The Enoforum is organized by VINIDEA and is the largest technical-scientific annual congress in Europe for the wine sector. In February 2021, the selected works covered a wide range of innovative topics for the wine industry, such as using of artificial intelligence and precision approach for vineyard management, copper reduction strategies, new varieties dealing with the adversity of climate changes, use of ultrasounds in winemaking, new methods for tannin estimation and quantification of phenol content, different tools for wine authenticity.
Organic viticulture requires copper based treatments for bunch protection even though an intensive employment is no longer admitted because of its low leaching and phytotoxicity in the soil. UE Reg. 1981/2018 set copper employment to 4 kg/ha for year or 28 during 7 years with an absolute level allowed of 6 Kg/ha although those limits were decreased frequently.
The trial aims to improve the protection and management of the soil, the well-being of the plant and the quality of production in the wine supply chain organic and biodynamic, using an innovative product "ZEOWINE" resulting from the composting of waste of the wine and zeolite supply chain.
