| Abstract/Contents: | "Three soil surface treatments were compared for grape production under irrigation. Plastic mulch was superior to glyphosate and to grass sod in producing yields during the first 2 years of production. By the 3rd year, the glyphosate treatment was equal to the plastic and both were superior to grass sod. Cluster weights and pruning weights were suppressed by grass sod, compared with plastic or herbicide, but were unaffected by nitrogen. Nitrogen fertilizer treatments had no measurable effects on the grapevines and showed no interaction with the soil surface treatments. None of the treatments (soil surface or fertilizer) had any effect on berry soluble solids. The use of plastic mulch is an effective cultural technique, the usefulness of which will depend mostly on cost and environmental comparisons with herbicides." |
