Water management of saline soils

Grape water management in black deep soils
Saline Soil Management – How much to water a vineyard is very important, depending on the general soil type. If the soil is of heavy black type, water should be given less than the light medium soil, but there are two types of black and heavy soil, (not previously) one soil can drain water well and the other is black and heavy, but does not allow water to drain down at all. The reason is the same, if the regular water used in the garden is alkaline or too alkaline, these salts get trapped in the soil to a certain depth and then the new salts from the water stick to the first salt layer, if there is a lot of rain in the monsoon, these salts are also washed away, but this year This problem can be seen in many black soils due to lack of heavy rains, in black soils, the drainage capacity of the soil decreases due to excessive accumulation of sodium salts, while in calcareous soils, the drainage capacity of the soil decreases due to the high concentration of calcium carbonate. If black soils are high in sodium salts, a heavy application of gypsum is recommended in such soils, but this is not an immediate cure for increasing soil drainage. This experiment is beneficial when the garden is in rest period, adding 50 kg of sulfur per acre to high calcareous soil will increase the drainage of such soil. Apart from this, the vineyard in black soil needs to be watered according to the state of the garden, such land 5000 liters per acre twice a week during resting period, 17500 to 18000 liters per acre per day after April pruning and 4000 to 6000 liters per acre per day during the first budding period after October pruning and 10500 liters per acre during the growing stage. It has to give 18000 liters of water, (water planning has to be done by looking at how much unnecessary cracks break while giving this water). Drainage remains excellent and such land is hollow and humus. Even if there is a little too much water in such soil, the garden does not turn yellow due to good drainage, but if there is no drainage in black soil, immediate measures have to be taken, 150 kg SV fruiter dripper per acre with one inch of soil and two liters of SV59 + two liters of SVK drip per acre. should be released from the drip, the huge number of these bacteria immediately start working, because of the availability of food from the SV Fruiter, these bacteria move quickly and hollow the soil, within four to eight days, the number of earthworms in this soil starts to increase and in a very short time, the drainage of the soil is like a miracle. grows, the excess salts trapped in the soil are dissolved and the grape vine can easily absorb the nutrients in the soil and it becomes easier to produce good quality grape bunches along with the health of the soil.
