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.

Sélection génétique des variétés originelles d’Arménie, berceau de la viticulture mondiale

Armenia, a small country in the South of the Caucasus, has been rediscovering its wine-growing past since the discovery in 2007 of archaeological wine-growing remains dating back around 8,000 years. They are among the oldest in the world. Despite a great diversity of grape varieties, Armenian winegrowers did not have sufficiently organized genetic collections to produce plants and satisfy the growing demand for planting.

Evaluation of a biological foliar fertilization system, in the production, agronomic and quality characteristics of three wine grape varieties

Evaluation of the fertility management practices in wine grape varieties production. Wine grape represents one of the most important productions in Greece with major impact to the socioeconomic characteristics of the country. The objective of this study is to evaluate, with the support of Geospatial Technologies, the potential effects of an innovative foliar fertilizer system, which is composed of three parts: a mineral fertilizer in a micronized formulation, a biostimulant as an enhancing factor of the process and, an amino acid compound (SANOVITA concept). The study was established at a collaborative, private vineyard, in the area of Trilofos-Thessaloniki, at the region of Northern Greece.

Grape solids: new advances on the understanding of their role in enological alcoholic fermentation

Residual grape solids (suspended particles) in white and rosé musts vary depending on the clarification pro-cess. These suspended solids contain lipids (more especially phytosterols) that are essential for yeast meta-bolism and viability during fermentation in anaerobic conditions.
