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.

The rootstock, the neglected player in the scion transpiration even during the night

Water is the main limiting factor for yield in viticulture. Improving drought adaptation in viticulture will be an increasingly important issue under climate change. Genetic variability of water deficit responses in grapevine partly results from the rootstocks, making them an attractive and relevant mean to achieve adaptation without changing the scion genotype. The objective of this work was to characterize the rootstock effect on the diurnal regulation of scion transpiration. A large panel of 55 commercial genotypes were grafted onto Cabernet Sauvignon. Three biological repetitions per genotype were analyzed. Potted plants were phenotyped on a greenhouse balance platform capable of assessing real-time water use and maintaining a targeted water deficit intensity. After a 10 days well-watered baseline period, an increasing water deficit was applied for 10 days, followed by a stable water deficit stress for 7 days. Pruning weight, root and aerial dry weight and transpiration were recorded and the experiment was repeated during two years. Transpiration efficiency (ratio between aerial biomass and transpiration) was calculated and δ13C was measured in leaves for the baseline and stable water deficit periods. A large genetic variability was observed within the panel. The rootstock had a significant impact on nocturnal transpiration which was also strongly and positively correlated with maximum daytime transpiration. The correlations with growth and water use efficiency related traits will be discussed. Transpiration data were also related with VPD and soil water content demonstrating the influence of environmental conditions on transpiration. These results highlighted the role of the rootstock in modulating water deficit responses and give insights for rootstock breeding programs aimed at identifying drought tolerant rootstocks. It was also helpful to better define the mechanisms on which the drought tolerance in grapevine rootstocks is based on.

Impact of geographical location on the phenolic profile of minority varieties grown in Spain. II: red grapevines

Because terroir and cultivar are drivers of wine quality, is essential to investigate theirs effects on polyphenolic profile before promoting the implantation of a red minority variety in a specific area. This work, included in MINORVIN project, focuses in the polyphenolic profile of 7 red grapevines minority varieties of Vitis vinifera L. (Morate, Sanguina, Santafe, Terriza Tinta Jeromo Tortozona Tinta) and Tempranillo) from six typical viticulture Spanish areas: Aragón (A1), Cataluña (A2), Castilla la Mancha (A3), Castilla –León (A4), Madrid (A5) and Navarra (A6) of 2020 season. Polyphenolic substances were extracted from grapes. 35 compounds were identified and quantified (mg subtance/kg fresh berry) by HPLC and grouped in anthocyanins (ANT) flavanols (FLAVA), flavonols (FLAVO), hydroxycinnamic (AH), benzoic (BA) acids and stilbenes (ST). Antioxidant activity (AA, mmol TE /g fresh berry) was determined by DPPH method. The results were submitted to a two-way ANOVA to investigate the influence of variety, area and their interaction for each polyphenolic family and cluster analysis was used to construct hierarchical dendrograms, searching the natural groupings among the samples. Sanguina (A3) had the most of total polyphenols while Tempranillo (A5) those of ANT. Sanguina (A2) and (A3) reached the highest values of FLAVO, FLAVA and AA. These two last samples had also the maximum of AA. The effect cultivar and area were significant for all polyphenolic families analyzed. A high variability due to variety (>50%) was observed in FLAVA and the maximum value of variability due to growing area was detected in AA (86.41%), ANT and FLAVO (51%); the interaction variety*zone was significant only for ANT, FLAVO, EST and AA. Finally, dendrograms presented five cluster: i) Sanguina (A2); ii) Sanguina (A3); iii) Tempranillo (A5); iv) Tempranillo (A3); Terriza (A3,A5), Morate (A5,A6); v) Santafé (A1,A6); Tortozona tinta (A1,A3,A6); Tinta Jeromo (A3,A4).

Variations of soil attributes in vineyards influence their reflectance spectra

Knowledge on the reflectance spectrum of soil is potentially useful since it carries information on soil chemical composition that can be used to the planning of agricultural practices. If compared with analytical methods such as conventional chemical analysis, reflectance measurement provides non-destructive, economic, near real-time data. This paper reports results from reflectance measurements performed by spectroradiometry on soils from two vineyards in south Brazil. The vineyards are close to each other, are on different geological formations, but were subjected to the same management. The objective was to detect spectral differences between the two areas, correlating these differences to variations in their chemical composition, to assess the technique’s potential to predict soil attributes from reflectance data.To that end, soil samples were collected from ten selected vine parcels. Chemical analysis yield data on concentration of twenty-one soil attributes, and spectroradiometry was performed on samples. Chemical differences significant to a 95% confidence level between the two studied areas were found for six soil attributes, and the average reflectance spectra were separated by this same level along most of the observed spectral domain. Correlations between soil reflectance and concentrations of soil attributes were looked for, and for ten soil traits it was possible to define wavelength domains were reflectance and concentrations are correlated to confidence levels from 95% to 99%. Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) analyses were performed comparing measured and predicted concentrations, and for fifteen out of 21 soil traits we found Pearson correlation coefficients r > 0.8. These preliminary results, which have to be validated, suggest that variations of concentration in the investigated soil attributes induce differences in reflectance that can be detected by spectroradiometry. Applications of these observations include the assessment of the chemical content of soils by spectroradiometry as a fast, low-cost alternative to chemical analytical methods.

Leaf vine content in nutrients and trace elements in La Mancha (Spain) soils: influence of the rootstock

The use of rootstock of American origin has been the classic method of fighting against Phylloxera for more than 100 years. For this reason, it is interesting to establish if different rootstock modifies nutrient composition as well as trace elements content that could be important for determining the traceability of the vine products. A survey of four classic rootstocks (110-Richter, SO4, FERCAL and 1103-Paulsen) and four new ones (M1, M2, M3 and M4) provided by Agromillora Iberia. S.L.U., all of them grafted with the Tempranillo variety, has been carried out during 2019. The eight rootstocks were planted in pots of 500 cc, on three soils with very different characteristics from Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). In the month of July, the leaves were collected and dried in a forced air oven for seven days at 40ºC. Then, the samples were prepared for the analysis determination, carried out by X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry. The results obtained showed that in the case of content in mineral elements in leaf, separated by soil type, we can report the importance of few elements such as Si, Fe, Pb and, especially, Sr. The rootstock does not influence the composition of the vine leaf for the studied elements that are the most important in determining the geochemical footprint of the soil. The influence of the soil can be discriminated according to some elements such as Fe, Pb, Si and, especially, Sr.
