There is an urgent need to develop protective measures for grapevines in historically significant dry-farming vineyards, particularly on Mediterranean islands.
Context and purpose of the study. Modern conventional agriculture, including viticulture, relies greatly on the use of chemical inputs, especially synthetic pesticides.
Context and purpose of the study. Reducing pesticide use such as glyphosate, is a key challenge to support sustainability of viticulture systems and resilience of vineyard.
Regenerative agriculture is a set of agricultural practices that focus on improving the health of the soil, increasing biodiversity, and enhancing ecosystem services.
In recent years, sustainability has become a key focus in agriculture, including viticulture.
Context and purpose of the study. Vitis vinifera grapevine is a perennial crop which is globally cultivated, surviving cold winters in temperate zones by entering a state of dormancy.
Context and purpose of the study. The vine nursery sector is undergoing a transformation to meet growing environmental and sanitary demands.
Accurate yield estimation is crucial for optimizing vineyard management and logistical organization. Traditional methods relying on manual and destructive flower or berry counts are labor-intensive and unsuitable for large-scale applications.
Historical records of grapevine phenology have been collected over decades throughout different winegrowing regions. These records have demonstrated advances in key developmental stages such as budburst, flowering and veraison because of increased temperatures due to climate change.
Context and purpose of the study. Anthocyanins are essential phenolic compounds in red wine, contributing significantly to colour intensity, stability, and sensory quality.
