Table-Grape Cultivation in Soil-Less Systems: A Review

Table grape (Vitis vinifera L.) is considered to be one of the most popular fruit crops in world. Italy leading table-grape producer EU and main European exporting country. However, stay competitive, new solutions perspectives, including varietal renovation, are now needed addition already well-established Italian production lines consisting conventional open-field cultivation greenhouse cultivation. One these perspectives represented by development soil-less systems (TGSC) under greenhouse. In fact, TGSC alleged offer many advantages terms advancement berry maturity, extreme flexibility, easier manipulation vegetative–reproductive cycle, higher yields high quality extra-seasonal production, sustainability for reduced pesticides application, use efficiency water fertilizers than (soil-grown) They can also useful overcoming soil- rootstock-related problems. this review, opportunities offered recently developed thoroughly examined updated latest experimental application findings sector’s research activity. A special emphasis given evolution applied technical solutions, choice, environmental conditions aims
