The electrical conductivity of irrigation water used for grape production in Australia is generally in the range of 0.2-3.5 dS/m, with most under .6 dS/m.
Trials in the Sunraysia region have shown that moderate to high salinities (1.75-3.5 dS/m) over four seasons reduced yield of own-rooted grapevines (cv. Sultana) whereas vines grafted to salt tolerant rootstocks eg Ramsey experienced no yield reduction.
