The soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) is a widely used tool in the study of the geospatial variations of chemical and physical properties of the soil.
The number of inflorescence primordia (IP) in compound buds has been previously reported to be closely related to the yield in the coming season.
Several studies have provided many techniques to rapidly characterize canopy architecture using the canopy height and width.
Soils properties within a vineyard usually present spatial variability, inducing variability in plant responses and grape characteristics.
Bush fires are becoming more frequent, severe and extensive due to changing climate and intentional fires.
American and crossbreed grapes varieties show a good adaptation to the climatic conditions of different Brazilian regions, representing about 70% of total production of Santa Catarina state (Brazil).
The mitigation of climate change effects over vineyards area represents an important stake for viticulture sustainability.
This work is carried out during 2016 on a commercial vineyard to evaluate productivity and wine final characteristics in different subplots discriminated against by remote sensing.
The concentration of gluconic acid can be used as an indicator of ripeness and sanity of grapes.
An accurate yield estimation is a constant demand in the winemaking industry.
The estimation of Leaf area index (LAI) at large spatial scales (vineyard level) is a crucial factor for several Precision Viticulture (PV) applications, associated with the plant growth modeling and decision support for irrigation and canopy management.
The selection of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from a wine-producing area is necessary to the formulation of native malolactic starter cultures, well adapted to local winemaking practices, and able of enhancing the regional wine typicality.
Carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are the greenhouse gases (GHG) that have suffered a more marked concentration increase since the Industrial Revolution, with agriculture accounting for 13.5% of the worldwide emissions.
In Brazil, the fifth largest wine producer in the Southern Hemisphere, one of the more important regions is known as “Campanha”, in Rio Grande do Sul State.
Frost events occur by radiation or advection processes. The relative tendency for the different types of frosts to occur has critical importance for implementing appropriate protection measures.
