Read MoreIt is important to quantify the effect of potential crop on vine water constraint in order to adapt vine-growing consulting and vine management to the Mediterranean climate conditions. Experiments were conducted during two years running (2006 and 2007) on varieties Grenache and Syrah in a situation of high water constraint in the Rhône Valley. Yields […]
Read MoreThe ‘Caiño’ cultivar was cultivated in Galicia (Northwestern Spain) before the invasion of grape phylloxera.
