Analyse et modélisation des transferts thermiques dans un sol de vignoble. Effets des techniques culturales

Abstract

Les facteurs naturels tels que le milieu dans lequel est cultivée la vigne jouent un rôle important sur la qualité du vin. Si on veut élaborer un bon vin, il est en effet essentiel de produire un raisin de qualité. Pour cela, il faut valoriser et optimiser l’effet terroir qui, pour l’instant, joue un rôle qui n’est pas très bien connu. Il est donc indispensable, par exemple, de disposer de relations scientifiquement établies et bien quantifiables pour faire admettre le système des aires d’origines contrôlées. R. Morlat (1989) et G. Seguin (1970) ont déjà réalisé des études sur le rôle de certains facteurs du sol sur la qualité du raisin. Ils ont notamment montré l’importance de la température du sol et du contenu en eau. Les relations entre la qualité et le terroir doivent cependant encore être clarifiées et surtout quantifiées afin d’être intégrées dans un système d’aide à la décision permettant d’optimiser les systèmes de conduite en fonction des facteurs naturels du site étudié.

Nous avons choisi, dans un premier temps, de nous intéresser principalement aux températures du sol. Ce facteur est en effet très important car il conditioime la croissance de la plante et certaines propriétés physiques du sol. La plupart de ces processus ne réagissent pas linéairement avec la température, il est donc indispensable de disposer de nombreuses données pour pouvoir évaluer les effets journaliers des températures du sol sur ces mécanismes. La mesure de la température du sol pose de gros problèmes car elle nécessite un dispositif qui est très lourd au niveau de l’installation, surtout dans les sols de vignoble, généralement hétérogènes. De plus, la mise en place des capteurs perturbe le milieu introduisant ainsi un biais dans les grandeurs qui seront mesurées.

C’est pour ces raisons que nous avons choisi de développer un modèle de transfert thermique applicable aux sols de vignobles. L’utilisation de lois physiques décrivant les échanges et des méthodes d’analyse et de modélisation micrométéorologiques paraissent aptes à apporter des réponses au problème posé par la recherche des facteurs jouant un rôle dans la qualité du raisin. Il en est de même pour l’explication des effets de différentes méthodes culturales (désherbage, travail du sol, enherbement).

Il est bien évident qu’il existe d’autres facteurs influant sur la qualité du raisin qui peuvent aussi caractériser l’effet “terroir”. Par exemple, la nutrition azotée et minérale de la plante joue aussi un rôle important, il est donc nécessaire d’étudier la disponibilité de ces éléments dans le sol, ainsi que leurs modes de transfert. De même, le climat de la région concemée est capital, il influe sur la plupart des grandeurs qui sont étudiées. Ces facteurs sont donc, dans un premier temps, étudiés séparément, l’objectif étant à terme la construction d’un modèle complet de l’élaboration de la qualité du raisin, où sont inclus tous les paramètres du climat, du terroir et du système de conduite.

Les transferts thermiques et hydriques sont étroitement liés, ils interagissent, on peut donc difficilement envisager des émdes séparées de ces deux phénomènes. On peut cependant considérer, du moins dans un premier temps, l’état hydrique comme une variable d’entrée.

Le but de l’étude entreprise est donc de comprendre et de quantifier les effets de différents types ouétats de sols et de différents mode de culture sur l’évolution de la température en profondeur. Pour cela, une bonne connaissance physique des transferts thermiques est nécessaire pour arriver à relier les caractéristiques thermodynamiques du sol à la propagation et au stockage de la chaleur.

Analysis of Cabernet Sauvignon and Aglianico winegrape (V. vinifera L.) responses to different pedo-climatic environments in southern Italy

Water deficit is one of the most important effects of climate change able to affect agricultural sectors. In general, it determines a reduction in biomass production, and for some plants, as in the case of grapevine, it can endorse fruit quality. The monitoring and management of plant water stress in the vineyard

First step in the preparation of a soil map of the Protected Designation of Origin Valdepeñas (Central, Spain)

