The potential of a vegetable-based oil to delay bud burst while maintaining fruit sugar accumulation
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 response of table grapes cv. Red Globe to pre- and post-harvest regulated deficit irrigation
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.
Complete vineyard floor cover crop for sustainable bunch rot management in a humid climate
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.
Double maturation raisonnée: effects on quality of grapes and wine composition in cv. Baga (Vitis vinifera L.)
Yield control is an important current issue because of the strong correlation of excessive yield and frequency of some diseases.
Growth and grape yield and quality
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.
Irri-Alt’Eau – recycled water management strategy as a local water source for grapevine drip irrigation
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.
Effects of soil physical conditions on the composition of Tannat wines
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.
Evaluation of two (VSP and sprawl) training systems on cv. Tempranillo grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) under two shoot density levels for the production of aging wines
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.
Effect of phenylalanine and urea foliar applications to Tempranillo and Monastrell vines on grape amino acid content during two vintages
The aim of this work was to study the influence of nitrogen (N) foliar applications on grape amino acid composition.
Effect of phenylalanine and urea foliar application on grape and must microbiota
Recently, some studies have been conducted to optimize traditional nitrogen supplementation of the soil by promoting the foliar application of different nitrogen sources such as phenylalanine and urea.
How and when potential yield disappeared
Every year, after the inflorescences counting in spring, a certain loss in the number of clusters was observed at the harvest.
Coupling Tempranillo grape phenolic and technological ripeness by forcing vine bud regrowth
Global warming is causing early harvests because of the fast grape total soluble solids accumulation.
Improving the yield and quality of Sauvignon blanc
We evaluated 5 trellis systems and 12 clones in 2 separate experiments with the goal of measuring the effect on yield, ripening, and fruit quality.
Spontaneous cover-crop characterization is relevant to define a sustainable soil management strategy in vineyard
Spontaneous cover cropping is a common practice in Mediterranean vineyards because it is often seen as less competitive and easier to manage than sown covercrops.
Productive and physiological response to irrigation of five white Vitis vinifera L. varieties cultivated in Spain
The work was carried out with five white Vitis vinifera, L. varieties (Verdejo, Tempranillo Blanco, Airén, Macabeo and Albariño), four of them cultivated in the Denomination of Origin (D.O.) where they have the greatest area planted of Spain (Verdejo in Rueda, Tempranillo Blanco in Rioja, Airén in La Mancha and Albariño in Rías Baixas) and Macabeo, that although it is not the most important variety in Extremadura, its study was considered there for the importance that it has in all Spain.
Effect of leaf to fruit ratio on grape and wine composition in a minimally pruned vineyard
There is some evidence that sugar accumulation is retarded in minimally pruned vines.
Effect of regulated deficit irrigation on vegetative growth, yield, fruit quality, and reserves accumulation of superior seedless
Superior Seedless is a table grape cultivar mainly produced in San Juan.
Elicitors: A strategy to improve phenolic composition in grapes and wines
The technological importance of phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids, is well known.
Impacts of nitrogen fertilisation amount and timing on grapevine nitrogen and carbon status in high yielding vineyards of south of France
Maintaining grapevine productivity with limited inputs is crucial in Mediterranean areas.
Impact of crop load on yield, and berry and wine composition of cv. Bonarda, Mendoza
Production of high quality grapes requires balanced vines, assessed through leaf to fruit ratio or Ravaz Index (RI).
