Genetics of adventitious root formation in grapevines
Commercial grapevine propagation relies on the ability of dormant wood material to develop adventitious roots.
Shading grapevines with dynamic agrivoltaics address the challenge of early ripening and wine quality related with climate change
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change accelerates grapevine’s phenology, advancing harvests by 2–3 weeks over the past 40 years negatively affecting wine style due to a lack of acidity and too much alcohol.
Closing the carbon loop: evaluating the potential of grapevine-derived biochar as a soil conditioner in warm climate vineyards
Significant increases in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions due to combustion of fossil fuels and intensive land management practices that release CO2 into the atmosphere have resulted in higher air temperatures due to the greenhouse effect.
Effect of cytokinin and auxin application on double cropping performance in Vitis vinifera: preliminary findings
Double cropping is a novel technique, driven by the extension of the growing season caused by global warming.
Exploring magnesium defficiency in Welschriesling grapevines: A multi-omics approach to address viticultural challenges
Magnesium (Mg) deficiency poses a significant challenge to viticulture, particularly affecting Welschriesling (WR), a key grape variety in Austrian and Central European vineyards.
Above and below: soil moisture and soil temperature interact to alter grapevine water relations
The combined effect of soil moisture and soil temperature on grapevine physiology is gaining interest in the context of global warming.
Root water uptake patterns in rootstock-scion interactions influence grape water use strategies in a Mediterranean vineyard
Increasing drought is the most important impact of the ongoing climate change in the Mediterranean Basin, and it is predicted to result in productivity decreases and changes in grape quality.
The effects of soil health management practices on soil organic carbon persistence and accrual in vineyards
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change is already threatening California vineyards, as they grapple with increasing extreme weather events and drier growing seasons.
Impact of innovative canopy management techniques on grape and wine quality under Mediterranean summer conditions
The recent effects on temperature and rainfall caused by global warming pose a serious threat to the wine industry worldwide, mainly in terms of a loss of quality in the wines produced.
Short-term canopy strategies to enhance grapevine adaptation to climate change
Context and purpose of the study. Viticulture faces significant challenges due to climate change, with increased frequency of extreme weather events impacting grapevine growth, grape quality, and wine production.
Exploring the potential of agrivoltaics in German vineyards: A GIS-based assessment
The growing demand for renewable energy and sustainable agricultural practices has highlighted the potential of agrivoltaics (Agri-PV) as a promising solution, particularly in the context of German viticulture.
Agrovoltaic on vineyards: preliminary resuls on seasonal and diurnal whole-canopy gas exchange
Context and purpose of the study. Albeit standing as a fashionable research topic dual use of land as viti-voltaic still lacks of fundamental knowledge about whole canopy grapevine response to altered microclimate under panels vs open field conditions.
Agrivoltaic: chances preparing Riesling towards a better climate resilience
Agrivoltaics (AV), the innovative dual-use of land for agriculture and photovoltaic energy production on the same land, offers a promising solution to the challenges of expanding renewable energy without compromising valuable agricultural land.
Effect of the shade generated by simulated solar panels in two row orientation on the physiology and productivity of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Malbec
Context and purpose of the study. In regions where grapevines are grown under irrigation, like most regions in Argentina, the wine industry should adopt more sustainable strategies and production systems towards a higher water use efficiency and a reduction in no-renewable energy consumption.
Relationships between vine isohydricity and changes of fruit growth and metabolism during water deficit
The frequency of water deficits is increasing in many grape-growing regions due to climate change.
Digitization for automation–A frost management case study
The need to mitigate the yield impact of Spring frosts in vineyards remains a significant challenge around the world.
The importance of rural extension and advisory services to achieve a sustainable viticulture in a climate change scenario
A healthy and dynamic agricultural sector is an important foundation of rural development, generating strong bonds to other economic sectors.
Innovative water status monitoring of white grape varieties with on-plant sensors
Context and Purpose. Climate change presents significant challenges to agricultural sustainability, particularly through the increasing frequency of drought and water scarcity.
