Identification of the agronomical and landscape potentialities in Côtes du Rhône area (France)

Aims: The aims of this study were to (1) detect alterations in the reflectance spectra of vines with fungal diseases, (2) map these alterations, and (3) determine the best wavelengths which may be used as early indicators of fungal diseases in vines.

La conservation de la fertilité du sol est un aspect primordial dans la viticulture durable. Différents paramètres, comme par exemple la topographie, la composition du sol, les conditions climatiques, influencent la fertilité du sol des surfaces viticoes.

Climate change increasingly leads to altered growing conditions in viticulture, such as heat stress, drought or high infection pressure favoring pathogen infection.

In this audio recording of the IVES science meeting 2022, Antonio Morata (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid, Spain) speaks about the use of fumaric acid to control pH and inhibit malolactic fermentation in wines.

According to the vintage, it may be difficult for vine growers to make a decision regarding the type of wine in relation with the soils.
