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.

REDUCING NITROGEN FERTILIZATION ALTERS PHENOLIC PROFILES OF VITIS VINIFERA L. CV. CABERNET GERNISCHT WINE OF YANTAI, CHINA

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is important for grape growth and the quality of wine. It is essential to address the mismatch between N application and wine composition. Cabernet Gernischt (Vitis vinifera L.), as one of the main wine-grape cultivars in China, was introduced to Yantai wine region in 1892. This grape cultivar is traditionally used for quality dry red wine with fruit, spices aroma, ruby red and full-bodied wines. In order to regulate vine growth and improve grape and wine quality, Cabernet Gernischt grapevines were subjected to decreased levels of N treatments, compared to normal N supply treatment, during grape growing seasons of 2019 and 2020.

The effect of cropload on the volatile aroma characteristics of ‘Beihong’ and ‘Beimei’ red wine

Beihong and Beimei were bred as winemaking cultivars released by Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008. The cultivars are selected from the population of ‘Muscat Hamburg’ (Vitis vinifera) ×V. amurensis. They are extended to most provinces in North of China because they have strong resistance to cold and disease and need not be buried in soil in winter. To better understand the effect of cropload on volatile compounds during wine-making, we surveyed volatiles composition and content of different cropload level in 3-years-old ‘Beihong’ and ‘Beimei’ vines which planted in east foot of Helan mountain of Ningxia (EHN).
