Valorisation agroviticole de l’effet terroir par l’enherbement des sols

Abstract

Les études développées par l’INRA et l’UV, à Angers, concerne les terroirs viticoles et leur gestion optimisée, tant du point de vue agroviticole qu’oenologique. Les travaux antérieurs (Morlat, 1989) ont permis de donner une dimension scientifique au concept de terroir viticole et ont démontré l’influence considérable de ce facteur de production sur la qualité et la typicité des vins (Asselin et al, 1992). Une méthodologie de caractérisation intégrée des terroirs, s’appuyant sur « l’Unité Naturelle Terroir de Base » (considérée comme la plus petite unité spatiale de territoire utilisable dans la pratique, et dans laquelle la réponse de la vigne est homogène), a été mise au point (Riou et al, 1995).

Les terroirs identifiés et cartographiés selon cette méthode occupent une surface qui varie de quelques hectares à plusieurs centaines d’hectares. Ils peuvent constituer la base d’un zonage pour une région viticole, à partir duquel on peut envisager d’une part, une utilisation rationnelle de l’effet terroir à l’échelle de l’exploitation viticole, et d’autre part une gestion parcellaire des itinéraires techniques.

Regenerative agricultural approaches to improve ecosystem services in Mediterranean vineyards

REVINE is a 3 year European projected funded by PRIMA programme which proposes the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices with an innovative and original perspective, in order to improve the resilience of vineyards to climate change in the Mediterranean area. The potential for innovation lies in developing and combining new approaches that make agriculture more environmentally sustainable and enable a circular economy capable of improving farmers’ incomes. Primarily REVINE aims to improve soil health and biodiversity by promoting the multiplication of soil saprophytic microorganisms and the presence of useful microorganisms linked to the life cycle of the plant, such as rhizobacteria (PGPR) and fungi (PGPF) that promote plant growth which, in addition to increasing plant performance, increase tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses.

Composition and molar mass distribution of different must and wine colloids

A major problem for winemakers is the formation of proteinaceous haze after bottling. Although the exact mechanisms remain unclear, this haze is formed by unfolding and agglomeration of grape proteins, being additionally influenced by numerous further factors.

The use of epifluorescence versus plating to monitor the effect of different parameters on microorganisms in wine

The monitoring of the number of micro-orgranisms in wine is crucial for the wine producer. Traditional counting methods include microscopic enumeration and plating on selective media, which measures the culturability of the cells. The use of epifluorescence microscopy is, however, a method, which can measure both culturability and

Viticultural practices: past, present and future

Practices in viticulture have greatly evolved in the last five decades. There were three objectives: improvement in the quality of the products, reduction in the production costs through mechanization

Advances in phenology modelling of the grapevine

Historical records of grapevine phenology have been collected over decades throughout different winegrowing regions. These records have demonstrated advances in key developmental stages such as budburst, flowering and veraison because of increased temperatures due to climate change.
