IRRIGATION & IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT
The Australian dried grape industry strives for innovation, ensuring its processes are efficient, sustainable and fair.
Rootstock Effects on Salt Tolerance of Irrigated Field-grown Grapevines (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Sultana). 2. Ion Concentrations in Leaves and Juice
Field vines of cv. Sultana, grown either on their own roots, or grafted to a range of rootstocks, were drip irrigated at three salinity levels over a five-year period.
The study concluded that a high innate vigour of a rootstock combined with moderate to high chloride and sodium exclusion ability represents the best combination for salt tolerance in Sultana grapevines as measured by yield at moderate to high salinity.
