In-field fractional use of winery wastewater with raw water (Part 5): Assessment of the below- and above-ground chemical status of grapevines in the lower Olifants River region
The objective of this study was to make an assessment of the below- and above-ground chemical status of the grapevines growing in the Lower Olifants River region.
In-field fractional use of winery wastewater with raw water (Part 4): Grapevine and wine responses
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of irrigation with in-field fractional use of winery wastewater with raw water on grapevine growth, yield and wine characteristics.
In-field fractional use of winery wastewater with raw water (Part 3): Soil responses
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of in-field fractional use of winery wastewater with raw water for vineyard irrigation on the chemical status of different soils to assess the fitness for use of winery wastewater for irrigation of different soil types with varying rainfall.
In-field fractional use of winery wastewater with raw water (Part 2): Irrigation application, water quality and nutrient load
The primary objective of this project was to assess the fitness for use of winery wastewater for irrigation of different soil types with varying rainfall quantities and leaching levels on vineyard performance in terms of yield and quality under field conditions.
In-field fractional use of winery wastewater with raw water (Part 1): Plot selection, augmentation and climatic conditions
A field study was necessary to investigate the use of winery wastewater for vineyard irrigation to determine the sustainability of such a practice in other environments.
