Il ruolo dei comuni nella gestione del territorio e nella tutela dei vitigni autoctoni di qualita’

Developing a sustainable agricultural production system and acquiring the full potential of land resources requires employing land-use assessment. This entails knowledge of the climate, soil, and topography of the area of interest.

Aim: The aim of this work is educating people about soil variability, vine rootzone depth and readily available water holding capacity. The concept of terroir is readily discussed in the wine industry but many people involved are unable to describe a soil profile and interpret its limitations that impact on vine growth, fruit quality and wine produced. This paper discusses soil physical characteristics important to vine root growth and readily available water holding capacity (RAW).

Aerial architecture plays a key role in plant functioning as it affects light interception and microclimate. In grapevine, this architecture is primarily shaped by winter pruning and further adjusted through practices such as leaf thinning and topping during the growth cycle.

Context and purpose of the study. Epidermal Patterning Factors are a family of small peptides that are highly conserved in the plant kingdom and are involved in several physiological and developmental processes.

The dynamic changes of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) in grapevines during the growing season is driven by phenological events and environmental factors.
