“…Orchards are commonly fertilized with NPK and micronutrients sources (Sierra, 2001). Nevertheless, soil agronomic management has been focused on organic matter to improve soil organic carbon (SOC), chemical-physical conditions, and water content in the root zone (Fincheira-Robles et al, 2016;Gaiotti et al, 2016). Commercial products based on humic and fulvic acids are available.…”

The application of different organic matter sources as soil amendments is a common practice to stimulate root development and soil quality to improve crop yield and quality. For evaluating the effect of organic amendments on soil quality indicators and agronomic variables in table grape (Vitis vitifera) var Thompson seedless, different treatments including compost from grape pomace, humic extract, microbial inoculant, and chemical NPK fertilization, were evaluated in a pot experiment using an Inceptisol soil. Organic materials were applied in four C rates: compost, 0, 125, 250 y 500 g C pot -1 ; humic extract, 0, 25, 50 and 100 g C pot -1 ; compost and humic extract at their maximum C rates were also evaluated in absence of chemical fertilization, and microbial inoculant as bio-stimulant. Results showed a stronger root development in plants with compost and inoculant application. Furthermore, organic matter mineralization increased nutrient availability; this was evidenced by an increment of enzymatic activities, particularly β-glucosidase, acid phosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase, in all treatments receiving compost. On the other hand, the application of humic extract produced a larger increment in WSC per carbon unit applied compared to compost, meaning that the former would be more efficient than the latter to provide C for soil microorganisms. This study showed that the joint application of compost, mineral fertilizer, and microbial inoculant should be considered to improve root development in Table grape (Vitis vinifera L.) and soil quality, under Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) programs.

“…Composted pomace was proven to foster the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soils [29]. Studies performed by Ferrer et al (2001) highlighted the positive effects achievable for maize seed germination in greenhouses by using 1-4 ton/ha of compost from pomace [30], and Gaiotti et al (2016) reported that pomace compost was effective in returning nutrients to vineyard soils [31]. Pomace acidity could be an issue to be eventually addressed through the co-treatment with other substrates (e.g., MSWOF), with mutual benefits as grape pomace mitigates the emission of bad odors and enriches the final product with nitrogen and phosphorus [32].…”

Combining Different Approaches for Grape Pomace Valorization: Polyphenols Extraction and Composting of the Exhausted Biomass

et al. 2022

Grape pomace represents 60%, by weight, of the solid side-streams of the wine-making process. The quantities produced, seasonality, and the presence of polyphenols pose economic and environmental issues that require proper management approaches based on the principles of sustainability and circular economy. The present work focuses on the combined application of solid–liquid extraction of polyphenols from ground grape pomace using a hydroethanolic mixture and the composting of the exhausted pomace. The obtained results support the possibility of recovering approximately 76.5 g of extract per kg of dry grape pomace (or 1.8 g of total phenols per kg of dry grape pomace). The composting process was not affected by the extraction process. On the contrary, the composting process was enhanced by the pomace particle size reduction, in terms of final biostability and content of humic acids.
