Abstract:This study was conducted to develop a new growing system that combines high density planting and fertigation of grapevines in order to achieve early establishment, and increased production of high quality fruits. Characteristics of the new system include; 1) absence of root restriction, 2) planting more than 800 per 10 a of own-rooted vines, 3) mulching under a canopy of water-proof plastic sheeting, and 4) supply of water and nutrient solution automatically using equipment comprised of an irrigation system, n… Show more
