Contribution of very high resolution satellite remote sensing to the mapping of harvest zones in the Maipo Valley (Chile)

Abstract

[English version below]

Les images de très haute résolution spatiale sont utilisées depuis peu en viticulture comme une aide à la cartographie des zones de vendanges. A partir d’images multispectrales de très haute résolution spatiale IKONOS (résolution 4 m) et SPOT-5 en supermode (résolution 2.5 m), on propose ici une démarche de segmentation d’une région de vignoble en zones de vendanges. Outre les états de la végétation de la vigne, on considère une caractérisation des états de surface du sol. La démarche repose sur une étude diachronique à deux dates sensibles du cycle de la vigne, mars 2001 (IKONOS) et juillet 2002 (SPOT-5). L’étude porte sur 134 ha, comprenant 23 parcelles irriguées de Cabernet-Sauvignon. Les traitements d’images consistent en des masquages, réalisés à partir d’une image infra-rouge couleur, qui isolent tour à tour la végétation de la vigne ou les sols nus. Des classifications ascendantes hiérarchiques conduisent à déterminer 6 classes de végétation de la vigne, ordonnées par niveau de biomasse (et d’activité) chlorophyllienne, et 4 classes de sols nus. Ces résultats montrent que le niveau de biomasse chlorophyllienne de la vigne est spécifiquement associé à certaines classes de sols nus. Les résultats sont discutés en liaison avec des informations viticoles concernant cépage, mode de conduite, orientation des rangs, enherbement, irrigation, âge des ceps, densité de plantation.

Use of very high-resolution images, as a support to demarcating grape harvest zones, is recent in viticulture. Using very high resolution IKONOS (4 m-resolution) and supermode SPOT-5 (2.5 m-resolution) multispectral images, this paper here proposes an approach of segmentating a vineyard region into grape harvest zones. In addition to vine vegetation states, soil surface is characterized. This approach relies on a diachronic study at two significant dates of the vine cycle: March 2001 (IKONOS) and July 2002 (SPOT-5). The study is carried out over 134 ha, comprising 23 Cabernet-Sauvignon irrigated plots. Images are processed by successive maskings carried out on a Infrared Color (IRC) image, which alternately isolate vine vegetation or bare soils. The performing of Ascending Hierarchical Classifications result in defining 6 vine vegetation classes, which are ranked by chlorophyll biomass (and activity) qualitative level, and 4 bare soil classes. These results demonstrate that vine chlorophyll biomass qualitative levels are specifically related to some classes of bare soils. Results are discussed in relationship with viticultural data referring to variety, training system, row orientation, grass cover, irrigation, plant age, planting density.

Grape variety identification and detection of terroir effects from satellite images

Satellite images are used to determine the reflectance dependency to wavelength in different grape varieties (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay). The terroir influence is investigated through study of vineyards in France, Brazil and Chile.

Mesoclimate impact on Tannat in the Atlantic terroir of Uruguay

The study of climate is relevant as an element conditioning the typicity of a product, its quality and sustainability over the years. The grapevine development and growth and the final grape and wine composition are closely related to temperature, while climate components vary at mesoscale according to topography and/or proximity to large bodies of water. The objective of this work is to assess the mesoclimate of the Atlantic region of Uruguay and to determine the effect of topography and the ocean on temperature and consequently on Tannat grapevine behavior.

Cover crops competition for water in vineyards: case studies in mediterranean terroirs

Vineyard cover cropping is a cultural practice widely used in many of the world’s winegrowing regions being one of the most recommended practices to face climate changes and to promote vineyard environmental sustainability.

OENOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF AUTOCHTHONOUS SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE STRAINS AND THEIR EFFECT ON THE PRODUCTION OF TYPICAL SAVATIANO WINES

Due to the global demand for terroir wines, the winemaking industry has focused attention on exploiting the local yeast microflora of each wine growing region to express the regional character and enhance the sensory profile of wines such as varietal typicity and aroma complexity. The objective of the present study was to isolate and compare the indigenous strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae present in different vineyards in the Mesogeia – Attiki wine region (Greece), evaluate their impact on chemical composition and sensory profile of Savatiano wines and select the most suitable ones for winemaking process.

Evaluation of interception traps for capture of Xylotrechus arvicola (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in vineyards varieties from Protected Denomination of Origin León

Xylotrechus arvicola (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is a pest in vineyards (Vitis vinifera) in the main Spain wine-producing regions with Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO). The action of the larvae, associated to the spreading of wood fungi, causes damage especially in important varieties of V. vinifera. X. arvicola females lay eggs concentrated in cracks or under the rhytidome in the wood vines, which allows the emerging larvae to get into the wood and make galleries inside the plant being then necessary to prune intensively or to pull up the bored plants (1). The objective of the study was to evaluate captures of X. arvicola insects in five varieties of V. vinifera in PDO León.
