In this article:
Field-grown vines of cv. Sultana on either their own roots or grafted to a range of rootstocks, were drip irrigated at one of three salinity levels (0.40, 1.75 and 3.50 dS/m) over a five year period. Rootstocks were Ramsey, 1103 Paulsen, J17-69 and 4 hybrids (designated R1, R2, R3 and R4) derived from parentage involving Vitis champini, V. berlandieri and V. vinifera.
The study has shown that over a 5 year period rootstocks such as Ramsey, 1103 Paulsen, and R2 grafted with Sultana were tolerant of salinity, producing dried grapes of generally high quality.
