Randomized trial evaluates soil fertility outcomes in grapevine canes following lime-phosphorus amendments, suggesting effective fertilization strategies.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the impact of natural and synthetic lime-phosphorus amendments on soil fertility in acid Ultisols and their mineral composition in grapevine canes.
Analyzed mineral elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) in 'Burgund' grapevine canes using principal component analysis (PCA).
Two types of fertilizers were tested: organic (T3, T4) and mineral (T6, T7) under controlled conditions with df = 19.
Evaluated the variance explained by principal components PC1 and PC2 (65.213% and 26.262%, respectively).
Positive correlations were found between macroelements (N, P, K) and organic fertilization.
Strong correlations noted for microelements like Mn and Fe in mineral fertilization.
Statistical analysis showed significant differences in mineral content with p<0.001, p<0.05, and p<0.01.
