Grape vines are fairly adaptable to different soil conditions, because a range of rootstocks are available. In general, the best yields are obtained on deep, well drained soils, providing the available water capacity is more than 60 mm/m. The most important requirement is good drainage. Soils that are waterlogged in spring should be avoided or drainage installed. |

Soil factors influencing eutrophication. In: Soil Guide - a handbook for understanding and managing agricultural soils. (Weaver W. and Summers, R.) |
1998 |
Eutrophication is essentially the nutrient enrichment of waterways leading to algal growth. Soils are closely linked to eutrophication processes because their characteristics influence the delivery of soil particles and nutrients to waterways. This report section describes some of the principles of eutrophication and then elaborates on some soil criteria influencing the problem. |
