La haie bocagère comme critère de zonage à l’échelle parcellaire

Abstract

Dans les AOC Française, la zone de production de la matière première peut faire l’objet d’une délimitation parcellaire basée sur des critères de milieu physique et d’usage D’autre part de nombreux zonages environnementaux se développent et les AOC sont appelées à intégrer des dispositions relatives à ces préoccupations. Les haies, à travers leurs effets sur les modifications locales du climat régional et sur la biodiversité fonctionnelle, peuvent impacter le fonctionnement de la vigne et des vergers. C’est à ce titre que leur prise en compte comme critère de délimitation est envisagé.
L’examen des effets de la haie sur le climat parcellaire montre qu’au sein d’une parcelle bocagère, on assiste globalement à une réduction de la vitesse du vent et du pouvoir évaporant de l’air, à une augmentation de la température moyenne, de l’amplitude thermique journalière par élévation des températures diurnes et diminution températures nocturnes et à un risque accru des gelées printanières.
Le rôle de la haie sur la biodiversité fonctionnelle est décrit à travers une liste d’auxiliaires entomophages et pollinisateurs auxquels elle fournie des abris pour l’hivernage et la reproduction ainsi que des ressources vitales grâce aux proies et aux fleurs qu’elle abrite en dehors des périodes végétatives de la vigne ou du verger, comme par exemple le pollen et nectar offerts aux espèces dont seules les larves sont zoophages.
Un exemple d’intégration de la présence des haies dans la méthode de zonage des terroirs viticoles développé par l’Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA) d’Angers est cité ainsi qu’une première application à la délimitation parcellaire d’une AOC cidricole de l’ouest de la France. Mais la perspective de l’élargissement du recours à présence de haies dans les opérations de zonage nécessitera de nombreux travaux préalables. Par exemple, les distances aux haies et leur hauteur devront être précisées en fonction des caractéristiques climatiques locales et par rapport aux distances parcourables par les auxiliaires recherchés. De manière générale, si la haie fait son entrée dans le zonage des terroirs, elle sera plutôt intégrée comme un principe de délimitation dont découleront des critères spécifiques en fonction des situations.

English version: In french AOC, basic products can be localized on a field basis according to natural and human criteria. Besides, many environmental zoning are developped. Thus AOC must nowadays take this concern into account. This paper deals with edges as a new zoning criterium. Edges have two main impacts on vine and orchard productions: that is local climate and functionnal biodiversity changes.
Climatic changes mainly rely on wind speed and evaporation decrease and an increase in temperature, temperature range and risk of spring frost. Edges impacts on functionnal biodiversity are largely described through a list of entomophages and pollinisators that benefit from winter and reprodcution shelter and food reserve. Preys and flowers may develop in edges even when the crop not in vegetative stage yet. Pollen and nectar feed adults insects whose larvae is zoophagus. This paper also relates two french experience of edges integration in the terroir definition: one for vine in the Loire Valley and one ifor cider in the west of France.
Further work will be needed to enlarge AOC zoning with this environmental criterium such as the distance between edge and crop, local climatic change characteristics, specific auxilliary insects and vegetative species etc.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Modulation of berry composition by different vineyard management practices

High concentration of sugars in grapes and alcohol in wines is one of the consequences of climate change on viticulture production in several wine-growing regions. In order to investigate the possibilities of adaptation of vineyard management practices aimed to reduce the accumulation of sugar during the maturation phase without reducing the accumulation of anthocyanins in grapes, a study with severe shoot trimming, shoot thinning, cluster thinning and date of harvest was conducted on Merlot variety in Istria region (Croatia), under the Mediterranean climate. Four factors which may affect grape maturation and its composition at harvest were investigated in a two-years experiment; severe shoot trimming applied at veraison when >80% of berries changed colour (in comparison to untreated control), shoot thinning (0 and 30%), cluster thinning (0 and 30%), and the date of harvest (early and standard harvest dates). Shoot thinning had no significant impact on berry composition, despite the obtained reduction in yield per vine. Lower Brix in grapes were obtained with earlier harvest date and if no cluster thinning was applied, although at the same time a reduction in the concentration of anthocyanins in berries was observed in these treatments. On the other hand, if severe shoot trimming was applied when >80% of berries changed colour, a reduction of Brix was obtained without a negative impact on berry anthocyanins concentration. We conclude that in cases when undesirably high sugar concentrations at harvest are expected, severe shoot trimming at 80% veraison may effectively be used in order to obtain moderate sugar concentration in berries together with the adequate phenolic composition.

Hexose efflux from the peeled grape berry

After the onset of grape berry ripening, phloem unloading follows an apoplasmic route into the mesocarp tissue. In the apoplast, most of the unloaded sucrose is cleaved by cell wall invertases

Impact of moderate water deficit on grape quality potential on Pinot Noir in Champagne (France)

Environmental factors like soil and climate influence grape quality potential. Their impact is often mediated through vine water and nitrogen status. Depending on the color of the grapes (red or white) and the type of wine produced, the desired level of vine water and nitrogen status for optimum wine quality is different. Little investigation has been carried out concerning these factors and their potential influence on sparkling wine quality on two vintages. In this study vine water and nitrogen status were assessed at a very high density and related to grape composition and berry weight. Through statistical analyses, the major factors driving grape quality potential on Pinot noir in Champagne were highlighted.
