Characterization of spatial and temporal soil water status in vineyard by DC resistivity measurements

Abstract

We performed a DC resistivity monitoring experiment during eight months in 2003. Low, medium and high resolution measurements have been carried out at various locations of a vineyard. General apparent resistivity mapping evidences the spatial variations of the summer drying of the subsurface.
Three experiments have been conducted in the studied area :
– parallel 2-D dipole-dipole sections (96 electrodes at 1 meter spacing). The sections are orientated in the long direction of the studied area and located between the vine rows. After inversion, these sections allow to describe the vertical variations of the electrical resistivity and help to specify the 3D geological sketch of the studied area down to three meters.
– high resolution « borehole like » tomographic sections obtained with a custom electrode set. Three PVC rods, two of them vertically placed and one horizontal between the two vertical carry 48 stainless steel electrodes, 0.13 m spaced. This allows to investigate a 4 squared meters section with electrodes on three sides of it. Two of these devices were placed within the sudied area. Moisture measurements were performed in the investigated section with time domain reflectivity probes. High resolution cross borehole tomography shows moisture variation at the vine stock scale, and short time interval such as the diffusion af a rainfall.

EFFECT OF WHOLE BUNCH VINIFICATION ON THE ABUNDANCE OF A SWEETENING COMPOUND

In classic red wine-making process, grapes are usually destemmed between harvest and the filling of the vat. However, some winemakers choose to let all or a part of the stems in contact with the juice during vatting, this is called whole bunch vinification. For instance, this practice is traditionally used in some French wine regions, notably in Burgundy, Beaujolais and the Rhone Valley. The choice to keep this part of the grape is likely to affect the sensory properties of wine, as its gustatory perception1,2.

Soil survey and chemical parameters evaluation in viticultural zoning

The most recent methodological developments in soil survey and land evaluation, that can be taken as reference in the viticultural field, go over usage of the GIS and database. These informatic tools, which begin to be widely utilised, consent to realise evaluations at different geographic scale and with different data quality and quantity in entrance.

Impact of red blotch disease on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape and wine composition and wine sensory attributes

Grapevine Red Blotch disease (RB) is a recently discovered disease that has become a major concern for the viticulture and winemaking industry in California, USA. The causal
agent, Grapevine Red Blotch Virus (GRBV) was identified in 2011 and its presence was confirmed in several states in the US, in Canada, and in Switzerland. It has been demonstrated that RB compromised the regulation of ripening by suppressing specific ripening events, altering the expression patterns of transcription factors and causing hormonal imbalances in Zinfandel.
