Book excerpt: Grapevine is a crop of major economical interest, and wine represents a multicultural heritage which has been growing since several milleniums. Yet, modern viticulture must face several challenges. Global climate has increased berry sugar content (and alcohol in the wine) whereas phenolic and aromatic ripeness are not always achieved. Water supply is becoming shorter. New varieties better adapted to new climatic conditions might have to be planted, which may affect wine typicity. Phytochemical treatments are more controlled, and the consumer pays increasing attention to environmentally safe practices. New methods reducing pesticide use, but maintaining yield and typicity, must be designed. The present book illustrates the recent progress made in ecophysiology, molecular and cell biology, and pathology of grapevine, as well as in precision viticulture and berry composition. Combination of these new tools with field observations will undoubtly make it easier to face the challenges described above. These multidisciplinary contributions will be of interest to anyone involved in grapevine and wine activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grapes (Vitis spp.) are economically the most important fruit species in the world. Over the last decades many scientific advances have led to understand more deeply key physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects of grape berry maturation. However, our knowledge on how grapevines respond to environmental stimuli and deal with biotic and abiotic stresses is still fragmented. Thus, this area of research is wide open for new scientific and technological advancements. Particularly, in the context of climate change, viticulture will have to adapt to higher temperatures, light intensity and atmospheric CO2 concentration, while water availability is expected to decrease in many viticultural regions, which poses new challenges to scientists and producers. With Grapevine in a Changing Environment, readers will benefit from a comprehensive and updated coverage on the intricate grapevine defense mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stress and on the new generation techniques that may be ultimately used to implement appropriate strategies aimed at the production and selection of more adapted genotypes. The book also provides valuable references in this research area and original data from several laboratories worldwide. Written by 63 international experts on grapevine ecophysiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, the book is a reference for a wide audience with different backgrounds, from plant physiologists, biochemists and graduate and post-graduate students, to viticulturists and enologists.

Book excerpt: This book draws on an eight-year study carried out in the DOCG Prosecco area of Italy, a wine region known worldwide. It is unique in the sense that it is based on one of the most comprehensive investigations into terroir zoning ever performed in Italy. By drawing attention to the complex interrelations between environmental and human factors that influence the growth and production of the Glera grape, the study illustrates the distinct correlation between a wine and its ‘terroir’. It shows that the morphology of the sites, the meso and microclimate, the soil, the grapevine planting density, the trellising system, the yield of the vineyard, and the vine water status in the summer lead to unique combinations of grape maturity, acidity, and aroma that ultimately influence the sensory properties of the wines produced. Furthermore, the book details numerous technical and agronomic considerations, specific to the “Glera” grape variety, for different production strategies, including a section on the impact of climate change on cv “Glera” phenology. “The Power of the Terroir: the Case Study of Prosecco Wine” represents a valuable resource for anyone involved in studies or research activities in the fields of viticulture, climatology, agronomic sciences or soil sciences, but is also of interest to vine growers, professionals in the wine industry, and wine enthusiasts in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water a key natural resource, fundamental to life, livelihood, food security and sustainable development is rapidly becoming scarce and limited. Agriculture is the major water user in our country utilizing nearly 70-80 per cent of all the utilizable water resources of the country. Therefore, Agricultural Water Management (AWM) interventions aim at enhancing per capita benefits, while preventing the degradation of natural resource bases of land, water and ecosystem services. Evidence shows that AWM interventions have increased yields, which has helped areas with low productivity. In recent past a large number of new techniques and advanced tools have been invented in recent past which can enhance the water productivity in agriculture to a very high level. Knowledge adoption and extensive use of these tools and techniques needs proper dissemination. There is a dearth of ample number of technically trained manpower to undertake the work of On-farm AWM. Therefore, the present book has been organized with following specific objectives: i) to impart the advanced knowledge of On-farm water management using modern concepts, tools and techniques for assessing, planning and designing the AWM (irrigation and drainage) systems and to disseminate these techniques for enhancing crop water use efficiencies; ii) to train the readers in designing, installation operation and automated operation, controls and management of high-tech irrigation water management systems; and iii). to provide the participants an opportunity to discuss and exchange the new ideas/knowledge with experts/resource persons who have contributed substantially in Agricultural Water Management (AWM). The book has a very wide spectrum covering almost all topics pertaining to advanced concepts and methods of modern Agricultural Water Management. The present book will provide to the readers an in-depth understanding of various related topics pertaining to highly efficient irrigation water management for crop production and enhancing agricultural water productivity such as scientific design and layout of farm irrigation and drainage, soil water content measurement using TDR/Neutron Moisture meters/Soil moisture probe, geophysical techniques of groundwater exploration etc. It will elaborate the concepts and methodology of using modern instruments and systems of irrigation such as drip, sprinkler, rain gun, level basin system etc. that would be an added benefit. Applications of modern techniques such as GIS and remote sensing applications for enhancing water resources use efficiencies in irrigation project, sensor based weather data collection and automated irrigation management and control systems under open field and covered cultivation have been explained in depth. The book shall impart the comprehensive knowledge on advanced concepts in Soil-Plant-Climate interactions, scientific estimation of crop water demand, various irrigation scheduling criterions and application of modern tools and techniques such as; application of computer softwares (such as EQUITA/DRIPD/CROPWAT/AQACROP/IMPASSE/USAR etc.) for irrigation planning and management; under different water supply scenarios in a lucid manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of viticulture and the winemaking socio-economic sector is acknowledged worldwide. The most renowned winemaking regions show very specific environmental characteristics, where climate usually plays a central role. Considering the strong influence of weather and climatic factors on grapevine yields and berry quality attributes, climate change may indeed significantly impact this crop. Recent trends already point to a pronounced increase in growing season mean temperatures, as well as changes in precipitation regimes, which have been influencing wine typicity across some of the most renowned winemaking regions worldwide. Moreover, several climate scenarios give evidence of enhanced stress conditions for grapevine growth until the end of the century. Although grapevines have high resilience, the clear evidence for significant climate change in the upcoming decades urges adaptation and mitigation measures to be taken by sector stakeholders. To provide hints on the abovementioned issues, we have edited a Special Issue entitled “Viticulture and Winemaking under Climate Change”. Contributions from different fields were considered, including crop and climate modeling, and potential adaptation measures against these threats. The current Special Issue allows for the expansion of scientific knowledge in these particular fields of research, as well as providing a path for future research.
