## A new project in fields4ever

A new partner has joined fields4ever, **Beckstoffer vineyard**, through the project Analysis of BluVite using a soil microbiome system in vineyards, they will take action to recover our soil health thank you to fields4ever initiative.

 

## Project explanation

### Samples required and project description

The project has been granted with **36 samples** to use in vineyards.

### Description

This project aims to evaluate the general effects of [**BluVite**](https://www.enartis.com/en-us/products/wine/viticulture/bluvite/), *a vineyard fertilizer exclusively distributed in the USA by **[Enartis](https://www.enartis.com/)***, on the soil microbiota, namely the specific effects on the microbial community structure and the possible impact on further plant health and nutrition cycles (soil functionality).

### Methodology

For this, three replicates will be tested over three times: **flowering (T1), veraison (T2), and before harvest (T3)**. Using this methodology, a high statistical power (accuracy) of the results will be ensured.

### Goals

- Analyze the impact of Enartis Product - BluVite on the soil microbiome.

- Analyze the capacity of this product to improve soil health and functionality.
