Comportement hydrique des sols viticoles et leur influence sur le terroir

Abstract

L’étude des relations Terroir – Vigne – Raisin est complexe. La recherche et le développement des facteurs qualitatifs qui influencent le caractère des vins sont multiples. Divers travaux mettent en évidence la relation entre l’alimentation en eau de la plante, son développement végétatif et les caractéristiques de ses raisins. Après étude agropédologique préliminaire, nous avons implanté des tubes neutroniques dans les vignobles du Mandement (canton de Genève) et de Chamoson (canton du Valais), à des profondeurs se situant entre 4 et 9 mètres. Nous avions pour but de considérer le régime hydrique de quelques sols caractéristiques. En parallèle, nous avons enregistré les paramètres mésoclimatiques et microclimatiques des régions concernées, observé le développement du végétal et suivi l’évolution de la maturation des baies.
Dans ce contexte, nous nous sommes intéressés plus particulièrement à l’influence du régime hydrique, sans négliger la problématique de l’irrigation. L’on ne saurait aborder ce sujet sans tenir compte de l’enracinement de la vigne: les racines explorent non seulement les premiers décimètres du sol, mais également, lorsque les conditions les y obligent, le sous-sol, allant parfois même jusqu’à pénétrer la roche-mère. Ainsi assurent-elles l’alimentation en eau de la vigne.

Impact of organic inputs on soil biodiversity in vineyard systems. A monitoring approach during 20 years

Conventional vineyard practices have lead in many environmental disturbances as erosion, soil compaction, loss of organic matter and soil biodiversity, water contamination

Investigating three proximal remote sensing techniques for vineyard yield monitoring

Yield monitoring can provide the winegrowers with information for precise production inputs during the season, thereby, ensuring the best possible harvest. Yield estimation is currently achieved through an intensive process that is destructive and time-consuming. However, remote sensing provides a group of proximal technologies and techniques for a non-destructive and less time-consuming method for yield monitoring.The objective of this study was to analyse three different approaches, for measuring grapevine yield close to harvest.

Impact of Japanese beetles (Popillia japonica Newman) on the chemical composition of two grape varieties grown in Italy (Nebbiolo and Erbaluce)

The Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, is considered one of the most harmful organisms due to its ability to feed on more than 300 plant species. Symptoms indicative of adult beetles include feeding holes in host plants extending to skeletonization of leaves when population numbers are high. The vine is one of the species most affected by this beetle. However, the damaged plants, even if with difficulty, manage to recover, bringing the bunches of grapes to ripeness.

Study of the colour and phenolic evolution of three different tannin/anthocyanin ratios over time in a model wine

Phenolic compounds are important quality indicators in red wine. A large number of polyphenols play an important role in wine development, contributing to the colour and the sensory perception of the wines. Anthocyanins are the pigments responsible for the colour in young red wines while tannins are the principal contributors to the bitterness and the astringency of the wines. Wine polyphenols are considered more complex molecules than grape phenolics, due to the enormous number of chemical reactions which take place during the entire winemaking process and storage, forming more stable compounds.

Technical innovation and quality control of wine production in China

Recent decades have witnessed an evolving trend of diverse product types, improved quality, and green, low-carbon, and sustainable development in chinese wine market. A quality evaluation system, namely, with a dual orientation of “flavor compounds” and “sensory evaluation” is used as guidance for winemaking innovation in China.
