Perceptions of livestock integration in South African vineyards
Context and purpose of the study. Conventional viticulture relies heavily on synthetic inputs (fertilizers, pesticides), as well as mechanization to manage pests, weeds, and diseases and maximize yields.
Redwine project: increasing microalgae biomass feedstock by valorising wine gaseous and liquid residues
Global warming due to greenhouse gases (GHG) has become a serious worldwide concern.
Evaluation of field inoculation of Kocuria rhizophila and Streptomyces violaceoruber as biostimulants under water availability conditions in grapevines
Agricultural productivity must promote management systems that incorporate sustainability principles, and viticulture is no exception.
Modulating the phyllosphere microbiome in grapevine using plant biostimulants to enhance protection against biotic and abiotic stress
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change scenarios predict ever increasing frequency of drought events and coupled with disease outbreaks poses survival risks to perennial fruit crops such as grapevine.
Sustainable agriculture and food innovation: preserving agrodiversity and advancing vineyard resilience in Madeira
The ISOPlexis – Center for Sustainable Agriculture and Food Technology, University of Madeira, is a research unit that develops activities in the fields of Sustainable Agriculture, Agri-food Technology and Bioeconomy, with focus on agrodiversity monitoring and phenotyping,
Can plant shaking reduce the incidence of Botrytis?
Wine production is expanding in Scandinavia with a focus on organic growing, and Solaris becoming the signature grape of the region.
High levels of copper and persistent synthetic pesticides in vineyard soils
Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola), powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) and bunch rot (Botrytis cinerea) are the most prevalent fungal diseases in viticulture.
Linking soil C cycling and microbial diversity under regenerative management in Northern California (USA) vineyards
Regenerative agriculture (RA) practices aim to minimize soil disturbance, keep soil covered, maintain living roots underground, and integrate livestock to improve soil health and sustainability.
Can different green manure fertilizations affect the vine balance and grape quality? First evidence of multi-year study
In the context of sustainable viticulture that implements organic practices to maintain soil fertility, green manuring plays a crucial role due to its ability to stock carbon and nitrogen in soil while supporting biodiversity.
Influence of plant growth regulators and water deficit on cv. Krissy table grape
Context and purpose of the study. The quality of table grape clusters significantly affects consumer perception and market value, with berry size, texture, color, and overall appearance playing key roles.
Grassland and patch scale diversity in supporting avian diversity and potential ecosystem services
The composition and structure of vineyard landscapes significantly affect bird communities and the ecosystem services they provide in agriculture.
WHEY protein hydrolysates enhance grapevine resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses
Context and purpose of the study. The growing need for sustainable solutions in viticulture has led to increased interest in biostimulants that can enhance plant resilience to both abiotic and biotic stresses.
Impact of Ecklonia maxima seaweed extract on the vegetative, reproductive and microbiome in Vitis vinifera L. cv Cabernet-Sauvignon
Context and purpose of the study. Climate change is a major challenge in wine production. It results in erratic weather conditions which may lead to a reduction in grape yield and the subsequent grape and wine quality.
First application of an original methodology created to overcome conflicts between stakeholders in an important wine-growing territory: methodology, results, and perspectives in the application of sustainability EME4.1C
Considering the previous research and activities, also, on Sustainability EME4.1C which, as widely known, considers in a harmonious chain all the factors material, immaterial, moral and spiritual related to all aspects environmental, economic, social, existential, relational, ethical, technical and “MetaEthic” indexed 4.1C
Spiders in vineyards show varying effects of inter-row management and the surrounding landscape
In vineyards, management and the surrounding landscape can have different effects on spiders. In temperate regions management (organic vs. conventional) may have less strong effects than for other crops.
Cover crops sown in the inter-rows shape the weed communities in three vineyards across Italy
The use of cover crops (CCs) is widely proposed as an alternative to traditional soil management in vineyards to exploit a wide range of ecosystem services. The presence of a CC in the inter-row space is known to control spontaneous vegetation in vineyards, primarily through the biomass of the sown crop, which competes with other spontaneous species for soil resources.
Developing effective physiological strategies to rejuvenate virus-infected vineyards by lowering the virus load in infected grapevines
Context and purpose of the study. The wine industries face significant challenges from two highly detrimental viruses: leafroll and red blotch.
