Understanding Vineyard Soils by Robert White
This book is a practical guide for viticulturists and lay readers seeking general information about soils and grape vine performance. It explains how soils form and why they are so variable. Essential chemical and physical processes involving nutrients, water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, moderated by soil organisms, are described and remedies proposed to alleviate adverse conditions.
Robert White has had an outstanding international career in soil, water and nutrient management for more than 40 years. After working for many years in broad-acre agriculture, he turned his attention to the fascinating interaction between soil and the flavor and aromas of wines world-wide, a topic that happily marries sensory pleasure with science.
