution for every situation. We have the expertise to suggest the most appropriate cultivar and clone for your needs.
Unlike the cleft graft, with the technique we use there is no risk of blight or subsequent detachment due to incomplete sealing, so it is the only one which will stand up to mechanical harvesting and guarantee an equivalent lifespan to plants which have not been top-grafted.
We can field graft American rooted cuttings planted directly, using vegetative bud techniques as well.
This top-grafting technique allows us to restore vines affected by esca disease.
We guarantee technical control of sites with our personnel during the collection and storage of the scions, the preparation of the plants, the grafting and throughout the period of vegetative growth of the grafted plants.
We choose the appropriate techniques and the best moment to take action, providing a written guarantee of a success rate of over 90%. The experience we have gained in the field enables us to obtain average success rates of 94-96%, with peaks of 98%.
Our operatives
We use highly qualified personnel who have carried out thousands of grafts employing the various techniques and on different species; only the manual dexterity acquired over years of experience makes it possible to make the perfect cuts that guarantee the complete take of the graft.
Our specialist operatives come from regions in which the grafting technique is practised frequently.
The personnel is able to assess the most appropriate technique in relation to the training system and the vigour of the plant, and to identify the point on each single plant where the graft offers the best guarantee of success.
