Comportement phénologique et végétatif de la cv “Italia” en rapport an climat dans les deux zones typiques de viticulture de table en Sicile

Abstract

Le travail a le but de contribuer à faire connaître l’influence du milieu, en particulier le climat, sur l’expression génétique de la variété Italia en Sicile.
L’etude a étè effectué durant six années, du 1992 au 1997, à Canicattì et à Mazzarrone, les deux zones de viticulture de table sicilienne. Ont été choisis endroits différents pour altitude, distance de la mer, caractéristiques de sol e de climat, cinq à Canicattì et quatre à Mazzarrone.
Pendant toutes les années le mileu des vignobles de Mazzarrone a montré la caractéristique d’avoir hivers plus doux à comparaison du milieu de Canicattì. Le débourrement a été toujours plus tardif à Canicattì. Dans tous les vignobles la précocité de débourrement est suivie par la précocité de floraison et de maturation. Dans tous les ans la maturation a été plus tardive à Canicattì à comparaison de Mazzarrone. Il y a corrélation entré l’époque de débourrement et le date de maturation. Le cycle végétatif a la même durée dans les deux zones (à peu près 141 jours). Les corrélations entre les paramètres climatiques et les phases végétatives ont démontré un effet significatif de la température du sol. La température du sol est corrélée à la température maximale de l’air. On a eu niveaux plus élevés de fertilité des bourgeons et poids moyen de la baie plus bas à Canicattì. Dans les deux zones le poids moyen plus bas de la baie a été relevé dans les milieux plus précoces.

Unconventional methods to delve deeper into the influence of temperature and nutrition on Chardonnay wine profiles

Temperature and yeast nutrition profoundly impact wine quality and sensory attributes by modulating yeast aroma production and release during fermentation. While temperature and nitrogen’s individual effects are well-studied, their combined influence, including nutrient type and addition timing, remains underexplored. hence, this study aimed to investigate the simultaneous effects of these factors on fermentation kinetics, aroma production and sensory profile, particularly in a Chardonnay wine production selected as a quite aromatically neutral base.

Wine aging : a bottleneck Story ?

The sporadic oxidation of white wines remains an open question, making wine shelf life a subjective debate. Through a multidisciplinary synoptic approach performed as a remarkable case study on aged bottles of white wine, this work unraveled a yet unexplored route for uncontrolled oxidation.

Survey reveals training needs for airblast sprayer operators

In California, little training in sprayer calibration or pesticide drift management is required to apply pesticides. Yet, there is a need to maximize pesticide efficacy and minimize drift. Therefore, our team is developing a training course on airblast application best practices. We distributed a survey to identify current practices and used importance-performance analysis to interpret responses to the importance of spray related topics and satisfaction with previous training.

Subsurface irrigation: a means to reduce chemical and water inputs in vineyards

Grape growers around the world are seeking to reduce their reliance on herbicides. However, traditional alternatives to chemical weed control do not always integrate seamlessly into established vineyard operations. Employing nonchemical weed management often requires trellis alterations, purchasing or hiring new equipment, and depending on region, may significantly increase tractor passes required to reach desired level of weed control. Critical thinking and thoughtful strategies are necessary to minimize expenditures and maintain quality during the transition away from herbicides. In this trial, irrigation was installed underground in an effort to minimize water loss due to evaporation, better direct the water to the vines, and reduce weed growth in the difficult to control undervine area.

Post-plant nematicide timing for northern root-knot nematode in Washington wine grapes

Vigor declines in older vineyards and poor vine establishment in replant situations have been attributed to plant-parasitic nematodes. The northern root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, is the most prevalent plant-parasitic nematode species found in Washington wine grape vineyards. Management for nematodes in established vineyards is limited to the application of post-plant nematicides. We are evaluating new nematicides that are currently not registered in grape for their efficacy in controlling M. hapla and a part of that evaluation includes improving the alignment of nematicide application timing with the vulnerable second-stage juvenile (J2) life stage of M. hapla.
