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.

Key odorants responsible for the sensory spaces defining the different aroma potentials of Grenache and Tempranillo grapes

There are yet many gaps in our knowledge about the aroma potential of winemaking grapes and its measurement. Trying to bring some light into this question, a new general strategy based on the accelerated hydrolysis of reconstituted phenolic and aromatic fractions (PAFs) extracted from grapes has been developed

Service crop effects on grapevine water and nitrogen status and yield under Mediterranean climate

Service crops in vineyard can provide multiple ecosystem services but they can also lead to competition with the grapevine for soil resources in the Mediterranean region due to potential severe droughts (Garcia et al., 2018). One of the levers of action to manage this competition is the choice of species adapted in terms of growth dynamics and water and nutrients’ needs. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of temporary service crops on grapevine water and nitrogen status and grapevine yield and yield components in a Mediterranean vineyard.

Understanding the onset of systemic infection of red blotch virus and phenotypic studies of grapevines expressing a red blotch virus infectious clone

Context and purpose of the study. Red Blotch disease, an affliction caused by the Grapevine red blotch-associated virus (GRBaV), represents a formidable challenge for grape growers and winemakers in prominent viticultural regions around the world.

Microbial stabilization of wines using innovative coiled UV-C reactor process: impact on chemical and organoleptic proprieties

For several years, numerous studies aimed at limiting the use of SO2 in wines (thermal treatments, pulsed electric fields, microwaves …). Processes must be able to preserve the organoleptic qualities of wines with low energy consumption. In this context, ultraviolet radiations (UV-C), at 254 nm, are well known for their germicidal proprieties. In order to inactivate microorganisms in grape juice and wine without affecting the quality of the product, efficiency of UV-C treatment process should be optimized.
