Multispectral imagery acquired from a UAV to assess the spatial variability of a Tempranillo vineyard

open access: yes, 2013
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are a novel and flexible tool in precision viticulture, as they can be used to acquire useful information to evaluate the spatial variation of vegetative growth, yield components and grape quality.

Grapevine and cover crop spectral response to evaluate vineyard spatio-temporal variability [PDF]

open access: yes
The use of cover crops in vineyards is considered a management strategy that contributes to improving soil structure. Remote sensing techniques of cover crops provide information on spatial variability that can be useful in precision viticulture.

Winegrowers' Perceptions and Adoption of Sustainable Soil Management Practices and Technologies: A Case Study in Piedmont, Italy

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soil is crucial for human survival but is threatened by erosion and contamination. Farmers play a pivotal role in soil conservation, thus, understanding what influences their decisions is crucial. The IN‐GEST SOIL project aimed to mitigate soil erosion and improve soil and vine quality in Piedmont vineyards, NW Italy.

The Role of Intrinsic Quality in Reducing Consumer Xenocentrism: Evidence From a New World Wine Market

open access: yesPsychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Through technological advances in winemaking, New World wine‐producing countries have achieved wines of comparable or superior quality relative to traditional European producers. Nevertheless, the symbolic value associated with European wines may still outweigh that of domestic products, particularly in countries where historical sociocultural

Assessing opportunities for selective winery vintage with a market-driven composite index

open access: yesCogent Food & Agriculture, 2017
An opportunity index (OISV) is proposed for selective vine harvest management to ensure vineyard sustainability making use of precision farming technologies. Vigour maps derived from remote sensors are the basis of the method. In terms of validation, the

Dimensioning the Irrigation Variables for Table Grape Vineyards in Litho-soils

open access: yesItalian Journal of Agronomy, 2010
The pedo-climatic and farm characteristics of Bari’s hinterland have allowed for the diffusion of prestigious table viticulture. The typical “tendone” vineyard structure is set up after managing the surface of the soil. The karstic nature of the region and the thermo-rainfall trend during the vegetative season impede the vineyard from producing ...

Genomic structure and ex situ conservation of the North American grapevine Vitis labrusca

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The North American wild grapevine species Vitis labrusca is an important source of disease resistance and climate resilience traits for breeding new grapevine cultivars. To ensure its continued use in breeding, V. labrusca must be accurately identified and genetically diverse material must be conserved.

Within-vineyard temperature variability in the Jazbina hills of Croatia

open access: yes, 2019
Monitoring the temperature within the vineyard during the season is important for controling the maturation and planing various production activities in the vineyard. The study displays a description of the spatial variability of the temperature within the vineyard, since it has a strong effect on grape ripening and quality of the grapes.

Weeds in a changing climate: Competitors or service plants?

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Reducing herbicide use and preparing agroecosystems for climate change are two top priorities on the global policy agenda. Here, we explore whether these two challenges can be tackled simultaneously. While weeds are generally considered a threat to crop production, we show that weeds can help overcome climate change challenges in agroecosystems ...
