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.

Differential responses of red and white grape cultivars trained to a single trellis system – the VSP

Commercial grape production relies on training grapevine cultivars onto a variety of trellis systems. Training allows for well-lit leaves and clusters, maximizing fruit quality in addition to facilitating cultivation, harvesting, and diseases control. Although grapevines can be trained onto an infinite variety of trellis systems, most red and white cultivars are trained to the standard VSP (Vertical Shoot Positioning) system. However, red and white cultivars respond differently to VSP in fruit composition and growth characteristics, which are yet to be fully understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the influence of the VSP trellis system on fruit composition of three red, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, and three white, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Gewurztraminer cultivars grown under uniform growing conditions in the same vineyard. All cultivars were monitored for maturity and harvested at their physiologically maximum possible sugar concentration to compare various fruit quality attributes such as Brix, pH, TA, malic and tartaric acids, glucose and fructose, potassium, YAN, and phenolic compounds including total anthocyanins, anthocyanin profile, and tannins. A distinct pattern in fruit composition was observed in each cultivar. In regards to growth characteristics, Syrah grew vigorously with the highest cluster weight. Although all cultivars developed pyriform seeds, the seed size and weight varied among all cultivars. Also varied were mesocarp cell viability, brush morphology, and cane structure. This knowledge of the canopy architectural characteristics assessed by the widely employed fruit compositional attributes and growth characteristics will aid the growers in better management of the vines in varied situations.

Use of multispectral satellite for monitoring vine water status in mediterranean areas

The development of new generations of multispectral satellites such as Sentinel-2 opens possibilities as to vine water status assessment (Cohen et al., 2019). Based on a three years field campaign, a model of Stem Water Potential (SWP) estimation on vine using four satellite bands in Red, Red-Edge, NIR and SWIR domains was developed (Laroche-Pinel et al., 2021). The model relies on SWP field measures done using a pressure chamber (Scholander et al., 1965), which is a common, robust and precise method to assess vine water status (Acevedo-Opazo et al., 2008). The model was mainly developed from from SWP measures on Syrah N (Laroche Pinel E., 2021).

A large scale monitoring was organized in different vineyards in the Mediterranean region in 2021. 10 varieties amongst the most represented in this area were monitored (Cabernet sauvignon N, Chardonnay B, Cinsault N, Grenache N, Merlot N, Mourvèdre N, Sauvignon B, Syrah N, Vermentino B, Viognier B). The model was used to produce water status maps from Sentinel-2 images, starting from the beginning of June (fruit set) up to September (harvest). The average estimated SWP for each vine was compared to actual field SWP measures done by wine growers or technicians during usual monitoring of irrigation programs. The correlations between mean estimated SWP and mean measured SWP were at the same level than expected by the model. (Laroche Pinel, 2021) The general SWP kinetics were comparable. The estimated SWP would have led to same irrigation decisions concerning the date of first irrigation in comparison with measured SWP.

Estimating bulk stomatal conductance of grapevine canopies

In response to changes in their environment, grapevines regulate transpiration using various physiological mechanisms that alter conductance of water through the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Expressed as bulk stomatal conductance at the canopy scale, it varies diurnally in response to changes in vapor pressure deficit and net radiation, and over the season to changes in soil water deficits and hydraulic conductivity of both soil and plant. It is necessary to characterize the response of conductance to these variables to better model how vine transpiration also responds to these variables. Furthermore, to be relevant for vineyard-scale modeling, conductance is best characterized using data collected in a vineyard setting. Applying a crop canopy energy flux model developed by Shuttleworth and Wallace, bulk stomatal conductance was estimated using measurements of individual vine sap flow, temperature and humidity within the vine canopy, and estimates of net radiation absorbed by the vine canopy. These measurements were taken on several vines in a non-irrigated vineyard in Bordeaux France, using equipment that did not interfere with ongoing vineyard operations. An inverted Penman-Monteith equation was then used to calculate bulk stomatal conductance on 15-minute intervals from July to mid-September 2020. Time-series plots show significant diurnal variation and seasonal decreases in conductance, with overall values similar to those in the literature. Global sensitivity analysis using non-parametric regression found transpiration flux and vapor pressure deficit to be the most important input variables to the calculation of bulk stomatal conductance, with absorbed net radiation and bulk boundary layer conductance being much less important. Conversely, bulk stomatal conductance was one of the most important inputs when calculating vine transpiration, further emphasizing the need for characterizing its response to environmental changes for use in vineyard water use modeling.

Effect of fertigation strategies to adapt PGI Côtes de Gascogne production to hot vintage

The development of fertigation could be a possible solution to adapt PGI Côtes de Gascogne (south-western France) wine production to climate change. The goal would be to limit the negative effects of water stress on yield performance expectation (around 15 tons per hectare) and to make the use of fertilizers more efficient. This study aimed to compare the effects of three strategies of water and minerals supply on grapes and wines qualities. Two fertigation practices were compared to a rainfed control which is the current standard of the local grape growing production. The fertilizers (nitrogen and potassium) were (i) fully brought by irrigation pipe during the season, (ii) partially brought by irrigation pipe and partially on the soil or (iii) fully brought on the soil at the beginning of the season for the non-irrigated control (local standard). The trial was run on cv. Colombard trained on spur pruned with vertical shoot positioning system on a sandy-silty-clay soil over the 2020 vintage which was particularly hot for the region. Moderate to strong water deficit appeared during the growing period of the berries and held on after veraison. Irrigation strategies allowed for maintaining grapevine without water deficit and being significantly different from the control water status. Grapevine with fully or partial fertigation strategies produced 25% more yield mainly due to the increase of the bunch weight. Also, the fully fertigation showed the best ratio between yield and maturity and brought 30% less of fertilizers (both nitrogen and potassium) than the two other strategies. Finally, the analysis of aromatic compounds in Colombard wines, varietal thiols family, showed the same level of concentrations for the 3 treatments, confirming that the yield performance did not impact the aromatic potential in this trial.
