The 20th GiESCO International Meeting is held in Mendoza (Argentina), November 5-10, 2017.
The residue obtained from grape juice centrifugation is an excellent source of minerals, which are important for the perfect functioning of the human metabolism.
Currently the search for alternative sources of natural pigments has stimulated the development of research in different sectors of viticulture.
Digital technology has revolutionized the way we communicate. It should fundamentally transform the way we teach.
This paper outlines the results of the activities and research carried out to determine which of the following aspects most influence sensorial and economic quality of wine grapes and wine grape production: product quality, cultivar, vineyards layout, winemaking techniques we must take into consideration in short, medium and long term so that the wine-growing activity of the north-east of Italy is increasingly “MetaEthically Sustainable 4.1C”.
Among grapevine diseases affecting European vineyards, Flavescence dorée (FD) and Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTD) are probably the ones with the most severe economic consequences. UAV multispectral images could be a powerful tool for the automatic detection of symptomatic vines.
Field observations in Argentinean vineyards, have led to claim that phylloxera grow better in clay soils and under drip irrigation, than in sandy soils and flooding. The aim of this study was to assess phylloxera damagein vines under two irrigation methods orsoil textures in controlled conditions.
By the means of (i) a national data base providing information about the vineyard management practices of more than 5000 vine growers in France (for years 2006 and 2010) and (ii) data characterizing the main wine producing regions, the authors analyze the factors likely to explain the intensity of pesticide use in the French vineyard.
During the last ten years, winegrowers in the department of Sarmiento have experienced losses in their productions due to the incidence of two endemic diseases of the vine: downy mildew (Plasmoparaviticola) and powdery mildew (Erysiphenecator).
Environmental sustainability, linked to fungicide treatments, leads to a quest for innovative answers, which are closer to the environmental ones. In this context we included our experimental activity, developed in the harvests of 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, which is looking for innovative defense solutions in viticulture.
In the present work it was proposed to evaluate the use of massive trapping for the control of the fruit fly complex that attacks the vine, using two types of food attractants; as well as determine the species and sex captured by them, and the level of crop damage. The adaptive research work was carried out in Tolombón- Cafayate- Salta- Argentina, during the 2015/2016, on a plot of 2 ha of grape variety TorrontésRiojano, conducted in horizontal roof.
