«Hot» topics between ‘tradition’ and ‘innovation’

Brand, cultivar, appellation and…vineyard efficiency.Climate change: geographical redistribution of cultivarsand/or adaptation of cultural practices?Irrigation: a still quite neglected factor of grape quality and flexibility in vineyard management.Mechanisation: clear target not reached yet; – is costreduction bound to unchanged yield/quality ratio?Genotype x environment interaction: ‘omics’ and physiologymust work together. Resistant varieties?New technologies: PV, modelling, decision support systems.

Figure 2. Vertical bars represent the daily water use (E, mm/day) for the un-mowed cover crop (UMG), mowed cover crop (MG), and bare soil (ST) measured using the mini-lysimeters (MLs). ML measurements

were taken the day before mowing (-1) and during the 28-day period following the mowing (1-28). Points (●) indicate the daily average solar radiation (W/m2). E data are mean values ±S.E. (n = 12). Arrows indicate the

occurrence of rain events.

Water Balance Model

2011

Some definitions…..........

Potential evapotraspiration (ET0) - “water use per unit oftime by a uniform, non-stressed low cut grass cover”

Cultural coefficient (kc) - “fraction of water actually usedby the crop as related to ET0”

N.B. In semi-arid environments, Kc is about 80-85% of ET calculated from class A pan evaporimeter.

ETc = kc x ET0

Ove: ETc = actual crop evapotranspiration



26

The cultural coefficient (kc): how to estimate it?

A) Between row spacing = 3m

B) In the row spacing = 1.2 m

C) Area per vine = A x B = 3.6 m2

D) Width of ground shaded area = 1.00 m

E) Area of ground shaded area per vine = B x D = 1,2 m2

Fraction of shaded ground per vine (PSO) = E/C = (1,2/3,6*100) = 33 %

Kc = 33 x 0.017* = 0,56

Assuming a weekly ETp of a 45 mm, ETe will be: 45 x 0.56 = 25,2 mm

35

In California (San Joaquim, Napa and Sonoma Valley) the most common method for identifying the timing of first

irrigation is based on mid-day leaf water potential

On white cultivars, the threshold is around -10 bars (-1.0 MPa)

On red cultivars, the threshold is around -12 bars (-1.2 MPa)
