The integration of digital technologies in vineyard management offers substantial opportunities for enhancing sustainability, efficiency, and grape quality.

The availability of water in the soil and the water status of the vineyard are proving to be determining factors for crop management in the current context of climatic variation

Against the background of climate change and the increasing impact of phytopathogenic agents of mycotic origin on the vine favors the appearance and toxicity of mycotoxins in wine.

Chitosan has been shown to enhance grapevine tolerance toward downy mildew while reducing the environmental impact of traditional protection products.

Due to ongoing climate change, managing vineyard diseases has become increasingly challenging in the Republic of Moldova.

Biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation are among the greatest challenges of our time, and agriculture’s use of pesticides is a major driver.

The technique of crossing, whether free or controlled, has always been a source of variability allowing the selection of new varieties with improved fitness.

Genetic diversity within grapevine cultivars is a fundamental resource for varietal improvement and adaptation to cultivation requirements.

The increase in temperature caused by climate change produces an earlier budbreak date that affects the vineyard, which generates a greater risk of damage by spring frosts.

Annually, around 31.95 million tonnes of grapevine prunings are produced worldwide as agricultural waste.

Climate change poses a significant challenge for global viticulture, with growing evidence of its negative impact on thermal and hydric regimes, both of which are essential for the development of table grapes.

The Rară Neagră 2.0 project aims to restore and safeguard the intra-varietal diversity of the ancient Eastern European grape variety Rară Neagră through polyclonal selection and the establishment of a certified genetic conservatory.

The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing from year to year. Taking into account the calculations of the greenhouse gas inventory, it was found that approximately 70% of CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed by vegetation (forests, agricultural land, etc.).

During the more than 190 years since the founding of the first ampelographic collection, the creation of a series of collections is attested on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, each operating in different historical periods and socio-economic conditions,

As viticulture faces increasing threats from emerging pests, understanding and dealing with new infestations is crucial.

The principles of virological control on different types of grapevine collections and plantations are summarized.
