Abstract
During annual grow cycle the vines develop forms of vegetative and generative organs. For this it needs plant nutrients in the soil, which are located in the root zone. Plant nutrients are substances which are necessary for the life cycle of the plant. Each nutrient element has its own specific physiological role in plant metabolism. With the highly complex functions of roots, vines take mineral nutrients from the soil, which are dissolved in water. For the successful cultivation of vines is necessary to examine the conditions prevailing in the soil in order to fertilization and feeding our vineyard in favorable environmental conditions.
The study was conducted at the vineyard “Grimalda” is located in the central part of Istria. Located on the flysch hillsides or in part of Istria called “Flish Istria”. The samples for analysis were taken according to predetermined rules, so as to be as representative as possible and to provide an accurate analysis. We analyzed the soil at depths of 0-30 cm and 30-60 cm. All collected samples were processed for analysis and gain access to the analysis. The analysis was conducted in the Soil laboratory, Institute of Agriculture and Tourism in Porec.
The results were in line with expectations given the location and the surface on which the vineyard is situated. After examining the same, it is obvious that the location Grimalda should implement specific interventions in order to improve soil properties which are essential for future production. Procedures to be implemented are as follows: introduction of nitrogen in the soil, increase organic matter in the soil, ameliorative fertilization with fertilizers based on phosphorus and foliar nutrition, based on iron and zinc on highly calcareous soils. It is recommended to regularly carry out soil analysis after the end of the growing season, to determine the effectiveness and legitimacy of the recommended solutions.
