Over the past two decades, Swiss wine-crafting professionals (vignerons) have increasingly turned their attention toward a ‘holistic’ and ecosystemic understanding of vineyards. Among them, growing professional segment has engaged in an esoteric agronomy inspired by Rudolf Steiner: Biodynamics. This approach is illustrative Bron Taylor’s dark green religion applied to agronomy. ethnographic stu...

Functional-structural plant models (FSPM) simulate plant development and growth, usually accompanied with visualization of the plant 3D architecture. GreenLab is a generic and mechanistic FSPM: various botanical architectures can be produced by its organogenesis model, and the plant growth is governed by the competition on biomass among growing organs. A distinguished feature of GreenLab model ...

One of the stakes of Observox, an observatory of agricultural practices, is to deal with imperfect spatial information and to always associate a quality evaluation to acquired or computed data. So, we introduce the notion of fuzzy geographical entities. Then, we consider both spatial and quantitative information in order to obtain fuzzy local quantitative information. This paper proposes a new ...

The exogenous application of natural metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, is a useful strategy to stimulate growth and reduce the adverse effects abiotic stress on crops, salinity. Salinity one most damaging stresses plants, causing reductions in by changes physiology, biochemistry, gene expression. In this work, we investigated effect foliar flavonoids (CropBioLife, CBL) control salt-stres...
