Influence of edapho-climatic factors on grape quality in Conca de Barberà vineyards (Catalonia, Spain)

In white wines, Verdejo wine stands out because of its high content in total amino acids. The total content in biogenic amines was low in all wines analyzed and putrescine was the predominant biogenic amine.

The under-trellis zone of vineyards is a sensitive area through which vines cover a significant portion of their nutrient and water needs. Mechanical and chemical methods are applied to suppress competing and tall-growing weeds to ensure optimal vine growth conditions. In addition to higher operating costs and depending on the soil conditions, these practices might lead to a long-term reduction in soil fertility and biodiversity. The presented study aims to analyse the suitability and interspecies competition of a selected green cover mixture of five local herbaceous species as potential green cover mixture in the under-trellis area of Lower Austrian vineyards.

The influences of quality compost A+ and of a commercial organic fertilizer based on dry mash from bioethanol production, blackstrap molasses, vinasse, PNC (potato nitrogen concentrate) and CSL (corn steep liquor) on the humus content, on the mineral nitrogen content in the soil, in the must and in the vine leaves, on pruning wood

Las condiciones heliotérmicas en España son en general favorables a alcanzar una elevada producción de azúcares en las bayas de prácticamente todas las variedades que se cultivan en nuestro país.

Fungus-Resistant Grape (FRG) varieties represent a promising approach to address the challenges of climate change and sustainability in viticulture.
