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.
Context and purpose of the study. Rising temperatures and prolonged heat accelerate berry sugar accumulation in advance of the accumulation of compounds responsible for aroma, colour and mouthfeel.
Context and Purpose of the study. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis with grapevines is a key component of vineyard ecosystems.
The inherent variability of Nature poses challenges for researchers to draw clear conclusions from field experiments. Identifying and assessing adaptations to climate change requires agronomic field trials.
Grapevine susceptibility to fungal diseases, including the vascular disease esca, is a major threat for wine productivity and vineyard perennity worldwide.
For a long time, cool climate grapevine breeding has striven for early ripening cultivars to adapt to the former climate conditions.
Commercial grapevine propagation relies on the ability of dormant wood material to develop adventitious roots.
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.
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.
Double cropping is a novel technique, driven by the extension of the growing season caused by global warming.
Magnesium (Mg) deficiency poses a significant challenge to viticulture, particularly affecting Welschriesling (WR), a key grape variety in Austrian and Central European vineyards.
The combined effect of soil moisture and soil temperature on grapevine physiology is gaining interest in the context of global warming.
