Guidelines for Managing Soil Salinity in Groundwater Irrigated Vineyards

Product Information

 This report outlines the key findings from the project:

• Rainfall percolation is the key to sustaining supplementary irrigation with saline groundwater
• At 25 years of age, salt excluding rootstocks have equal or better yield than own rooted vines and half the fruit chloride
• Soil water extractors give fast and cheap guidance on vineyard salinity status
