Evaluation of two (VSP and sprawl) training systems on cv. Tempranillo grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) under two shoot density levels for the production of aging wines

Abstract

Two grapevine training systems, vertical shoot positioned (VSP) and sprawl, were compared for their effects on yield, must composition and polyphenolic evolution in Vitis vinifera L. cv Tempranillo grafted onto 140R. The trial was conducted during 2012 and 2013 in Albacete (Spain). Two levels of shoot density, low (LD) and high (HD) were stablished to compare these systems in the production of premium Tempranillo wines. The evolution of phenolic compounds during maturation was different in each treatment, although the fruit had similar characteristics and were suitable for their purpose. In the interaction of these factors no significant differences were observed in the composition of the musts; however, despite the training system, higher yields were obtained in the high density shoot treatment, which translates into an economic advantage.

Effects of grapevine leafroll associated virus 2 infection on leaf net photosynthesis, yield and berry quality in Vitis vinifera cv. Malbec

Grapevine leafroll associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2) is one of the most common damaging viral diseases in vines, causing significant reductions in photosynthesis, yield and grape quality. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the leaf net photosynthesis and the transport of sugars to the berries is progressively reduced along the season in vines infected with GLRaV-2, and consequently, the yield (kg per plant) and total soluble solids (TSS) at the berry harvest-ripe stage are lower than non-infected vines.

Influence of genotype and water availability on respiratory costs and plant carbon balance in grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.)

Due to the important contribution of agriculture to the global carbon dioxide (CO2) balance, new techniques are currently being developed to accurately estimate the carbon balance of different crops. Field studies to date in grapevines have been based on carbon allocation and biomass accumulation dynamics.

Phenological behavior and evolution of maturation of grapes of juice preparation

The ripening level of the grape is one of the most important factors in the quality of its derivatives, because of the complex phenomena inherently related to the varieties and environmental conditions. The objective of the present study was to monitor the phenological development of the Chardonnay variety and to evaluate the influence of the different ripening points on the production of juices.
