“…Viticulture has been globally recognized for its contribution to the economic, cultural, and social development of rural regions and the formation of their natural environment. However, grapevine growers have to cope with significant emerging problems regarding the factors affecting the grapes' quantity and quality [1], cultivation cost [2], pest management [3], soil degradation [4], soil-borne diseases [5], and adaptation to climate change [5]. Viticulture must address these challenges to become sustainable in the face of climate change and production risks and meet social demand for environmentally friendly cultivation practices.…”

Table grape production in soilless cultivation under a controlled environment is a promising solution that addresses many of the challenges of grapevine cultivation, such as factors affecting the quantity and quality of table grape production, cultivation cost, pest management, soil degradation, soil-borne diseases, and adaptation to climate change. However, due to limited knowledge, investigation of many factors is required to effectively implement soilless cultivation, among which are the substrate’s physical-hydraulic properties and suitability for grape production. In this context, we investigate the impact of the properties of organic (coir dust) and mineral (perlite, pumice) substrates and their blend (perlite:coir) on grapevine growth and grape physicochemical characteristics of Sugraone (Superior Seedless) and Prime cultivars. Perlite substrate was the best in qualitative and quantitative production characteristics, whereas pumice substrate proved unsuitable for soilless vine cultivation. Coir and perlite:coir substrates, due to their increased ability to retain moisture, improved plant nutrition and grape quality but delayed ripening. For effective soilless cultivation of grapevines and table grape production, substrates must have the ability to maintain sufficient but not excessive moisture, suitable for supporting physiological processes and plant nutrition, resulting in smooth growth and production.