This work is a first step to make a map of vineyard soils. The characterization of the soils of the Protected Designation of Origin (D.P.O.) Valdepeñas will allow to group the studied profiles according to their physico-chemical characteristics and the concentrations of most relevant chemical elements. 90 soil profiles were analysed throughout the territory and the soils were sampled and described according to FAO (2006) and classified according to and Soil Taxonomy (2014). All samples were air dried, sieved and some physico-chemical parameters were determined following standard protocols. Also, major and trace elements were analysed by X-ray fluorescence. The statistically study was made using the SPSS program. Trend maps were made using the ArcGIS program. The studied soils have the following average properties: pH, 8.3; electrical conductivity, 0,20 dS/m (low); clay, 18.8% (medium) and CaCO3, 17.1% (high). In the study for the major elements. The major elements of these soils are Si, followed by Ca and Al, with an average content of 203.7 g/kg, 105.5 g/kg and 74.0 g/kg respectively. On the other hand, 27 trace elements have been studied. Of all of them, it can be highlighted the average values of Ba (361.8 mg/kg), Sr (129.3 mg/kg), Rb (83.4 mg/kg), V (74.2 mg/kg) and Ce (70.6 mg/kg). Ba, V and Ce values are higher and the values of Sr and Rb are lower to those found in the literature. The discriminant analysis shows a percentage of grouping of 91%. The content of chemical elements together with the physico-chemical characteristics allows grouping the soils in 4 group according to their order in the classification to Soil Taxonomy; due to the importance of the Calcisols in Castilla-La Mancha, it has been decided to establish them as their own group even if they do not appear in Soil Taxonomy classification.

Extreme canopy management for vineyard adaptation to climate change: is it a good idea?

Climate change constitutes an enormous challenge for humankind and for all human activities, viticulture not being an exception. Long-term strategic changes are probably needed the most, but growers also need to deal with short-term changes: summers that are getting progressively warmer, earlier harvest dates and higher pH in musts and wines. In the last 10-15 years, a relevant corpus of research is being developed worldwide in order to evaluate to which extent extreme canopy management operations, aimed at reducing leaf area and, thus, limiting the source to sink ratio, could be useful to delay ripening. Although extreme canopy management can result in relevant delays in harvest dates, longer term studies, as well as detailed analysis of their implications on carbohydrate reserves, bud fertility and future yield are desirable before these practices can be recommended.

How does aromatic composition of red wines, resulting from varieties adapted to climate change, modulate fruity aroma?

One of the major issues for the wine sector is the impact of climate change linked to the increasing temperatures which affects physicochemical parameters of the grape varieties planted in Bordeaux vineyard and consequently, the quality of wine. In some varietals, the attenuation of their fresh fruity character is accompanied by the accentuation of dried-fruit notes [1]. As a new adaptive strategy on climate change, some winegrowers have initiated changes in the Bordeaux blend of vine varieties [2]. This study intends to explore the fruitiness in wines produced from grape varieties adapted to the future climate of Bordeaux. 10 commercial single–varietal wines from 2018 vintage made from the main grape varieties in the Bordeaux region (Cabernet franc, Cabernet-Sauvignon and Merlot) as well as from indigenous grape varieties from the Mediterranean basin, such as Cyprus (Yiannoudin), France (Syrah), Greece (Agiorgitiko and Xinomavro), Portugal (Touriga Nacional) and Spain (Garnacha and Tempranillo), were selected among 19 samples using sensory descriptive analyses. Both sensory and instrumental analyses were coupled, to investigate their fruity aroma expression. For sensory analysis, samples were prepared from wine, using a semi preparative HPLC method which preserves wine aroma and isolates fruity characteristics in 25 specific fractions [3,4]. Fractions of interest with intense fruity aromas were sensorially selected for each wine by a trained panel and mixed with ethanol and microfiltered water to obtain fruity aromatic reconstitutions (FAR) [5]. A free sorting task was applied to categorize FAR according to their similarities or dissimilarities, and different clusters were highlighted. Instrumental analysis of the different FAR and wines demonstrated variations in their molecular composition. Results obtained from sensory and gas chromatography analysis enrich the knowledge of the fruity expression of red wines from “new” grape varieties opening up new perspectives in wine technology, including blending, thus providing new tools for producers.

‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ (Vitis vinifera L.) berry skin flavonol and anthocyanin composition is affected by trellis systems and applied water amounts

Trellis systems are selected in wine grape vineyards to mainly maximize vineyard yield and maintain berry quality. This study was conducted in 2020 and 2021 to evaluate six commonly utilized trellis systems including a vertical shoot positioning (VSP), two relaxed VSPs (VSP60 and VSP80), a single high wire (SH), a high quadrilateral (HQ), and a guyot (GY), combined with three levels of irrigation regimes based on different crop evapotranspiration (ETc) replacements, including a 25% ETc, 50% ETc, and 100% ETc. The results indicated SH yielded the most fruits and accumulated the most total soluble solids (TSS) at harvest in 2020, however, it showed the lowest TSS in the second season. In 2020, SH and HQ showed higher concentrations in most of the anthocyanin derivatives compared to the VSPs. Similar comparisons were noticed in 2021 as well. SH and HQ also accumulated more flavonols in both years compared to other trellis systems. Overall, this study provides information on the efficacy of trellis systems on grapevine yield and berry flavonoid accumulation in a currently warming climate.
