Zoning influence in chromatic parameters in Monastrell grape

Abstract

Zoning analysis determine homogeneous areas principally from the point of view of the medium, giving as a result a map which cartographic units synthesize the relations between the edaphic factors; morphological factors of the soil and climatic factors. The combination of these types of parameters allows to obtain maps of suitability of the optimum areas for the crop of the vineyard. At present it has been delimited and characterized eight grape areas belonging to the D.O. Jumilla. The chosen plots has been: Varahonda, Cañada del Judío, Cañada de Albatana, El Carche, Rubializas, Agüeros, Cortijo del Agrio and Casa Vistalegre. 
The determined parameters are: Phenological parameters: Dates of sprouting, flowering, veraison, and harvest. Chemical parameters during maturation: total phenolic compounds, anthocyanins to pH 1 (extractable anthoc.) and anthocyanins to pH 3 (Total anthoc.), seed ripeness (MP) and index of cellular ripeness (IMC). 
As for the determination of chromatic parameters and of extractability, in the plot of Cortijo del agrio the biggest quantity of anthocyanins has been obtained on having finished the period of ripening, on the other hand the plot of Cañada del Judio is the one that has obtained the highest values of extractable polyphenols. In our study, for the IMC lower value has been obtained for the plot located in Cañada del Judio and the highest value for the plot of Cortijo del agrio. As for seed ripeness Rubializas and Cortijo del agrio are the plots that obtained the lowest values.

Effect of irrigation and soil type on root growth and distribution of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Nero d’Avola grown in Sicily

L’essai a été effectué dans un vignoble du cépage Nero d’Avola greffé sur 1103 Paulsen dans un terroir de la D.O.C Alcamo en Sicile. Le système de conduite des vignes était à espalier, la taille à cordon coursonné et l’irrigation à goutte a goutte. On a été confrontés trois types de traitements: A) vignes non irriguées; B) vignes irriguées quand le

Effect of rootstock and preplant fumigation on plant parasitic nematode development in Washington wine grapes

In Washington State, the majority of winegrape (Vitis vinifera) vineyards are planted to their own roots. This practice is possible due to the lack of established phylloxera populations, and is preferred due to the ease of retraining after damaging winter cold events. However, own-rooted V. vinifera is generally susceptible to most plant parasitic nematodes that attack grape. In Washington State, management of nematodes is dominated by preplant soil fumigation. One practice that may mitigate economic loss due to nematodes is the adoption of nematode-“resistant” rootstocks.

Territoire, terroir et marché du vin à la production

Work aimed at understanding the relationship between a terroir, in the agronomic sense, and the physico-chemical characteristics of grapes or wine are numerous today, as evidenced by the program of this symposium. But for an economist, the central question remains to know how the terroir can intervene in the construction of the economic value of wine and in the differentiation of its prices. Is the terroir effect recognized by the end consumer or is it only an internal adjustment variable in the production systems? Through which indicators can this terroir effect be managed by the various operators in the sector? In the end, isn’t it better to invoke a “territorial effect” that the actors can build, and of which the terroir would be one of the possible components?
