A general phenological model for characterising grape vine flowering and véraison

Abstract

The timing of phenology is critical if grape quality potential is to be optimized. Phenological process based models are used to predict phenology. In this study, three different models were tested to predict flowering and veraison of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) using a new extensive phenological database. The Spring Warming model was found optimal in its trade-off between parsimony (number of parameters) and efficiency. The optimal parameter combination found for this model to calculate the degree-days was 0°C for the base temperature and the 60th day of the year for the starting day of accumulation (northern hemisphere). This model was validated at the varietal level, performed better than the classic Spring Warming model with Tb of 10 °C and t0 of 1st January (northern hemisphere) and remains easy to use.

Histoire des Vitis depuis leurs origines possibles sur la Pangée jusqu’aux cépages cultivés : un exemple de résilience liée à la biodiversité des espèces

The first forms of life on earth were bacteria and single-celled blue-green algae. They evolved into land plants around 500 million years ago, developing mechanisms for surviving on land, such as roots, stems and leaves. This evolution also led them to coexist with other organisms, such as insects and animals, for pollination and seed dispersal, as well as to resist environmental factors such as drought and disease.

Protection juridique du terroir viticole en France

The diversity of potential sources of damage to the terroir of an appellation (physical, aesthetic, ecological damage, damage to the image, to collective representation or even, in a broad concept which will not be retained here, to the geographical name identifying the terroir) is accompanied by a fragmentation of the legal sources allowing its protection.

Biotic and abiotic factors affecting physiological aspects underlying vegetative vigour in two commercial grapevine varieties

Grapevine vigour, defined as the propensity to assimilate, store and/or use non-structural sugars for allowing fast growth of shoots and producing large canopies[1], is crucial to optimize vineyard management. Recently, a model has been proposed for predicting the vigor of young grapevines through the measurement of the vegetative growth and physiological parameters, such as water status and gas exchange[2]. Our objectives were (1) to explore the influence of the association of two grapevine varieties (Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, grafted onto R110 rootstocks) with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) on the vegetative vigour of young plants; and (2) to assess the effect of environmental factors linked to climate change on the vegetative vigour of Cabernet Sauvignon.
