Abstract
The goal of foliar fertilization with KNO3 is to obtain efficiency and dominancy of a determined quality criteria in grapes and respectively in wines. This study was carried out to determine the effect of foliar fertilization with different KNO3 doses (control, 1%, 2%, 3%) on quality of white (Colombard) and red (Carignane) wines. Considering the chemical and organoleptical results, it could be concluded that the effects of foliar fertilization with KNO3 on wine quality is significant in the range of 1 % KNO3 for Colombard and 2 % KNO3 for Carignane.
