Drought tolerance of different scion cultivars (Part 4): Vegetative growth and yield
The study aimed to assess grapevine vegetative and yield responses in an almost worst-case scenario, i.e. grapevines growing under dryland conditions in sandy loam soil in the Swartland region.
Drought tolerance of different scion cultivars (Part 3): Grapevine water status
the objective of the study was to assess the grapevine water status of selected reference and alternative scion cultivars under dryland conditions in the Swartland region. It must be noted that the study aimed to assess grapevine responses in an almost worst-case scenario, i.e. grapevines growing…
Drought tolerance of different scion cultivars (Part 2): Soil water status
The objective of the study was to assess the vegetative growth, yield and wine quality response of selected alternative and reference wine grape scion cultivars to dryland conditions in the Swartland region of South Africa.
Drought tolerance of different scion cultivars (Part 1): Introduction
The objective of the study was to assess the vegetative growth, yield and wine quality response of selected alternative and reference wine grape scion cultivars to dryland conditions in the Swartland region of South Africa.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 8): Vulnerability of selected soils in areas with different rainfall
The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of simulated winter rainfall on leaching of basic cations in soils irrigated with diluted winery wastewater.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 7): Effect on soil enzyme activities
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of irrigation with diluted winery wastewater on the activities of urease, beta-glucosidase and phosphatase of four soils varying in parent material and clay content.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 6): Effect on soil phosphorus
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of irrigation with diluted winery wastewater on soil P of four soils varying in parent material and clay content.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 5): Effect on soil K, Na and pH(KCl)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of irrigation with diluted winery wastewater on selected chemical properties of four soils varying in parent material and clay content.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 4): Evaluation of a pot experiment on four differently textured soils
The objective of the study was to design and evaluate a pot experiment to determine the effects of irrigation with diluted winery wastewater on different soils.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 3): Soil chemical responses on a well-drained soil
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of winery wastewater (WWW) irrigation on the chemical soil properties and potential environmental impacts at an existing grazing paddock at a winery near Rawsonville where WWW has been applied for many years.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 2): Soil chemical responses on poorly drained soils
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of winery wastewater (WWW) irrigation on soil chemical properties and potential environmental impacts at a new paddock at a winery near Stellenbosch where no WWW had previously been applied.
Winery wastewater irrigation (Part 1): Annual dynamics of volumes and quality at two wineries
The objective of this study was to investigate the annual dynamics of winery wastewater volumes and quality at two different wineries.
