Effect of Sulfur and Soda (NaHCO3) Applications on Plant Nutrition Content of Grapevine in Organic Grape Growing

Effect of Sulfur and Soda (NaHCO3) Applications on Plant Nutrition Content of Grapevine in Organic Grape Growing

Objective : The objective of this study was to determine the influence of sulfur and soda (NaHCO3) applications on nutrient elements in the leaf blade and petiole of Sultani Çekirdeksiz grape variety growing organically during two years (2006-2007) in the transition zone between continental and Mediterranean climates of West Turkey. Conclusion : It was found Sulfur application had positive effects, with the exception of Na, on the amount of macroelements and microelements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn) in leaf blade and petiole of Sultani Çekirdeksiz grape variety, when compared with soda (NaHCO3) applications. The highest increase in Na contenst of the leaf blade and petiole was obtained from soda (NaHCO3) application at 5% significant level.
