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.

Radiation-associated effects on regulated deficit irrigation management in grapevine cv. Cabernet Sauvignon

The main challenge of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) research is to isolate the factors that come with RDI, the direct effect of plant water status from the indirect ones like increased radiation and temperature changes on the cluster zone. This study aims to isolate the effects of vine water status from the effects of increased radiation on the phenolic composition of grapes subjected to RDI.
A three-year study on an RDI experiment where radiation was controlled was implemented in a commercial vineyard of Cabernet Sauvignon in Chile. Four RDI treatments based on partial evapotranspiration (ET) irrigation were established. Irrigation treatments were 100% ET, 70% ET, 50-100% ET (50% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward), and 35-100% ET (35% ET before veraison and 100% ET afterward).

Water status, nitrogen status and leaf area/ crop ratio effect on aromatic potential of vitis viniferaberries : example of Sauvignon blanc

Les effets de l’état hydrique et de l’alimentation en azote sur le potentiel aromatique des raisins de Sauvignon blanc ont été mesurés sur des vignobles du Bordelais. Les déficits hydriques ont été caractérisés par le potentiel tige déterminé en milieu de journée ΨTmin)­. L’alimentation en azote a été étudiée à partir d’une zone carencée en azote. Une part de cette zone a été supplémentée avec de l’azote minéral.
