Des enjeux individuels à l’action collective

Abstract

Avec la Fédération des Syndicats Viticoles de l’Anjou et le Syndicat Viticole Angevin pour la vente directe à la Propriété, l’Ecole Supérieure d’Agriculture d’Angers a été amenée à réaliser, en 1995, une enquête auprès des viticulteurs du Maine et Loire, dans la perspective d’un regroupement de l’offre d’une partie des vins destinés à la vente directe (Huet, 1995). Cette activité commerciale est confrontée à l’effet pervers suivant : tous les viticulteurs ne peuvent écouler la totalité de leur production en vente directe si bien qu’ils sont amenés à brader leurs invendus auprès du négoce. Cette part d’invendus de la vente directe n’est pas mise en marché au meilleur prix, elle tire donc à la baisse l’ensemble des prix du bassin de production. La solution envisagée par les responsables professionnels angevins concerne le regroupement de l’offre. Ainsi l’idée est-elle lancée, mais qu’est-il possible de faire, avec qui, et comment ?

Vulnerability of vineyard soils to compaction: the case study of DOC Piave (Veneto region, Italy)

The objective of this work is to study the vulnerability of vineyard soil to compaction.

Foliar application of urea improved the nitrogen composition of Chenin grapes

The nitrogen composition of the grapes directly affects the developments of alcoholic fermentation and influences the final aromatic composition of the wines. The aim of this study was to determine the effect and efficiency of foliar applications of urea on the nitrogen composition of grapes. This study was carried out during 2023 vintage and in the Chenin vineyard located in Estacion Experimental Mendoza (Argentina). Three urea concentrations 3, 6 and 9 Kg N/ha (C1, C2, and C3, respectively) and control (T) were applied in this vineyard at veraison.

To what extent does vine balance actually drive fruit composition?

Context and purpose of the study ‐ Vine balance is a concept describing the relationship between carbon assimilation (usually estimated using a measure of vine vigour, e.g. pruning weight) and its utilisation for fruit production (usually estimated using harvest yield). Manipulating vine balance through leaf area or crop load adjustments affects the proportion of the vine’s total carbohydrate production required to mature the fruit. It is commonly considered that composition of the berry, and resulting wine, is strongly affected by vine balance.

Exploiting somaclonal variability to increase drought stress tolerance in grapevine 

Global warming has enhanced the frequency and severity of drought events, hence calling for a better management of water resources in the vineyard and for an improvement of breeding platforms. Somatic embryogenesis (SE) (i.e. the initiation of embryos from somatic tissues) can spontaneously generate new genetic variability, which results from genetic mutations, changes in epigenetic marks, or phenotypic alterations.
This study was tailored to test whether vines in vitro regenerated through SE (i.e. somaclones), can tolerate water deprivation better than the mother plant.

The Baco Blanc, the Armagnac hybrid variety adapted to the viticultural challenges of tomorrow

Today in the wine industry, a lot of alternatives are available for reducing phytosanitary inputs. Among these, prophylaxis, the use of biocontrol products and the deployment of pathogen-resistant vines are the most promising. eugenol (2-methoxy-4-(2-propenyl)-phenol), a molecule with recognised antifungal properties, can contribute to the last two alternatives. This molecule has been identified as an endogenous compound in the baco blanc hybrid variety used in armagnac pdo, which is at least tolerant to botrytis cinerea.
