Soil organic matter (SOM) is considered a fundamental element for the vitality of agricultural soils. The depletion SOM main concern grape-growing compartment as increase mechanical approach fastening its degradation. loss in vineyard soils lead to decrease yield and quality products consequence reduction soil chemical biological fertility. In order contrast erosion, research aiming at finding ...

Abstract Warm and semi-arid climates are characterized by rainfall scarcity, resulting in the frequent use of low-quality water for irrigation. This work was undertaken to study effects stress saline irrigation on yield grape composition Monastrell grapevines grafted onto 1103P rootstock. The experiment carried out during three consecutive seasons a commercial vineyard located Jumilla (SE Spain...

An exotic plant cultural landscape inventory, area wide survey, and natural resource area invasiveness assessment was conducted in 2002 at the Roosevelt-Vanderbilt (ROVA) National Historic Sites (NHS) in Hyde Park, NY. At the species level, 40% of 90 assessed landscape species had not escaped cultivation, 44% had escaped and invaded natural resource areas, and 16% were categorized as migratory ...

A site was prepared with 2 distinctly different soil depths and a vineyard of 'Concord' grapes (Vitis labrusca L.) was established with in-row spacings of 1.52, 1.83, 2.13, 2.44, and 3.05 m. Wider in-row vine spacings resulted in increased vine yields on deeper soils to the point that yields per meter of cordon and per hectare were not reduced; but yield per meter of cordon and per hectare was ...

Abstract The General Beale Pilot Project serves as a case study for the use of areawide monitoring and treatment programs glassy-winged sharpshooter (GWSS), Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar), roguing grapevines infected with Xylella fastidiosa, to achieve regional management Pierce’s disease. is located in southeast Kern County, CA, contains ~2,800 ha citrus grown within approximately 50 km2. Fo...

Due to the particularity of continental monsoon climate in China, more than 90% wine grape cultivation areas require vines be buried winter for a burial period that can extend half year. Additionally, traditional vine practices expose surface soil during winter, easily leading erosion. To meet restrictive factors viticulture Chinese cold zone, new sustainable strategy called crawled cordon mode...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Covering whole vines with shade cloth is used to protect the vines from heat stress, but may have costs on vine productivity through reduced light availability. Our aim was to assess the carbon balance of vines growing with and without shade to quantify the impact of the covering. METHODOLOGY Whole vines were covered with 70 % shade cloth, and shoot leaf area and leaf, ste...
