Chemical evaluation of by-products of the grape industry as potential agricultural fertilizers

Journal of Cleaner Production, 2019
The grape industry, specifically the wine industry, is generating by-products rich in nutrients, which are underutilized and often end up being polluters of the environment. These byproducts are the bagasse, the stem and the grape seed in a proportion of
