Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Cover crops tolerated repeated applications of Bordeaux mixture without growth impairment.
- Observation Cover crops intercepted up to 7% of the amount of Cu sprayed on the surface of their leaves.
- Mechanism The authors suggest that, under their experimental conditions, leaf properties had only a minor impact on Cu interception.
- Observation Synchrotron analyses suggest that part of the ionic Cu intercepted by a grapevine leaf can penetrate the leaf, bind to the cell wall in the epidermis and penetrate mesophyll and vascular tissues, where it associates with sulphur ligands.
- Recommendation Species with high soil coverage and low water and nutrient demand would be good candidate cover crops to avoid competition with grapevine.
