Spatial characterization of land use in the viticultural Maipo Valley (Chile), using aster image digital processing

Abstract

[English version below]

L’entreprise viticole Concha y Toro S.A. gère environ 600 ha de vignes dans la Vallée du Maipo (A.O. Valle del Maipo). L’objectif est celui de caractériser spatialement ces vignobles et leur occupation du sol environnante. Le choix s’est porté vers la démarche de zonage viticole par l’analyse spatiale, utilisant des traitements d’images satellitaires afin d’avoir une vision synoptique de la zone à moindres coûts et délais. Un système d’informations géographiques (SIG) est construit à partir des données suivantes : cartes topographiques, géologique, fond cadastral numérique, images satellitaires. Un modèle numérique de terrain est par ailleurs construit à une résolution de 25 m à partir des cartes topographiques. Deux images Aster (résolution de 15 m) prises au mois d’octobre 2000 et janvier 2001 ont été choisies. Une cartographie de l’occupation du sol a été effectuée sur l’image satellitaire de janvier nous permettant par ailleurs d’actualiser les cartes topographiques datant de 1974, en raison notamment de l’expansion urbaine de la ville de Santiago en périphérie des vignes. Par ailleurs, l’étude diachronique mise en œuvre conduit à analyser les comportements spectraux des vignes et des sols et leur évolution spectrale entre les deux dates retenues.

Concha y Toro S.A. wine enterprise controls about 600 hectares of vineyards in the Maipo Valley (A.O. Valle del Maipo). Our purpose is to carry out a spatial characterization of vineyards and their surrounding land use, based on spatial analysis and using satellite image processing which enables to get a broad synoptic vision of the area at low cost. A geographic information system (GIS) is built with the following data: topographic maps, geological maps, digital cadastral database and satellite images. A digital elevation model (DEM) is made from the topographic maps at a 25 meters-resolution. Two high resolutions Aster images (15 meters) captured in October 2000 and January 2001 were chosen. Land use is spatially characterized using the January image. It enables us to update the land use cover extracted from the topographic maps and dating 1974, especially because of the urban sprawl of the city of Santiago amongst vines. More, the image diachronic study leads to analyze the spectral behavior of vine and soil and its evolution from January to February 2001.

AN AUTOMATIC CANOPY COOLING SYSTEM TO COPE WITH THE THERMAL-RADIATIVE STRESSES IN THE PIGNOLETTO WHITE GRAPE

In recent years characterized by hot dry summers, the implementation of innovative irrigation tools in the vineyard represents a crucial challenge to ensure optimal production and to avoid excess of water consumption. It is known that the grapevine reacts to multiple stresses – i.e., high temperatures and wa- ter shortage – through adaptive mechanisms that are detrimental to the yield. Furthermore, this condi- tion is usually aggravated by high solar radiation, which could negatively affect the phenolic composi- tion of the grapes. Therefore, a cooling system has been developed aiming to reduce bunches’ sunburn damage.

Proposal of a procedure for sensory characterisation of wines from different subareas of a same D.O.C. (V.Q.P.R.D.)

In the course of the present work, which is the first part of a study on the “characterization of Barbera dell’Oltrepo Pavese D.O.C.” 30 wines Barbera from 1993 vintage have been compared only regarding their sensory characteristics. An unstructured scale card, composed by 15 descriptors have been used.

At long term, qualitative irrigation seems to be the most systematic, if not the best, cultural practice for dealing with climate change and yield increases without decrease grape quality.
