5 Background Objective There is a lack of information in rgentina about the use of rootstocks for table The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of rootstocks on the leaf grapes. nutrient/element composition of Vitis vinifera cvs. Superior Seedless and Red Globe, respectively. There is some information available on the effect of rootstock such as resistance to soil borne pests and diseases, vigor, production and fruit quality. There is not enough information available regarding interactions between the scion cultivar, the rootstock and the nutrient status of grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) (Ibacache and Sierra 2009, Morales et al 2013). Several studies have shown that rootstocks affects the nutritional status of the scion cultivar (García et al 2001, Ibacache and Sierra 2009, Morales et al 2013)..

6 Materials and Methods Pocito- San Juan- rgentina The trellis system was a Parral (Pergola) (2,5 x 2,5 m) Drip irrigation was applied Clay loam soil The experimental design was a randomized complete block design, with four replicates Experimental unit: Two vines Treatments: Control Cereza Salt Creek 140Ru Mgt SO4 Harmony Freedom

7 Materials and Methods Caucete-San Juan-rgentina The trellis system was a Parral (Pergola) (3 x 3 m) Drip irrigation was applied Sandy loam soil The experimental design was a randomized complete block design, with four replicates Experimental unit: Two vines Treatments: Control Salt Creek 140Ru 1103P Mgt SO4 Harmony Freedom

8 Nutritional Content Whole leaves (leaf blade and petiole) opposite the clusters were collected at veraison stage. The sample contained 80 whole leaves per treatment in each replicate. The total concentrations of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, B, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu were determined for each of the samples and were used as a reference for interpreting optimal and excessive nutritional levels Silva and Rodríguez (1995). ll leaf analysis were done at INT EE San Juan Laboratory. The study was conducted for five consecutive seasons from 2008/09 to 2012/13. Data were analyzed by NOV and the comparison of means were done by the Fisher LSD test, with a significance level of p 0,05.

22 Significance of Study This study demonstrated the effect of rootstocks on the leaf nutrient composition of two table grape scion cultivars. This study showed that merican rootstocks resulted in the lowest scion Na leaf content. Therefore, it could be said that for soil with high sodium content, these particular rootstocks could be used. Cereza rootstock showed the highest levels of Ca and Mg and also exhibited highest production and grape quality (data not presented). Vitis vinifera L., Red Globe and Superior Seedless on Own root and Cereza obtained the lowest B leaf content, which could be potentially of practical value for agro climatic conditions where high B levels are present in both water and soil. Further studies are required to understand the influence of the rootstock on mineral absorption.
