The Effect of Municipal Wastewater Irrigation and Rate of N Fertilization on Petiole Composition, Yield and Quality of Okanagan Riesling Grapes

Abstract

. 1989. The effect of munricipal wastewater irrigation and rate of N fertilization on petiole composition, yield and quality of'Okanagan Riesling' grapes. Can. J. Plant Sci. 69: 1285-1294. Okanagan Riesling(Vitis sp.) vines, planted on a sandy soil in 1983, were trickle irrigated with municipal wastewater or well water and with each source of water there were 3 rates of Nfertilization (0, 17 and 34 g N as NH4NO, vine-l y-r), [1984][1985][1986][1987]. The zero-N treatment was increased to 8.5 g N vine-r in [1986][1987]

Treated municipal wastewater for citrus irrigation1

“…Effluent irrigation water increased P in plant tissues of several vegetables (Neilsen et al, 1989b) and increased foliar P more consistently than N and K for apple trees (Neilsen et al, 1989c). Irrigation with wastewater increased petiole P, K, and Ca, but decreased Mg in grapes (Neilsen et al, 1989a) and increased foliar N, P, K, B, and Mn concentrations, but decreased foliar Mg and Ca concentrations of sweet-cherry trees (Neilsen et al, 1991). Increased tissue Na levels were also found in agronomic crops grown on wastewater sites (Campbell et al, 1983) and accumulation of N, P, and K in plant materials occurred in effluent treated cotton .…”

“…In many parts of the world, treated municipal wastewater has been successfully used for the irrigation of various crops including agronomic Bole and Bell, 1978;Campbell et al, 1983;Feigin et al, 1984) and horticultural (Basiouny, 1984;Neilsen et al, 1989aNeilsen et al, , 1989bNeilsen et al, , 1989cNeilsen et al, , 1991 crops. Recently, in Florida, several projects involving the reuse of municipal wastewater for citrus irrigation have been initiated.…”

Effect of Irrigation using Diluted Winery Wastewater on Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon in a Sandy Alluvial Soil in the Breede River Valley - Vegetative Growth, Yield and Wine Quality

“…Irrigation with municipal wastewater increased N, P and K + in apple tree leaves, and increased trunk diameter (Neilsen et al, 1989b). In a similar trial, petiole P, K + and Ca 2+ of Okanagan Riesling grapes increased where municipal wastewater was used for irrigation (Neilsen et al, 1989a). Furthermore, wastewater irrigation increased yield.…”

“…Water saving and higher yields will also contribute to the sustainability and economic viability of wine production. In addition to these benefits of re-using diluted winery wastewater for irrigation, the nutrients in the wastewater could reduce the necessity to apply fertilisers and, consequently, reduce the cost of fertilisation (Neilsen et al, 1989a;Kumar et al, 2014). In particular, K + in winery wastewater could make a meaningful contribution to the annual K + requirements of the grapevine.…”

Effects of Reclaimed Water on Citrus Growth and Productivity

“…Recently, wastewater has been used to increase yield and improve quality of grain crops (Al-Jaloud et al, 1993;Day & Tucker, 1977;Day et al, 1975;Karlen et al, 1976;Morvedt & Giovdane, 1975;Nguy, 1974), cotton Feigin et al, 1984), forage (Bole & Bell, 1978) and vegetable crops (Basiouny, 1984;Kirkham, 1986;Neilsen et al, 1989Neilsen et al, a, b, c, 1991Ramos et al, 1989). Reclaimed water has been successfully used to irrigate many fruit crops; apples (Nielsen et al, 1989a), cherries (Neilsen et al, 1991), grapes (Neilsen et al, 1989a), peaches (Basiouny, 1984) and citrus (Esteller et al, 1994;Kale & Bal, 1987;Koo & Zekri, 1989;Morgan et al, 2008;Omran et al, 1988;Wheaton & Parsons, 1993;Zekri & Koo, 1990).…”
