Déterminisme de l’effet terroir: influence de la surface foliaire primaire de la vigne en début de cycle sur le potentiel vendange

Abstract

ln the Mid-Loire Valley, in France, for the fast twenty years a network of experimental plots has been used to analyse the terroir effect on the behaviour of the Cabernet franc variety of grape. The study of the primary leaf area (SFI) for several vintages shows that it differs greatly from one terroir to another. The SF1 can be characterized by the precocity of its setting in relation with bud-break earliness, and the effective area in place at flowering time. At this stage, differences between precocious and late terroirs can be more then 100%. The further evolution depends on the vigour originated by the terroir, which is main/y related to its water supply capacity. The type of evolution and the consequences on the composition of the berries can be appraised through the kinetics of the SF1 growth during the pre-flowering period. This analysis of a differentiation in the setting of the primary leaf area in relation with the terroir indicates that the construction of quality may begin very soon, at the early stages of the grapevine cycle. A model of physiological pathways of the ripening process is proposed, for the Northern vineyards. lt takes into account the importance of the “precocity” factor during the first part of the cycle, and the “water supply” during the second part.

Novel analytical technologies for wine fingerprinting in and beyond the laboratory

For characterization, sensory designing and authentication rapid analytical technologies have become available. Some, like Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry allow a rapid spectrum of the volatile compounds of wines. Combined with chemometrics wines can be characterized. The same approach can be used to calculate the results of virtual mixtures and allow formulation of constant quality blends. Other new techniques and portable devices based on spectroscopy allow measurements on production sites and in grocery stores, even for the smart consumer. We will present some examples of the application of these techniques for authentication of wines, both in the laboratory and on site.

Use of mathematical modelling and multivariate statistical process control during alcoholic fermentation of red wine

Cyberphysical systems can be seen in the wine industry in the form of precision oenology. Currently, limitations exist with established infrared chemometric models and first principle mathematical models in that they require a high degree of sample preparation, making it inappropriate for use in-line,

Field evaluation of biofungicides to control powdery mildew and botrytis bunch rot of wine grapes in California

Grapevine powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator and Botrytis bunch rot caused by Botrytis cinerea are two of the most important fungal diseases in California grape production.

Handbook of the charter of the universal holistic metaethics  sustainability 4.1c” for certification and warranty bio-métaétique 4.1c

Defined the new paradigm, the applied philosophy, the methodology, the algorithm of the “Charter for Universal Holistic MetaEthic Sustainability 4.1C17.18”, research has continued to define and write, an
handbook that should be:”Complete Universal Holistic MetaEthics 4.1C of descriptors” of the “Charter for Sustainability Universal Holistic MetaEthic 4.1C17.18” with basic and applicative indexing. In these activities and research we have involved over 3500 Italian and non-Italian people from the research world to simple but educated, enlightened and enlightening citizens and we have analyzed over 180000
entries concerning the descriptors above, which represent the basic “descriptors”.

High throughput winter pruning weight estimation based on wood volume evaluation 

There is currently a real need to improve and speed-up phenotyping in experimental set-ups to increase the number of modalities studied. Accurate information acquisition on plant status with high-throughput capacity is the main appeal of on-board systems.
A proximal sensing camera for a proxy of winter pruning weight was tested. We estimated the shoot volume of the vine by image analysis using algorithms that integrate the local shoot section area estimate along the shoot skeleton obtained by a morphological distance transform.
The study was carried out on the GreffAdapt experimental vineyard in Guyot simple training and a canopy management using vertical trellising. The planting density is 6250 vines/ha with a row spacing of 1.6×1m. Five scions grafted onto 55 rootstocks are present and the combination rootstock×scion is different every five plants.
