Soil electrical resistivity measurement: from terroir characterization to within-field crop inputs management

Abstract

Soil Electrical Resistivity measurement is a zoning tool used by soil scientists and agronomists in viticulture. Indeed, the measure enables to optimize pedological surveys (position and number of soil sampling) to obtain a very precise final soil map. Since 2007, Tutiac Winegrowers (Vignerons de Tutiac, Bordeaux) have decided to map all their vineyards (over 4000 hectares) with this technology. Maps are used by the Winery to provide advices more suited to the terroir: grass cover, fertilization, replanting (grape variety/rootstock), grape selection and to define the potentiality of each plot regarding market expectations. However, because of logistic reasons, the Tutiac Winery is not able to use the very high-resolution of the maps for within-field valorization (selective harvest). But, intra-block information of resistivity maps, crossed with complementary measures, can be used in a different way, in particular to cut down use of phytosanitary treatment. This paper presents the GIPI project which plans to vary the rate of crop inputs inside the field. Agronomic (input data, abacus) and technological aspects (software, direct injection sprayer) will be described through an example of a vineyard (25 hectares) where many measurements (resistivity, pedology, NDVI…) have been carried out.

EVIDENCE OF THE INTERACTION OF ULTRASOUND AND ASPERGILLOPEPSINS I ON UNSTABLE GRAPE PROTEINS

Most of the effects of ultrasound (US) result from the collapse of bubbles due to cavitation. The shockwave produced is associated with shear forces, along with high localised temperatures and pressures. However, the high-speed stream, radical species formation, and heat generated during sonication may also affect the stability of some enzymes and proteins, depending on their chemical structure. Recently, Ce-lotti et al. (2021) reported the effects of US on protein stability in wines. To investigate this further, the effect of temperature (40°C and 70°C; 60s), sonication (20 kHz and 100 % amplitude, for 20s and 60s, leading to the same temperatures as above, respectively), in combination with Aspergillopepsins I (AP-I) supplementation (100 μg/L), was studied on unstable protein concentration (TLPs and chitinases) using HPLC with an UV–Vis detector in a TLPs-supplemented model system and in an unstable white wine.

The impact of selected odorant combinations in wine oxidative aroma and their interactive role on the olfactory perception

It is widely known the impact that oxidation has on wine sensory degradation and eventually, in the shortening of its longevity.

Development of a new sustainable filtering media for wine and beer clarification and sterilisation

Different separation techniques are frequently used during vinification process. Nowadays, clarification and microbiological stabilization of wine or beer can be done using precoat filters or crossflow filters to remove yeast and bacteria. Kieselguhr powders are the most used filter aids for precoat filtration. Their crystalline structure and their pulverulent nature induce ecotoxicological risks when used. Moreover, regeneration and reuse of these filter aids is not efficient and the filtration waste requires cost effective retreatment.

Impact of the ‘Pinot’-family on early ripening in cool climate viticulture varieties

‘Pinot Precoce Noir’ (PPN) is an early ripening clone of ‘Pinot Noir’ (PN). The phenological differentiation is visible by an about two weeks earlier onset of veraison. It was found that the early veraison locus Ver1 on chromosome 16, previously identified in ‘Calardis Musqué’, originated from PPN. A highly correlated SSR marker, namely GF16-Ver1, was developed and tested for its ability to molecularly differentiate between PPN and PN as well as its potential to trace individual descendants.
