Approaches for estimating the age of old vineyards in Campo de Borja
Determining the age of a vineyard is essential for understanding its influence on wine quality and characteristics.
Poster communication – Organic and sustainable viticulture
Biophysical and agronomical drivers of the distribution of Plasmopara viticola oospores in vineyard soils
Grapevine downy mildew (GDM), caused by the obligate biotroph oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is one of the most destructive diseases in viticulture.
Can different green manure fertilizations affect the vine balance and grape quality? First evidence of multi-year study
In the context of sustainable viticulture that implements organic practices to maintain soil fertility, green manuring plays a crucial role due to its ability to stock carbon and nitrogen in soil while supporting biodiversity.
Can plant shaking reduce the incidence of Botrytis?
Wine production is expanding in Scandinavia with a focus on organic growing, and Solaris becoming the signature grape of the region.
Climate regionalization of Uruguayan viticulture for ecological sustainability
Ecological sustainability refers to developing viticulture in adequate environmental conditions.
Evaluation of field inoculation of Kocuria rhizophila and Streptomyces violaceoruber as biostimulants under water availability conditions in grapevines
Agricultural productivity must promote management systems that incorporate sustainability principles, and viticulture is no exception.
Field evaluation of biofungicides to control powdery mildew and botrytis bunch rot of wine grapes in California
Grapevine powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator and Botrytis bunch rot caused by Botrytis cinerea are two of the most important fungal diseases in California grape production.
Ground vs trellis in rootstock cane production fields
Context and purpose of the study. The vine nursery sector is undergoing a transformation to meet growing environmental and sanitary demands.
High levels of copper and persistent synthetic pesticides in vineyard soils
Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola), powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) and bunch rot (Botrytis cinerea) are the most prevalent fungal diseases in viticulture.
Impact of pruning method on vegetative growth and yield
Over the past fifteen years or so, a number of theories have emerged on more or less new pruning practices.
Investigation of the biostimulant activity of naringenin on anthocyanins biosynthesis: from an explanatory transcriptomic approach on Gamay callus towards a future vineyard application
Context and purpose of the study. Anthocyanins are essential phenolic compounds in red wine, contributing significantly to colour intensity, stability, and sensory quality.
Linking soil C cycling and microbial diversity under regenerative management in Northern California (USA) vineyards
Regenerative agriculture (RA) practices aim to minimize soil disturbance, keep soil covered, maintain living roots underground, and integrate livestock to improve soil health and sustainability.
Microbial consortia as a tool for sustainable vineyard management: A study on their acceptance among Veneto region’s grape-growers
In recent years, sustainability has become a key focus in agriculture, including viticulture.
Modulating the phyllosphere microbiome in grapevine using plant biostimulants to enhance protection against biotic and abiotic stress
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change scenarios predict ever increasing frequency of drought events and coupled with disease outbreaks poses survival risks to perennial fruit crops such as grapevine.
Multicriteria assessment of 11 agroecological viticulture systems during six years
Context and purpose of the study. Modern conventional agriculture, including viticulture, relies greatly on the use of chemical inputs, especially synthetic pesticides.
