The study was conducted to investigate the performance of growth parameters in grapevines on sodic soils under different climatic conditions in Maharashtra. Vines grafted on dog ridge rootstocks were selected from 5 different locations. The grapevines were planted by adapting a spacing of 3.3m × 1.6 m and trained on Y system. Out of five locations two were from Sangli district, two from Solapur district and one (no sodic soil) was from Pune. The highest vegetative growth viz shoot-length (cm), intermodal distance (mm), cane thickness (mm), leaf area (m2) and total chlorophyll contents were recorded with vines growing under Pune locations (no sodic soil, control). While growth at other locations varied as per sodicity of soil. For yield observations, the grape bunches were harvested after attaining harvestable maturity with total soluble solids of 17.50° Brix. The gas exchange parameters except rate of photosynthesis were non-significant at all the location for both years of study. The results obtained on soil nutrients on available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrient in soil were significantly reduced over control. The study showed that the high sodic soil had negative impact on growth, yield, gas exchanges parameters and nutrients status in grapevines.
