ALTIS® RANGE, THE VERY BEST IN PLANTS
ɅLTIS® reflects our commitment to crafting only the best plant material. It is the culmination of over 134 years of experience in the pursuit of excellence and is designed for the most demanding winemakers who believe that plant material is crucial.
The ɅLTIS® range is the promise of high-quality plants
produced with respect for people and for the benefit of future generations.
The table below summarizes all the available formats, including selections, lengths, and grafting types for each format. We offer the widest selection on the market to help you find the ideal plant material for your project.
ORDER CONDITIONS
ORDERS NOT AVAILABLE IN STOCK : DEADLINES AND QUANTITIES
Traditional format : 2.000 plants in 30 cm and 1.000 plants in special lengths.
Pot format : 100 plants.
Orders must be confirmed before January 15th of year N (subject to plant availability and technical feasibility).
DELIVERY TIMES BASED ON FORMATS
Pots 7 : deliverable around June 15th of year N.
Pots 9 and 10 : deliverable around 01/10 of year N.
Traditional bare-root : deliverable from January 15th of year N+1 (early delivery from November 15th of year N, subject to technical and regulatory feasibility).
OPTIONS
Hot water treatment before grafting (scion and rootstock) for all plants in the Ʌltis® range. The pre-grafting treatment does not delay budburst and reduces the risk of failure, unlike pre-delivery treatment.
Roots cutting : must be specified at the time of your order.
THE THREE PILLARS OF THE ALTIS® RANGE
SAFE
Optimal physiological quality with uncompromising quality control : a strong graft thanks to the “thumb test” on two axes, a powerful root system and high-quality reserves.
Controlled origins and traceability with the largest pool of plant material under control (700,000 vine plants for scions and 320,000 vine plants for rootstocks). 100% of the Ʌltis plants are produced in France by our teams, and all certified ENTAV-INRA selections are Vitipep’s.
Efficient, transparent traceability system : thanks to the “Ʌltis® trust plant”, you can access all the information regarding your plants and the origins of the plant material with a single click.
Support, advice, service and technical monitoring included with an expert technician from your region to ensure the success of your project.
HEALTHY
Biocontrols to strengthen natural defenses and fight against wood diseases : all plants in the Ʌltis® range are sourced from CleanPROCESS and inoculated with trichoderma strain I-1237. Pot-grown plants are also mycorrhized at the root.
Systematic sanitary controls to validate the absence of viruses : the teams at Novatech Laboratory perform over 106,000 sanitary tests annually (equivalent to 250 hectares of vineyards) on our plant material and production.
Hot water treatment before grafting to eliminate bacteria associated with Bois Noir, Flavescence dorée and Xyllela Fastidiosa. This treatment does not delay budburst and limits the risk of failure.
RESPONSIBLE
Plastic-free cultivation of our nurseries : to combat weeds throughout the vegetative cycle of our plants, we use mechanical weeders between the rows and manual hoes on the rows.
Drip irrigation to reduce our water consumption by limiting exposure to disease and weed competition.
Reduction of pesticides through the use of natural defense stimulators (NDS), achieving an average pesticide treatment index (PTI) 50% lower than the annual industry standard, without compromising plant quality or recovery.
Commitment to a CSR approach : eco-friendly packaging, gender parity, improvement of working conditions, local suppliers and short supply chains, energy savings, respect for natural resources...
