Great wine starts in the vineyard – and that vineyard is an ecosystem. Sustainable winegrowing isn't just about growing grapes; it's about crafting wines that truly express their place while building a business that thrives for generations. When your practices support the whole picture – from soil biology to water conservation, from your team's wellbeing to the native birds that nest in your hedgerows – you're creating something that matters.
Your vineyard tells a story with every vintage. The choices you make shape that story: how you manage your vine rows, the energy you conserve, the water you protect, and the community you're part of. Every decision either adds to or takes away from the unique character of your terroir and the legacy you're building.
FireHawk® Bioherbicide becomes part of your sustainable story. Our Naturally Powerful contact bioherbicide, supercharged with our patented formula, gives you the weed management and sucker control performance you need while actively supporting your sustainable goals. As FireHawk breaks into just CO₂ and water, it works with your soil's natural processes, not against them.
Whether you're maintaining clean undervine strips or managing mid-rows, FireHawk delivers results that align with your winegrowing philosophy. No withholding periods interrupting your harvest schedule. No persistent residues compromising your commitment to quality. Just effective control that supports both your immediate vineyard needs and your long-term vision for the land.

Undervine and Mid-Row Management in Vineyards
Australian viticulturists know the routine all too well.
The undervine spray program that's been standard practice for decades – first one herbicide, then often another when resistance shows up. The "double knock" has become the norm in too many vineyards, especially as ryegrass and other weeds adapt and survive what used to control them.
Winemakers are asking harder questions.
They're thinking about the people operating the sprayers day after day. They're watching what's happening to soil biology after years of the same chemical programs. They're fielding questions about residues from increasingly aware consumers. And they're paying attention to what's happening in courtrooms around the world. The old way of managing undervine weeds and suckers is being reconsidered, row by row, vineyard by vineyard.
FireHawk Bioherbicide offers a different path.
Our Naturally Powerful contact bioherbicide, supercharged with our patented formula, tackles undervine weeds and suckers without the concerns that keep you questioning conventional programs. Set up your sprayer stations, adjust your speed, and watch FireHawk strip away the protective layer of unwanted vegetation, breaking down cell walls for rapid desiccation.
Here's what effective vineyard management looks like with FireHawk:
Your large-scale sprayer moves through the rows at normal operating speed. The spray hits the target vegetation, and within hours you're seeing the browning and wilting that tells you it's working. But here's the difference – as FireHawk biodegrades into CO₂ and water, it's actually supporting the soil biology you depend on for healthy vines. No residues accumulating in your soil. No withholding periods before harvest. No concerns about what ends up in the bottle.
The active ingredient, nonanoic acid, occurs naturally in many of the food crops we eat every day.
It's this chemistry, delivered through our patented formulation, that makes FireHawk so effective at providing the clean vineyard floor you need while supporting the sustainable practices your customers increasingly expect.
Responsible weed control is in your hands.
