Drip irrigation of treated municipal effluent in vineyards : management for soil sustainability

thesis
posted on 2010-01-01, 00:00 authored by Peta Kane
Vine-row soil chemical and physical properties were significantly and detrimentally altered by drip irrigation of treated municipal effluent. Hydraulic gradients under the drip-emitter fostered strong chemical gradients and high variability of vine-row soil parameters, complicating soil management. Gypsum improves soil properties without impacting vine production when applied in small quantities.
