Combined effects of silicon and yiest on grapevines
Abstract
In the frame of the Research Studio Austria FERTI-MINE we investigated effects of silicon amendments on grapevines in a field experiment near Krems opeated by the Viticultural School Krems. Our preliminary results indicate a partially stress-aleviating effect of silicon during fungal attack. In cooperation with the company bio-ferm we will contiinue the experiments by including also treatments with a special yeast strain. Both partners, with support by the Viticultural School Krems, will contribute towards the experimental work. Bio-ferm will conduct most of the field research while BOKU will conduct the laboratory experiments and analytical work. All partners will be involved in data analysis and publication. This project is intended to provide information for further developments such as utilization of silicon derived fom recycling materials in combination with yeast to further enhance the effect of the individual products.
