Assessment of the optimal number of observations in the study of vineyard soil (Rigosol)

Abstract

A study of soil pH on the experimental field resulted in a high variability of pH on a very small scale. This kind of heterogenity in soil pH have effects on growth of two grapevine varieties on rootstock Kober 5BB: Riesling and Pinot Noir A number of 104 soil samples were taken from an area of 1.43 ha from two depths. A goal of this experiment was to find the optimum number of samples for pH studies, and to implement the obtained results in further investigation on experimental fields. Therefore, in this paper we compared diferent deterministic interpolation techniques: inverse distance weight, splines and local polynomial interpolation, on the results of soil pH. Root mean square error (RMSE) statistitics obtained after cross validation procedure was used for the choice of appropriate exponent value for IDW, spline and local interpolation. The obtained interpolation parameters were used for mapping the field and the most accurate technique was IDW, which was further used in creation of pH maps with lower number of samples: 54, 34, 29, 24, 19 and only 14 pH samples. Maps were classified and compared by means of percentage difference in area among classes of pH in respect to classes obtained after maximum sampling. The results indicated that the criteria of 15% of change in pH area over classes could be satisfied with only on third of the samples. An obtained results will be used for further sampling of the whole experimental area.

Flavor Enhancement Of Neutral White Wines By Mango Peel Products

Varietal flavor is commonly known as the aromatic character of a wine in which the aroma of a particular grape variety predominates. However, not all varieties present particularly pronounced aromas. Therefore, different methods are constantly sought to enhance the aroma of wines with neutral aromatic characteristics, such as the use of glycosidases (1), certain yeast strains (2) or maceration with different agricultural products. In this work, aiming to improve the sensory profile together with the diversification of this product, white wines, derived from a neutral grape variety, were elaborated with the addition of mango peel by-products.

Determination of aromatic characteristics from Syrah and Tempranillo tropical wines elaborated in Northeast Brazil

Dans la region Nord-Est du Brésil, située à la Vallée du São Francisco, localiséee entre les paralleles 8-9º HS, la production de vins tropicaux a commencé il y a une vigntaine d’années. Dans cette région, il est possible d’avoir au minimum deux récoltes par an, car la moyenne de température est de 26 ºC, avec une pluviosité moyenne de 550 mm entre les mois de janvier-avril.

Use of the stics crop model as a tool to inform vineyard zonages

STICS est un modèle de culture développé à l’INRA (France) depuis 1996. Il simule les bilans de carbone, d’eau et d’azote dans le système culture-sol, piloté par des données climatiques journaliéres. Il calcule à la fois des variables agricoles (rendement en quantité et qualité) et environnementales (pertes en eau et en azote). Une des originalités de STICS est son adaptabilité à de nombreuses cultures (herbacées, ligneuses, annuelles, pérennes) rendue possible par le choix de paramètres génériques et d’options de formalismes. Le travail présenté traite, dans un premier temps, des spécificités de STICS pour la vigne en terme de bilan trophique, de fonctionnement énergétique et hydrique et d’estimation des teneurs en sucre en en eau du raisin. Nous montrons ensuite diverses sorties du modèle qui permettent de caractériser des terroirs du vignoble des Côtes du Rhône.
