In the recent decades, vineyards have been managed using herbicides and intensive tillage to eliminate competition of adventitious vegetation for resources.
Agricultural sustainability requires production systems that maintain yields while preserving soil health and ecosystem functions.
A plant’s cuticle layer is an external waxy barrier to the lipid membrane and the plants first line of defense.
Torontel (Vitis vinífera L.) is an autochtonous Peruvian grape variety1 issuing from the crossing between Listan Prieto and Muscat of Alexandria, which were introduced to South America by Spanish missionaries in the 16th century.
In the pursuit of more sustainable viticulture, many winegrowers have drastically reduced nitrogen (N) fertilisation and abandoned chemical weed control in favour of permanent grass cover.
The consequences of climate change represent a real challenge for viticulture.
The integration of agrivoltaics (APV) in vineyards can reduce climate and production risks while also generating electricity.
The terroir can be considered as a well-defined area where natural conditions such as geomorphology of location, climate, ventilation, sun exposure, rainfall quantity and distribution, and humidity contribute to the production of a wine that is specific to that area and identifiable through the characteristics of the territory of origin (Bonfante and Brillante, 2022).
Climate change presents major challenges to global wine production, as rising temperatures and extreme weather events impact vine health, yields, and grape composition (van Leeuwen et al., 2024).
The hilly territory of Conegliano Valdobbiadene is the historic area where Prosecco has developed and gained international recognition.
