Assessing macro-elements contents in vine leaves and grape berries of Vitis vinifera using near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – The cultivated vine (Vitis vinifera) is the main species cultivated in the world to make wine. In 2017, the world wine market represents 29 billion euros in exports, and France contributes 8.2 billion (28%) to this trade, making it a traditional market of strategic importance. Viticulture is therefore a key sector of the French agricultural economy. It is in this context that the nutritional diagnosis of the vine is of real strategic interest to winegrowers. Indeed, the fertilization of the vine is a tool for the winegrower that allows him to influence and regulate the quality of the wine. Nowadays, nutrition analysis is made with CHNS analyzer for elemental particles, and mass-spectroscopy for macro and microelements. Such methods are destructive and time consuming, then results could be obsolete for the vine grower. Near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics tools allows to developed models of prediction that can provide accurate information about nutrition status of the vine in the field. In this study, we concentrate on the relative amount of Carbon [C], Hydrogen [H], Nitrogen [N], Sulphur [S] in dry matter (DM) and the C:N ratio.

Material and methods – 252 samples of different organs (leaves blade, leaves petioles, pea sized berries and berries at véraison) of 4 varieties (Muscat, Chasselas, Négrette and Sauvignon blanc) were analyzed. Spectrum were taken on both fresh material and dried ones with a reflectance spectrometer. The spectra were pre-processed using multiple scatter correction (MSC) and 1st and 2nd order Savitsky-Golay derivative (D1 and D2), before developing the cross-validation models using partial least square (PLS) regression and test it on a prediction set.

Results – The coefficient of determination in prediction (r²), the roots mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) and the ratio of performance of prediction (RPD) were obtained for C (0.49, 14.6% of DM and 1.33 on fresh material with MSC, 0.45, 15.4% of DM and 1.26 on dry material with MSC), H (0.56, 1.71% of DM and 1.45 on fresh material with D1, 0.49, 1.88% of DM and 1.32 on dry material with D1), N (0.91, 1.12% of DM, 3.32 on fresh material with raw spectra, 0.95, 0.84% of DM and 4.39 on dry material with MSC), S (0.47, 0.319% of DM and 1.31 on fresh material with MSC, 0.46, 0.322% of DM and 1.30 on dry material with D2) and C:N ratio (0.85, 8.20 and 2.58 on fresh material with raw spectra, 0.87, 7.55 and 2.80 on dry material with D2). Results show that the near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy can be used to assessing the level of nitrogen nutrition in vine and the C:N ratio. All model performance could be improved by increasing the number of samples.

WINE RACKING IN THE WINERY AND THE USE OF INERT GASES: CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION OF THE PROCESS

Atmospheric oxygen (O₂) generates oxidation in wines that affect their physicochemical and sensory evolution. The O₂ uptake in the different winemaking processes is generally considered to be negative for the sensory characteristics of white and rosé wines. Wine racking is a critical point of O₂ uptake, as the large surface area of the wine exposed during this operation and the inability to maintain an effective inert gas blanket over it.
The aim was to study the uptake of O₂ during the racking of a model wine as a reference and to compare with purging the destination tank with different inert gases.

Relation entre les caractéristiques des fromages d’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée et les facteurs de production du lait

Les fromages d’Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée (AOC) représentent un enjeu économique important pour la filière laitière (11 % des fromages produits en France sont des fromages d’AOC, et dans certaines régions de montagne, cette proportion dépasse 50 %). Les spécificités de ces fromages et leurs liaisons avec les caractéristiques du terroir constituent un système complexe où interagissent en particulier la technologie fromagère et les caractéristiques des laits (composition chimique en particulier). Ces dernières dépendent elles-mêmes des caractéristiques des animaux (origine génétique, facteurs physiologiques, état sanitaire) et de leur mode de conduite (alimentation, hygiène, traite…) (fig. 1). L’influence de ces facteurs de production (alimentation et type d’animal en particulier) sur les caractéristiques des fromages est fréquemment mise en avant par les fromagers, sur la base d’observations empiriques. Il existe cependant très peu de travaux expérimentaux sur le sujet, en raison, entre autres, de la difficulté de séparer correctement les effets propres de ces facteurs d’amont de ceux liés à la technologie fromagère.

Monitoring grapevine water status using Landsat 8 images: a two-year case study in a Merlot vineyard

Viticulture needs for spatial and temporal information are increasing to improve vineyard management, especially concerning water efficiency. Remote sensing, particularly from satellites, can be a powerful tool to assess vineyard characteristics such as vigor or water status in space-time. In this study, we use Landsat 8, an American Earth observation satellite with six bands from the visible (VIS) to the Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR) domains with 30m spatial resolution and two thermal bands with 100m spatial resolution.

Effects of Silver Thiosulphate and Salicylic Acid on the long-term maintenance of the embryogenic callus of Vitis vinifera

New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBTs) have the potential to revolutionize the genetic improvement of grapevine. However, the practical application of these techniques is limited by several challenges, such as the difficulty in generating embryogenic calluses, maintaining their competence during in vitro cultivation, and regenerating plants without defects. To overcome these challenges, we conducted a study to test the effect of two treatments on callus cultures derived from different grapevine varieties, with and without embryogenic competence. The tested substances were Silver Thiosulphate (STS) an ethylene inhibitor, and Salicylic Acid (SA), an elicitor with different effects depending on the concentration of use beyond the ethylene inhibitor activity.
