Copper content and distribution in vineyard soils from Betanzos (A Coruña, Spain)

Abstract: The sustained use of cupric compounds in grape production has contributed to a pronounced Cu accumulation in vineyard soils. We studied 32 surface (0-20 cm) vineyard soil samples from the Atlantic-influenced NW Iberian Peninsula, in order to assess the Cu levels in these soils. The total Cu (CuT) contents were high and variable (between 63-730 mg kg-1), similar to those previously found in the Ribeira Sacra and O Ribeiro denominations of origin, which were until now the areas with the highest CuT concentration… Show more

“…It is probable that the favorable climate of La Rioja means that large quantities of agrochemical products are not required in most cases. Nevertheless, the high concentrations found in certain locations suggest that some areas have been subject to the excessive application of Cu-based formulations, such as organic fertilizers and fungicides, as suggested by other authors [13,20,22,25,28].…”

“…This finding 12indicated a contribution that is mainly geological in origin. The fact that there was a greater quantity at the surface and that high values were found in some localized spots (over 80 mg kg -1 ) could be related to the application of plant protection products with high levels of Cu, as suggested by [13]. As stated previously, Garcia-Navarro et al [1] commented that some vineyard soils require the use of fertilizers due to particular soil characteristics.…”

“…In addition, different management practices (soil plowing, application of background fertilizer, compost, herbicides, or pruning of vines) may alter the edaphic characteristics of vineyard soils and increase Cu and Zn availability and mobility. All this causes environmental issues in other compartments of the ecosystems (e.g., hydrosphere, other soils, crops, and/or biota) [25][26][27].…”

“…As regards Cu, it is an essential micronutrient for human beings and for plant development, but it is toxic when present at high concentrations [ 17 , 18 ]. It is less mobile than As, but high Cu concentrations can alter cell division in some plants, affect microbial activity, microorganism diversity, and soil ecosystem services [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], and cause damage to detritivore populations [ 23 ].…”
