Copper reduction strategy for sangiovese in organic viticulture

Abstract

Organic viticulture requires copper based treatments for bunch protection even though an intensive employment is no longer admitted because of its low leaching and phytotoxicity in the soil. UE Reg. 1981/2018 set copper employment to 4 kg/ha for year or 28 during 7 years with an absolute level allowed of 6 Kg/ha although those limits were decreased frequently. In order to reduce copper a valid strategy is to monitor vineyard microclimate (wind, temperature, humidity) implementing DSS to maximize treatments effectiveness. We can also stimulate plant natural defenses by supporting substances (Biostimulants, Inductors, Revitalizing molecules) in order to minimize number of treatments. In the Castello of Gabbiano farm (DOCG Chianti Classico, Italy) during 2019 and 2020, an organic management has been compared with the same organic management but with reduced treatments and adding supporting substances to the grapevine, over 3 vineyards with different exposition and slope. No statistical significance (P>0,05) has been found between the two managements inside each vineyard regarding grapes production and quality. Downy mildew Incidence and severity on leaf and bunch were higher in the low copper employment management only in 2020. Data of copper treatments allowed a calculation of 2.7 kg/ha and 4.3 copper employment for organic and low treatments organic management respectively over the two years, producing grapevine with the same quality but with a copper distribution reduction of 37-40% over different exposition and cultivation situations.

“Compost Application in the Vineyard: Effects on Soil Nutrition and Compaction”

The mechanization of pruning and harvesting in vineyards has increased the risk of soil compaction. To reclaim soil properties or avoid this degradation process, it is crucial to properly manage the soil organic matter, and the application of compost derived from the vines themselves is a strategy to achieve this. The objective of this study was to evaluate the properties of soil treated with different doses of compost applied both on the vine row and the inter rows of a Vitis vinifera crop.

Effects of different soil types and soil management on greenhouse gas emissions 

Soil is important in the carbon cycle and the dynamics of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O). Key soil characteristics, such as organic matter content, texture, structure, pH and microbial activity, play a determining role in GHG emissions[1]. The objective of the study is to delimit different types of soil, with different soil management and to be able to verify the differences in CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions. The study was carried out in a vineyard of Bodegas Campo Viejo in Logroño (La Rioja), whose plant material is Vitis vinifera L. cv. Tempranillo.

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE AROMA PROFILE OF COMMERCIAL PROSECCO SPARKLING WINES

The typicality of a wine, as well as its aromatic identity, are attributes that are highly sought after and requested by the current market. It is therefore of considerable technological interest to investigate the aromatic aspects of specific wines and to identify the odorous substances involved.In this thesis work, the characterization of the aromatic composition of Prosecco wines available on the market with a price range between 7 and 13 euros was carried out. These wines came from three different areas of origin such as Valdobbiadene, Asolo and Treviso.
