Vigour mapping and vineyard management
, 2017 Background and Aims Precision viticulture encompasses a series of techniques from remote to proximal sensing for describing and exploiting within-vineyard variability. Our aim was to assess how vigour mapping associated with detailed ground-truthing can provide guidelines for more sustainable vineyard management.

New Technologies for Vineyard Management
, 2022 Purpose/Aim. Most decisions taken by today’s grapegrowers are based on a combination of visual inspection, own experience and background, as well as on external recommendations. However, in the actual context, where global challenges related to grape production, such as climate change, worldwide competitivity, food security, labour shortage, and ...

Approaches to More Efficient Vineyard Management
HortScience, 1985 Abstract Grapevines are not free standing and therefore must be provided with a support system to produce an economically commercial crop. Grapes traditionally have been trained and modified to provide a support system for production, but these systems have not necessarily been well-suited to mechanization. Currently, there is a major

Characterizing the Intra-Vineyard Variation of Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Vineyard soil microbial communities potentially mediate grapevine growth, grape production as well as wine terroir. Simultaneously assessing shifts of microbial community composition at the intra-vineyard scale allows us to decouple correlations among ...

Vineyard Leaf Canopy Management: Timing of the First Hedge-Trimming
IVES Technical ReviewsDelaying the date of the first hedge-trimming (or ‘tip-pruning’) is of limited technical value in vineyard canopy management. The impact of the delay on lateral shoot growth and must composition remains marginal within the context of the La Côte ...

Response of Soil Microbial Biomass and Activity to Cover Crop Incorporation Methods
AgronomyCover crop management in vineyards under a semiarid Mediterranean environment needs strategies that enhance soil C and N status and microbial functioning without increasing disturbance. This study compared cover crops biomass incorporation (harrowing, HR;

Satellite Monitoring of Italian Vineyards and Spatio-Temporal Variability Assessment
AgriEngineeringSentinel-2 (S2) is widely considered a reliable satellite constellation for monitoring several crops, such as grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). A large dataset of Italian vineyards randomly chosen was monitored with S2 from 2017 to 2022.

Wild microbial communities shaping the spontaneous fermentation of biodynamic Malbec wine
OENO OnePrior to the industrialisation of winemaking, spontaneous fermentation was the only option available to wineries, relying exclusively on native micro-organisms from the vineyard due to the absence of commercial inoculants.

Groundcovers Alter Vineyard Soil Microbiomes Within and Beyond Their Rooting Zones
Phytobiomes JournalGroundcovers are increasingly planted in perennial cropping systems to improve soil health. In vineyards, grass groundcovers can influence many edaphic properties, yet the effects of these groundcovers on bulk soil microbiomes remain unclear. We examined

Plastic covering and double pruning mitigate climate challenges in cv. Sauvignon blanc vineyards
OENO OneAdvances in viticultural management techniques have become increasingly important for mitigating the effects of challenging climatic conditions. The double-pruning technique is already widely used in Brazilian vineyards, enabling a shift of the harvest ...
