Contribution of very high resolution satellite remote sensing to the mapping of harvest zones in the Maipo Valley (Chile)

Abstract

[English version below]

Les images de très haute résolution spatiale sont utilisées depuis peu en viticulture comme une aide à la cartographie des zones de vendanges. A partir d’images multispectrales de très haute résolution spatiale IKONOS (résolution 4 m) et SPOT-5 en supermode (résolution 2.5 m), on propose ici une démarche de segmentation d’une région de vignoble en zones de vendanges. Outre les états de la végétation de la vigne, on considère une caractérisation des états de surface du sol. La démarche repose sur une étude diachronique à deux dates sensibles du cycle de la vigne, mars 2001 (IKONOS) et juillet 2002 (SPOT-5). L’étude porte sur 134 ha, comprenant 23 parcelles irriguées de Cabernet-Sauvignon. Les traitements d’images consistent en des masquages, réalisés à partir d’une image infra-rouge couleur, qui isolent tour à tour la végétation de la vigne ou les sols nus. Des classifications ascendantes hiérarchiques conduisent à déterminer 6 classes de végétation de la vigne, ordonnées par niveau de biomasse (et d’activité) chlorophyllienne, et 4 classes de sols nus. Ces résultats montrent que le niveau de biomasse chlorophyllienne de la vigne est spécifiquement associé à certaines classes de sols nus. Les résultats sont discutés en liaison avec des informations viticoles concernant cépage, mode de conduite, orientation des rangs, enherbement, irrigation, âge des ceps, densité de plantation.

Use of very high-resolution images, as a support to demarcating grape harvest zones, is recent in viticulture. Using very high resolution IKONOS (4 m-resolution) and supermode SPOT-5 (2.5 m-resolution) multispectral images, this paper here proposes an approach of segmentating a vineyard region into grape harvest zones. In addition to vine vegetation states, soil surface is characterized. This approach relies on a diachronic study at two significant dates of the vine cycle: March 2001 (IKONOS) and July 2002 (SPOT-5). The study is carried out over 134 ha, comprising 23 Cabernet-Sauvignon irrigated plots. Images are processed by successive maskings carried out on a Infrared Color (IRC) image, which alternately isolate vine vegetation or bare soils. The performing of Ascending Hierarchical Classifications result in defining 6 vine vegetation classes, which are ranked by chlorophyll biomass (and activity) qualitative level, and 4 bare soil classes. These results demonstrate that vine chlorophyll biomass qualitative levels are specifically related to some classes of bare soils. Results are discussed in relationship with viticultural data referring to variety, training system, row orientation, grass cover, irrigation, plant age, planting density.

CIEDE2000 colour difference value as a parameter for tracing the ageing process on wood aged spirits

It is quite common nowadays to carry out analyses which allow to control the ageing of spirits that are aged in wood casks. Many control parameters have been previously studied, such as the concentration of different phenolic compounds or the Total Polyphenol Index, in order to better understand the ageing process of wood aged spirits. On the other hand, it is frequent to analyse as a physical parameter the colour of those spirit samples, by stating them as an array of three coordinates from various colour spaces as CIE L*a*b* or CIE L*C*H*.

Comparison of various storage conditions to preserve polyphenols in red-grape pomace

Red grape pomace, a waste from wine production, can be valorised by extracting polyphenols, high-added value compounds used in cosmetics or oenology. For use at an industrial level, using green extraction techniques, pomace need to be stored before being processed. The aim of this study is to test various storage conditions in order to maintain high level of polyphenols over 180 days, while keeping storage cost economically interesting. In a first step, different storage conditions (ambient temperature or cooled (4°C) temperature, anaerobic (saturation with N2) or aerobic conditions, and addition of sulphur dioxide (SO2)) were compared on small samples (1 kg) packed in plastic pockets. The quality of storage was assessed by following the optical density of the pomace extract at 280 nm (DO 280 expressed as mg/l eq gallic acid), which is an indication of the amount of remaining extractable polyphenols.

Aroma accumulation trends during berry development and selection of grape aroma candidate genes suitable for functional characterization

Grape flavour management in the vineyard requires knowledge of the derivation of individual flavour and aroma characteristics and the effects that different concentrations and interactions between these compounds have on flavour potential.

Preliminary results of the effect of post veraison pre-pruning on grape and wine composition in Tannat and Merlot

The seasonal’s climatic conditions determine the composition of grapes at harvest as they affect the vine’s physiology and development. High temperatures during the grape ripening period cause a high accumulation of sugars and degradation of fruit acidity ,and alter the synthesis of polyphenols. Therefore, some vineyard management can be applied in order to modify grapevine impact on climate variability. One example is the pre-pruning at the beginning of grape ripening, which can delay the ripening period and modify the composition of the grapes at harvest. This work aims to evaluate the pre-pruning field technique on yield components and alcohol content in wines of Tannat and Merlot varieties.

Evaluation of three alternative strategies for the long-term remediation of reductive off-odours in wines

Sulfur-like off-odours are a problem caused by the presence of free forms of volatile sulphur compounds (VSCs). H2S is the most frequently found above its odour threshold
