Use of the stics crop model as a tool to inform vineyard zonages

Abstract

[English version below]

STICS est un modèle de culture développé à l’INRA (France) depuis 1996. Il simule les bilans de carbone, d’eau et d’azote dans le système culture-sol, piloté par des données climatiques journaliéres. Il calcule à la fois des variables agricoles (rendement en quantité et qualité) et environnementales (pertes en eau et en azote). Une des originalités de STICS est son adaptabilité à de nombreuses cultures (herbacées, ligneuses, annuelles, pérennes) rendue possible par le choix de paramètres génériques et d’options de formalismes. Le travail présenté traite, dans un premier temps, des spécificités de STICS pour la vigne en terme de bilan trophique, de fonctionnement énergétique et hydrique et d’estimation des teneurs en sucre en en eau du raisin. Nous montrons ensuite diverses sorties du modèle qui permettent de caractériser des terroirs du vignoble des Côtes du Rhône.

STICS is a crop model developed at INRA (France) since 1996. It simulates the carbon, water and nitrogen balances of the crop-soil system driven by daily climatic data. It calculates both agricultural variables (yield in terms of quantity and quality) and environmental variables (water and nitrogen losses). One of the key elements of STICS is its adaptability to various crops (herbaceous, ligneous, annuals, perennials) made possible by the choice of generic parameters and options for both crop physiology and crop techniques. The present work deals first with the particularity of STICS to simulate vineyard in terms of trophic balance, energetic and water functioning and assessment of sugar and water contents of grape. Second it shows the various outputs which can be calculated by the model in order to characterize typical Côtes du Rhône zones.

A browser application for comprehensive 3-dimensional LC × LC × IM – MS data analysis to study grape and wine polyphenols

The analysis of structurally diverse proanthocyanidins in grapes and wine is challenging. Comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography (LC×LC) and ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry (IMS-MS) are increasingly used to address the challenges associated with the analysis of highly complex samples such as wine and grapes

Hyperspectral imaging and machine learning for monitoring grapevine physiology

Rootstocks are gaining importance in viticulture as a strategy to combat abiotic challenges, as well as enhancing scion physiology and attributes. Therefore, understanding how the rootstock affects photosynthesis is insightful for genetic improvement of either genotype in the grafted grapevines. Photosynthetic parameters such as maximum rate of carboxylation of RuBP (Vcmax) and the maximum rate of electron transport driving RuBP regeneration (Jmax) have been identified as ideal targets for breeding and genetic studies. However, techniques used to directly measure these photosynthetic parameters are limited to the single leaf level and are time-consuming measurements.

Tracing glycosidically-bound smoke taint markers from grape to wine

The increasing frequency of wildfires on the West Coast of the USA is seen as a significant risk for the grape and wine industry. Research has shown that perceived smoke impact in wines correlates with increases in volatile phenols (VPs) in grapes exposed to fresh smoke.

Impact of Metschnikowia pulcherrima and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in mixed fermentation on volatile compounds and energy sustainability in Lugana wine

In recent years, heightened awareness of the environmental impact has led to sustainability as a key issue for the winemaking sector.
