Abstract

This study was carried out in Alaşehir-Yeşilyurt Enterprise of Manisa Viticulture Research Institute in the western part of Turkey from 2006 to 2007. In this study, effects of the three different tillage methods: conventional tillage and two conservation tillage methods; Mulch tillage and reduced tillage on nutrient contents of organically grown Sultani Çekirdeksiz grape variety were investigated. Experiments were undertaken using randomized block design with three replicates consisting of 12 vines per parcel. According to the results, it was found that there was highest average nitrogen(N), phosphorus (P) potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and iron (Fe) and copper (Cu) contents of the leaf blade and petiole in mulch tillage; highest average magnesium contents of the leaf blade and petiole in mulch tillage; highest average Cu and manganese (Mn) contents of the leaf blade and petiole in conventional tillage; highest average manganese zinc (Zn) contents of the leaf blade and petiole in reduced tillage at 5 % significant level.
