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.

Effects of soil water content and environmental conditions on vine water status and gas exchange of Vitis vinifera L. cv. chardonnay

Vine water status has a significant influence on vineyard yield and berry composition (Williams and Matthews, 1990; Williams et al., 1994). It has been hypothesized that the response of plants to soil water deficits may be due to some sort of “root signal” (Davies and Zhang, 1991). This signal probably arises due to the roots sensing a reduction in soil water content or an increase in the mecanical impedance as the soil dries out.

Effect of climate and soil on phenology and ripening of Vitis vinifera cv Touriga acional in the Dão region

“Terroir” has been acknowledged as an important factor in wine quality
and style. It can be defined as an interaction between climate, soil, vine (cultivar, rootstock) and human
factors such as viticultural and enological techniques. Soil and climate are the two components of the “Terroir” with an important role on the vine development and berries ripening. The present study is focused on the effects of the weather conditions and the soil characteristics on the phenological and berries ripening dynamics of the “Touriga Nacional” in Dão region.

Grapevine vegetative multiplication allows the accumulation of spontaneous mutations and increase intra-cultivar genetic diversity that can be exploited to maintain grape wine quality

Oxygen transfer through cork stoppers

During wine conservation in a bottle, the control of oxygen transfer from the outside environment to the wine inside the bottle is a key parameter that determines the wine quality. Many other factors can also influence the evolution of wine during postbottling aging,
