Exploring the Impact of Vascular Alignment and Grafting on Grapevine Physiology and Growth Open
Grafting has been fundamental in viticulture since the phylloxera crisis of the late 19th century; nevertheless, the functional consequences of vascular connection on the graft union remain poorly understood. The effects of grafting on Vit…

Comparison of the Performance of Vertical Trellising Systems in Grapevine Rootstock Mother Fields Open
Rootstock mother fields supply the cuttings used in the grafted grapevine propagation process, and their productivity is essential for the nursery production. In southern Europe, mother fields are usually managed with a ground-level prunin…

Four‐year field study reveals variable effects of phytohormone‐ and natural‐based elicitors on anthocyanin metabolism in Tempranillo grapes Open
OBJECTIVES/BACKGROUND Climate change has raised concerns about the imbalance between anthocyanin and sugar levels in grapevines. High temperatures tend to reduce anthocyanin content by inhibiting its synthesis and increasing degradation, w…

Respectful pruning in young vineyards: impact on growth and potential implications Open
In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in grapevine pruning. This growing focus has emerged as a response to the long-term issues that poor pruning practices have caused in vineyards. Decades of neglecting fundamental pri…

Effects of hormone- and natural-based elicitors at the transcriptomic level in berries of cv. Tempranillo Open
One of the most important effects of climate change in wine-growing areas is the advance of phenological stages, especially concerning early berry ripening. In the hottest seasons, this results in a lack of synchrony between sugar and phen…
View article: Cover crops under-vine impact on grapevine performance and vineyard soil microorganisms is highly affected by edaphoclimatic conditions at a regional scale
Cover crops under-vine impact on grapevine performance and vineyard soil microorganisms is highly affected by edaphoclimatic conditions at a regional scale Open
Soil management through cover crops can influence the cycle of nutrients, promote water infiltration, decrease erosion, and enhance the soil microbiota biodiversity, improving the grapevine performance. However, the area under the vines te…

Impact of mycorrhizal inoculation of ‘Monastrell’ grapevines grafted onto different conventional vs. newly breed rootstocks Open
Grafting Vitis vinifera L. (wine traditional cultivars) onto North American grapevine species or hybrids is a common practice in viticulture given their tolerance against phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae). However, rootstock genetic b…

Nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N): a nearly unexplored indicator that provides useful information in viticulture Open
The study of the natural abundance of nitrogen-stable isotopes is an aspect of viticulture research that has received limited attention. While stable isotopes of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen have received significant attention, nitrogen iso…

Respectful Pruning Improves Grapevine Development: A Case Study in Young Vineyards Open
Grapevine pruning is an agronomical operation required to regulate growth and yield, improve fruit quality, and maintain plant health and vigour. However, the intensification of the crop in the last decades, driven by efforts to increase p…

Intracultivar genetic diversity in grapevine: Water use efficiency variability within cv. Grenache Open
The selection of genotypes best adapted to environmental conditions has traditionally focused on agronomic and grape composition parameters. However, to classify the genotypes most adapted to climate change conditions, the aim must be to f…

Grape Cluster Detection Using UAV Photogrammetric Point Clouds as a Low-Cost Tool for Yield Forecasting in Vineyards Open
Yield prediction is crucial for the management of harvest and scheduling wine production operations. Traditional yield prediction methods rely on manual sampling and are time-consuming, making it difficult to handle the intrinsic spatial v…

Monitoring Vineyard Canopy Management Operations Using UAV-Acquired Photogrammetric Point Clouds Open
Canopy management operations, such as shoot thinning, leaf removal, and shoot trimming, are among the most relevant agricultural practices in viticulture. However, the supervision of these tasks demands a visual inspection of the whole vin…
