Winery wastewater for irrigation (Part 1): Irrigation application and water quality
Irrigation with winery wastewater needs to be optimised to minimise leaching, whilst maximising nutrient removal by means of a catch crop is a necessity.

Winery wastewater for irrigation (Part 3): Vineyard catch- and cover crop responses
During wine production, wineries produce large volumes of poor-quality wastewater. This wastewater can be used for irrigation, but this delivers substantial amounts of elements to the soil.

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.

Winery wastewater for irrigation (Part 2): Evaluation of catch crops on open land
Winery wastewater has a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) with high levels of potassium (K) and sodium (Na). Using it for irrigation adds substantial amounts of elements such as K and Na to the soil, therefore maximising element removal by means of a catch crop is important.

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.
