Articles selection: budburst and spring frost

🌡️ Accurate monitoring of the early developmental stages of grapevines is essential to ensure effective technical management of the vineyard. However, climate change, by causing milder winters, disrupts the vine’s phenological cycle throughout the year and leads to earlier budburst.

🎯 These four articles published in IVES Technical Reviews, highlight both passive and active practices for delaying budburst and avoiding spring frost damage.
