Castilla-La Mancha region (Spain) is an important viticulture region with 500.000 hectares occupied by vineyards.

Global warming advances ripening of grapes to warmer months of the growing season, impacting fruit physiology and threatening wine typicity.

Bunch rot is one of the main causes of grape quality losses, especially in rainy summers.

Radiation plays a key role on yield and quality. A high variability in incident radiation is observed within the leaves and grapes of a single canopy.

Young vines are very susceptible to frost damage due to their short height which situates frost-sensitive buds and shoots very close to the ground, which is where the coldest air temperatures typically occur.

The irrigated vineyards of the Paso Robles region of California depend upon groundwater for irrigation; this groundwater supply is currently impacted by excessive withdrawals.

There is currently trellis-training system that achieves high yields, comparable to a parral, with high-quality wine and the possibility of machine harvest.

For cool windy climates and/or lower vigor sites, delays in vine development during training can result in a greater number of growing seasons to achieve full crop yield potential.

This work starts from the idea that the nitrogen application in pre-harvest would have positive effects on biomass accumulation of the vine plant before its winter rest, and that would enable a better and faster sprouting in the following season, without sacrificing the oenological quality of the grapes.

At harvest, the composition of the grape berries is the result of the interaction between physiological processes genetically programmed during the developmental cycle and responses to the imposed environmental parameters that induce more or less pronounced stress conditions.

Many vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina, are being modified to new vine-training systems that allow mechanical canopy management.

Yield loss and delayed fruit ripening due to spring, post-bud burst freeze injury is an economic challenge for many grape growers all over the world.

Physiological and productive responses of table grape cv. Red Globe to different regulated deficit irrigation schedules were studied as strategy for facing the increasing water scarcity which affects Chilean table grape producing areas.

Benefits of under-trellis cover crops (UTCC) have been reported. Our goal was to evaluate the UTCC, as tool to restrict vegetative growth of Vitis vinifera cv. Tannat grapevines in a humid environment.

Yield control is an important current issue because of the strong correlation of excessive yield and frequency of some diseases.

Soil management practices such as mulching or cover crop are agricultural practices that can help to modulate vegetative development and as a consequence, reduce water inputs.

The Mediterranean Basin is marked by a strong pressure on water resources, which could reach a critical threshold with the increase of the demand and the decrease of its availability, both linked to the population growth and climate change.

A new viticulture has been developing in Uruguay in the last years, in order to improve the quality of the wines and to increase the typicity generated by the terroir.

Two grapevine training systems, vertical shoot positioned (VSP) and sprawl, were compared for their effects on yield, must composition and polyphenolic evolution in Vitis vinifera L. cv Tempranillo grafted onto 140R.

The aim of this work was to study the influence of nitrogen (N) foliar applications on grape amino acid composition.
