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.

Fast, and full microbiological wine analysis using triple cellular staining.

We propose here a brand new large routine microbiological analysis method intended for oenology, in flow cytometry, using high performance equipment and triple selective cell staining, activated by fluorescence. The results and practical applications of the method are presented: Brettanomyces (Dekkera) Monitoring, fermentations monitoring, bottling and enological practices monitoring.The method allow a complete new microbiological tool for wine industry.The method has been accredited ISO 17025 in our laboratories.

Effect of rootstock and preplant fumigation on plant parasitic nematode development in Washington wine grapes

In Washington State, the majority of winegrape (Vitis vinifera) vineyards are planted to their own roots. This practice is possible due to the lack of established phylloxera populations, and is preferred due to the ease of retraining after damaging winter cold events. However, own-rooted V. vinifera is generally susceptible to most plant parasitic nematodes that attack grape. In Washington State, management of nematodes is dominated by preplant soil fumigation. One practice that may mitigate economic loss due to nematodes is the adoption of nematode-“resistant” rootstocks.
