Main viticultural soils in Castilla – La Mancha (Spain)

Context and Purpose of Study. Grapevine Shiraz disease (SD), which is associated with Grapevine Virus A (GVA), is one of the highly destructive diseases affecting Australian and South African vineyards.

French viticulture is currently facing major challenges as it enters the new century: climate change, the need to reduce inputs, societal issues, changing consumer habits, labor shortages …. Vinopôle bordeaux-aquitaine, to which the teams from the chambre d’agriculture de la gironde belong, supports winegrowers of the gironde and bergerac-duras regions in the gradual evolution of their practices.

Significant increases in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to combustion of fossil fuels and intensive land management practices that release CO2 into the atmosphere have resulted in higher air temperatures due to the greenhouse effect.

Climate can greatly affect grape yield and quality (van Leeuwen et al., 2024). Growing suitable cultivars in a given region and or breed environmental resilient cultivars are essential for maintaining viticulture sustainability, particularly in the face of climate change (Wolkovich et al., 2018).

Vine pruning residues constitute a significant fraction of vitivinicultural waste; in fact, depending on the variety and training system, they can reach 1-5 tons/ha/year.
