Abstract: In order to know the soil environment impact on grape quality at a vineyard in Ningbo, the heavy metal contents of the soils and irrigation water in this vineyard were analyzed annually with reference to the relevant national criteria and specifications. At the same period of time, two vineyards at different places were selected as control. This study showed that compared with the controls, the soil environment quality at this vineyard could meet the requirements issued by Standard of Nuisance-free Food: Environmental Condition for Fresh Grape Production. The comprehensive pollution index of study sites were from 0.211-0.267, that means the vineyard is in a safe condition.
