Agronomic and qualitative behaviour of cv. Tempranillo according to three vine spacing on two different hydric-edaphic situations in the Duero river valley

Abstract

The knowledge of the influence of soil conditions on the effects that different plant densities provoke in the agronomic grapevine behaviour becomes very interesting since it allows to focus the vineyard management on the optimization of the natural, hydric and human resources.
This work is focused on the study of the vegetative, productive and qualitative behaviour of Tempranillo variety distributed with three different distances between vines (1.2, 1.5 and 1.8 m) and a common distance between rows (3.0 m) along the period 2005-2007, in two different growing conditions, moderated deficit irrigation and non irrigation. The final objective is to know the more adequate plant density under each particular growing conditions. The experimental trials have been located in the A.O. Rueda, along the Duero river valley, in the province of Valladolid (Spain).
The different vine spacing treatments have shown some differences in pruning weight, vigour of shoot, yield per hectare and cluster weight in both hydric-edaphic situations, being these differences more remarkable in the non irrigation conditions. The differences between treatments in fertility and berry weight have been fewer. The grape quality has hardly shown any difference between treatments in both growing situations.
These results suggest the convenience of different vineyard management depending on the particular growing conditions, being of doubtful effectiveness the increase of the number of plants if there is no any limiting factor that substantially alters these growing conditions.

Effect of Candida zemplinina oak chips biofilm on wine aroma profile

Candida zemplinina (synonym Starmerella bacillaris) is frequently isolated in grape must in different vitivinicultural areas. The enological significance of C. zemplinina strains used in combination with S. cerevisiae has been demonstrated, being wines produced by the above-mixed starter, characterized by higher amounts of glycerol and esters.

Berry weight loss in Vitis vinifera (L.) cultivars during ripening

Berry shriveling (BS) in vineyards are caused by numerous factors such as sunburn, dehydration, stem necrosis. Climate change results in an increase in day and night temperatures, rainfall throughout the year, changes in the timing and quantities, long dry summers and a combination of climatic variability such as floods, droughts and heatwaves). Grape development and its composition at harvest is influenced by the latter as grape metabolites are sensitive to the environmental conditions. The grape berry experiences water loss and an increase in flavour development as a result of the BS. An increased sugar content in grapes will result in higher alcohol wines and concentration of grape aromas which may be detrimental to the final wine quality.

Correlation between agronomic performance and resistance gene in PIWi varieties in the field

Today’s viticulture faces a considerable challenge dealing with fungal diseases and limitations on the use of plant protection products (PPP) have increased the pressure to find more sustainable alternatives. One strategy may be the development and cultivation of disease-resistant grapevine varieties (PIWI) that could maintain crop productivity and quality while reducing dependence on PPP. In this work a set of 9 PIWI varieties (5 white and 4 red) deploying genes for resistance to powdery and downy mildew were evaluated in two consecutive years in Valdegón, La Rioja, with Tempranillo and Viura as controls. The objective was to correlate agronomic performance and disease incidence with the presence of disease resistance genes in two different seasons: with (2023) and without disease pressure (2022).

Overcoming habit formation in the production of wine

Evidence indicates that climate change affects the environment, human health, and well-being via drought, increasing greenhouse effect, and climatic catastrophes. As the wine sector is also negatively affected by climate change, the role of climate change mitigation and adaptation policies is important in wine production. One example of an adaptation policy is the implementation of grapevine genetics (duchene, 2016), while organic farming may be used as an approach to mitigate the consequences of climate change (vinci et al., 2022). To this end, the european commission’s objective is to reach the european green deal target of at least 25% of the european union’s agricultural land under organic farming by 2030.
