sawdust, chemical control with Round up, hand hoeing as well as application
of humic acid and Effective Microorganisms (EM1) were examined for their positive
action on killing weeds and improving yield and quality of Red Globe grapes.
Results revealed that soil mulching with black polyethylene sheets or sawdust,
chemical control and hand hoeing either applied alone or in combined with application
of humic acid and EM1 was very effective in reducing dry weight of annual weeds
and enhancing growth characters, nutrients in the leaves, yield as well as physical
and chemical characteristics of the grapes in relative to control. The best
means for controlling weeds and improving productivity of the vines was soil
mulching with black polyethylene sheets followed by sawdust, hand hoeing and
chemical control, in descending order. Controlling weeds by weeds control treatments
along with application of humic acid and EM1 was superior than using weed control
treatments alone in this respect. Soil mulching with black polyethylene sheets
as well as application of humic acid and EM1 each at 5 mL per vine is suggested
for controlling weeds and improving productivity of Red Globe vineyards.]]>Abada, M.A.M.,2009Superior grape vineyard by using organic and biofertilizers and humic acid.]]>87317344Abd El-Aziz, Y.Z.,2011Thompson seedless grapevines to application of organic fertilizer humic acid and some biofertilizers.]]>2011Abdelaal, M.A.,2011Superior grapevines.]]>2011Ahmed, F.F. and M.H.
