Overview

This factsheet discusses soil texture, mineral content, nutrient-holding capacity, soil acidity and alkalinity, water-holding capacity, and more to help you understand and manage your soil for healthy grapevine growth and production.

Soil management is an important aspect of grape production that may begin even before planting a vineyard. Soil provides the water and essential nutrients required for healthy grapevine growth and production, and like the grapevines themselves, vineyard soils require care.
