Effects of grapevine leafroll associated virus 2 infection on leaf net photosynthesis, yield and berry quality in Vitis vinifera cv. Malbec

Grapevine leafroll associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2) is one of the most common damaging viral diseases in vines, causing significant reductions in photosynthesis, yield and grape quality. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the leaf net photosynthesis and the transport of sugars to the berries is progressively reduced along the season in vines infected with GLRaV-2, and consequently, the yield (kg per plant) and total soluble solids (TSS) at the berry harvest-ripe stage are lower than non-infected vines.

Phenological behavior and evolution of maturation of grapes of juice preparation

The ripening level of the grape is one of the most important factors in the quality of its derivatives, because of the complex phenomena inherently related to the varieties and environmental conditions. The objective of the present study was to monitor the phenological development of the Chardonnay variety and to evaluate the influence of the different ripening points on the production of juices.

Precision viticulture: determination of the vigor’s spatial variability and its relation with vine response

In order to consider the potential interest of precision viticulture in the specific conditions of Uruguay, an experiment was performed in two plots of 1.8 hectares in a commercial vineyard planted with Tannat (Vitis vinifera L.) variety and trained to Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP) trellis system.
