Grapevine rootstocks in K- and Ca-rich volcanic soils: The effect of mineral assemblage on nutrient uptake efficiency by Mario GAETA, Paula Pacheco, Luca Aldega, Maria Luisa Astolfi, Eugenio Giannessi, Cristina Perinelli

“…Rootstock absorption of Ca and Mg mirrors these findings, with lower uptake in pozzolanic soils despite higher total element content. Leaching experiments show that the bioavailability of Ca and Mg obtained in H2O and ammonium acetate is inversely correlated with the uptake efficiency of rootstocks, which is instead positively correlated with the removal of Ca and Mg from the soils. …”
