Vine protection and sustainability

Vineyards are highly variable and this variation is largely driven by environmental conditions and seasonal variation. For example, warm temperatures

Fifteen nepoviruses are able to induce fanleaf degeneration in grapes. Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) is the main causal agent of this disease

Grapevine leafroll associated virus (GLRaV) infections deteriorate vine physiological performance and cause high losses of yield and fruit quality

The presence of grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) related pathogens leads to severe economic losses in wine‐growing regions all over the world

The spatial distribution of powdery mildew is often heterogeneous between neighboring plots, with higher disease pressure in certain places

Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of drought periods leading to significant impacts on agro‐economic activities

Cover crops are planted in vineyards for multiple benefits including soil conservation, weed management, regulation of grapevine vegetative growth

The production of organically grown crops developed exponentially in the last few decades based on consumer demands for healthy food
