I found a website with recommendations for fertilization of vineyards. Their recommendation regards growing conditions in various countries, including Italy, Spain, South Africa and India, which I imagine would apply to us as well.
- Plant population: 2,000-10,000 vines/Ha.
- Soil type: light to medium.
- Expected yield: 15-30 T/Ha.
Soil level | Suggested correction method | |
---|---|---|
Low P | 10-25 ppm | Band 1250-600 (resp.) Kg/Ha superphosphate |
Medium P | 25-40 ppm | Band 600-350 (resp.) Kg/Ha superphosphate |
High P | 40 ppm and above | Band 350-200 (resp.) Kg/Ha superphosphate |
Low K | <200 ppm | 360 Kg/Ha SOP |
High K | >200 ppm | No correction required |
Our soil analysis showed very low concentrations of both Potassium (K) and Phosphorus (P). The analysis also confirmed the pH readings we got using our gauge.
Happy winter solstice!
