AWRI has recently updated its two apps on the Google Play Store: the AWRI Agrochemical & MRL Search app and the AWRI Winemaking Calculator app.
For Android users − to ensure you continue to receive updates for these apps, please delete your current versions and redownload them from the Google Play Store.
Apple users (iPhone or iPad) do not need to take any action – the Apple version remains up to date.
The AWRI Agrochemical & MRL Search app is a free app that allows you to rapidly access the information contained in the ‘Agrochemicals registered for use in Australian viticulture’ booklet (‘Dog book’). You can:
- search by target pest or disease in conjunction with your current crop growth stage, to identify registered options for use against each target
- search by active constituent to identify MRLs for Australia’s key export markets
- search by export market and target pest or disease to identify registered options for use and associated MRLs against each target
The same information is searchable via an online tool available here. Additional information on agrochemicals can be found on the agrochemicals page of the AWRI website. Download the AWRI Agrochemical & MRL Search app on the Google Play Store here.
The AWRI Winemaking Calculator app allows you to take the guesswork out of a wide range of calculations needed to make red, white and fortified wine. This app is free for Australian-based users and can be purchased by users outside Australia. The app contains tools for calculating:
- acid addition and removal
- SO2 addition and reduction
- wine additions – DAP, copper, oxygen
- wine fining rates – tannin, PVPP, isinglass, gelatine, carbon, bentonite, potassium hydrogen tartrate
- heat and cold stabilisation requirements
- wine fortification and sweetening
- wine label and export requirements – methanol level, standard drinks calculator
- conversions – mass, volume and concentration equivalents, acidity conversions
- For more information on this app, visit the winemaking calculators page on the AWRI website. Download the AWRI Winemaking Calculator app on the Google Play Store here.
