This study was carried out to determine the
suitable classification of soil quality for vineyard fields of Akçaköy,
Çatalca, Efemçukuru, Görece and Yeniköy villages in Menderes district of
Izmir-Turkey. In vineyard fields, soil pH gave a positive relation with Ca and
significant negative relations with P, Fe, Mn and Zn contents. Soil organic
matter (OM) content had significant positive relations with EC, P, Fe, Mn and
Zn and significant negative relations with bulk density and CaCO₃
content. Soil quality index values for the vineyard fields varied between 0.38
and 0.85 with a mean of 0.57. Only one of the 28 soil samples taken from
different vineyard fields was found in very suitable (S₁:1.00-0.75)
class, 8 in suitable (S₂:0.75-060), 12 in marginal suitable (S₃:0.60-0.50)
and 7 in non-suitable (N:<0.50) class according to the soil quality index
(SQI). Restricting soil factors for vine growth in the fields classified in S₂
and S₃ classes generally became low pH, low organic matter (OM), P,
Fe, Mn, Cu, Mg and K contents than that of suggested levels. In addition to
restring factors in S₂ and S₃ classes, physical
properties in soils classified in N class were lower than suggested levels. The
SQI values showed significant positive relations with grape yield, soil OM, P,
K, Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn contents and significant negative relations with soil pH,
exch. Ca and CaCO₃ contents. The grape yields had also positive
relations with soil OM, Fe, Mn, Zn contents and negative correlations with soil
pH and CaCO₃ content. Soil quality in a vineyard field should be
assessed to reach successful sustainable and precision agricultural practices
for high crop production.
