In the context of increasingly hot and dry summers, the adoption of innovative irrigation technologies has become essential for maintaining grape production while minimizing water use.
CropManage (CM) is an online decision support service (DSS) developed by the University of California, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources for assisting farmers with efficiently managing water and nitrogen fertilizer to match the site-specific needs of their crops.
Soil management plays a key role in climate change adaptation.
In viticulture, microbial communities – particularly fungi – play a vital role in plant health, disease management, and grape quality.
The cost-effectiveness of a winery requires constant cost control in order to ensure competitiveness on the wine market.
Vineyards are home to a wide diversity of microorganisms that interact with plants and with each other.
Pesticides are considered one of the main causes for arthropod decline in agriculture which in turn may affect ecosystem services such as natural pest control and soil fertility.
Context and purpose. The vine is a holobiont, where the plant interacts positively, negatively, and neutrally with microbes that together form the vine’s microbiome.
Epigenetics corresponds to the complement of genetic information carried in chromatin beyond the DNA sequence.
Vine water use is a critical determinant of vineyard management practices, especially in the context of climate change.
Armenia, as one of the ancient centers of grapevine domestication, harbors a unique repository of genetic diversity in its indigenous and wild grapevine populations, highlighting a key role in the millennia-lasting history of grape cultivation in the Southern Caucasus (Margaryan et al., 2021).
Vines are one of the most pesticide-intensive crops in France, and reducing their use is a major challenge for both the environment and human health.
Context of the study. Shifts in grapevine phenology driven by temperature increase due to climate change may result in different rainfall profiles between phenological stages.
Root System Architecture (RSA) is crucial for plant resilience and resource uptake, yet remains underexplored in viticulture.
Fungicide spraying is a common viticultural practice that occurs throughout the growth season that protects developing vines and bunches against diseases caused by fungi or oomycetes.
Investigating vineyard floor management is essential as these practices directly impact soil health, vine growth, and grape quality.
Agriculture is one of the largest contributors to environmental pollution and causing significant impacts on human health, ecosystems, and resource availability.
Vineyard water management in Australia is often associated with irrigation in warm and hot climates, but in cooler regions the larger share of the seasonal water demand is met by rainfall.
