TAILIEUCHUNG - Yield and mineral composition of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Karaerik) as affected by boron management

Boron (B) deficiency is widespread in the northeastern Anatolian region of Turkey. This could impact the production and quality of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Karaerik). A field experiment was conducted for determining the optimum economic B rate (OEBR). | Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry Research Article Turk J Agric For (2015) 39: 742-752 © TÜBİTAK doi: Yield and mineral composition of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv.

This could impact the production and quality of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Karaerik). A field experiment was conducted for determining the optimum economic B rate (OEBR), critical soil test, and tissue B values for yield and quality response of grapevine to B fertilizer application method (foliar and soil) at 5 doses (0, 1, 3, 9, and 12 kg B/ha) for 2 years. OEBR of foliar and soil application ranged from to kg B/ha with an average yield of – t/ha, respectively. The average soil B content at the OEBR was – mg/kg. Leaf tissue B content amounted to and mg/kg, and berry B content amounted to and mg/kg for foliar and soil application methods, respectively. Independently of application method, B application increased tissue N, Ca, Mg, P, K, and Zn, yet decreased Fe, Mn, and Cu content. We concluded that a B addition of kg/ha for foliar application and kg/ha for soil application is sufficient to elevate soil B to nondeficient levels. Key words: Aridisol, boron deficiency, macro and micronutrient, optimum economic yield 1. Introduction Boron (B) is very important for the healthy .
