Improving vine performance under unfavorable conditions of growth by use of trace elements and microorganisms

Abstract

Long-term plant cultivation imposed by a monoculture such as the vineyards and orchards, leads to exhaustion of the soil, reduction of microbiological activity in rhizosphere, and accumulation of products from pesticides, such as copper and herbicides. The possibility to elaborate a new advanced technology to maintain vineyard health under sustainable conditions and to increase plantation longevity was undertaken in last 6-7 years. The obtained data demonstrate the possibility of developing an effective process for the control of growing conditions and plant nutrition on the soils contaminated with Cu and pesticides, for productivity and resistance to pollution and low temperatures increase, improve product quality, increase the longevity of the vine, reducing chemical pressing on the environment.
