Viticultural characterisation of soils from triassic period at Beaumes-de-Venise (Côtes du Rhône, France)

In recent years, sustainability has become a key focus in agriculture, including viticulture.

Pest biocontrol strategies are gaining attention as eco-friendly alternatives to the use of synthetic pesticides, including in viticulture.

Insufficient acidity in grapes from warm(ing) climates is commonly corrected through addition of tartaric acid during vinification, and less so with other organic acids. One alternative approach involves bio-acidification with certain strains of Lachancea thermotolerans (LT) via lactic acid production during fermentation.

Evaluation of the fertility management practices in wine grape varieties production. Wine grape represents one of the most important productions in Greece with major impact to the socioeconomic characteristics of the country. The objective of this study is to evaluate, with the support of Geospatial Technologies, the potential effects of an innovative foliar fertilizer system, which is composed of three parts: a mineral fertilizer in a micronized formulation, a biostimulant as an enhancing factor of the process and, an amino acid compound (SANOVITA concept). The study was established at a collaborative, private vineyard, in the area of Trilofos-Thessaloniki, at the region of Northern Greece.

Early and accurate grapevine disease detection and surveillance are crucial for optimizing vineyard management practices.
