VIÑAS VIVAS Operational Group: Foliar fertilization and the circular economy to regenerate the health, functioning, and sustainability of Andalusian vineyards

Adapting agricultural systems to the new guidelines of the Common Agricultural Policy entails implementing actions that allow for input reduction, the implementation of the circular economy, and soil conservation. The use of techniques such as foliar fertilizer application allows for the use of these products at lower doses than those required when applied to the soil, as the nutrients are absorbed directly by the leaves.

This project will promote the recovery of various types of organic waste from agriculture, including by-products from viticulture (pruning and winemaking waste) and livestock (low-quality sheep wool), through the development of foliar fertilizers with beneficial effects on vineyards, continuing the experience accumulated by the "Living Soils" operational group for the regeneration and sustainable management of vineyard soils.
