The multifunctional role of legumes in vineyards and orchards

Original language description

Legumes have many positive ecological rules. In vineyards and orchards they eliminate soil and wind erosion and serve as feed source for pollinators, insect and animal species. Maybe the most important role is their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and supply other plants with nitrogen. Pure legume stand is able to fix up to 200 kg of N per hectare. Within a research project “Different ways of vineyard greening and management and their influence on reduction of soil erosion and quality of production” the role of legumes have been studied in six selected vineyards in the south-eastern part of the Czech Republic. The main aim of the project is development and testing of new cover crops legume mixtures intended for use in vineyards both in organic and integrated production. Species-rich mixtures both for inter-rows and for space under grape plants serve to promote biodiversity in vineyards. Cover crops mixtures have a positive effect on physical and chemical soil properties, growth and development of the grape plants, yield and quality of grapes and wines. At the end of the project the final composition of tested mixtures will be specified considering specific soil and climatic conditions. Suitable technologies of planting and a system of stand treatments including the above mentioned positive effect of legumes, as atmospheric nitrogen fixators, on the consumption of nitrogenous fertilizers and thus effective management of mineral nutrition will be emphasized.
