The first day will be more addressed to scientists and will be divided into two sessions: managing drought and berry quality in a context of climate change; managing pests and diseases in vineyards through resistant varieties and innovating low input practices. Keynote speakers will be invited to present the ‘state on the art’ or other perspectives on these two topics. The second day will be mainly targeted to winegrowers and technical advisers and will deal with the Decision Support Systems (DSSs) developed during the project and the viticultural techniques that are ready to be put into practice. DSSs demonstrations and tasting sessions of experimental wines made during Innovine will be organized in small groups in the afternoon. It will be a unique opportunity to taste a wide range of resistant or tolerant cultivars bred in several European countries (France, Germany, Italy…).

They were recorded in May 2015 during Enoforum that took place in Vincenza, North East of Italy. The Innovine dedicated session started with a presentation of the project objectives and structure by Olivier Geffroy from the French partner IFV. The overall plan of activities and the network of project partners were described. The first technical presentation was then given by Stefano Poni, Director of the Department of Sustainable Crop Production, Catholic University of Piacenza and leader of the project workpackage 2 "Design of optimized vineyard practices to reduce pesticides". Prof. Poni offered the congress audience a seminar on the difficult coexistence between tradition and innovation, showing some data issued from INNOVINE inserted in the context of his pluridecennial experience in canopy management and vine physiology. Prof. Vittorio Rossi, scientist pathologist owing to the same department of the Catholic University of Piacenza, developed the topic of DSS (Decision Support Systems) as important tool allowing to optimize the strategy of defense of the vineyard against pathogens, with reduction of chemical use, increase of efficiency of the treatment, and positive environmental and economic effects. The Vite.net system, developed within a previous project, is further improved in INNOVINE by applying it in a variety of climatic and social conditions.

Measurements made on 132 inflorescences showed a good correlation (R2=0.91) between the manual counted and calculated through image processing numbers of flowers. This innovating app provides winegrowers and technical advisers with a new early indicator of the bunch size. Based on the information provided by the app, winegrowers can adapt the vineyard management to reach the targeted yields at harvest. It will also help them together with researchers in viticulture to calculate the rate of berry set (percentage of flowers that gave berries). The app is available for free for android system based smartphones on the Play Store platform. To learn more about the app, download the article published in the proceedings of the 19th International Giesco Symposium or contact Javier Tardaguila.

Efficacy of sanitation has been previously evaluated in Northern Italy and the application of the biofungicide AQ10® WG based on Ampelomyces quisqualis gave good results when it was applied late in the growing season. The fungus conidia were able to parasitize the powdery mildew spores which halved disease severity on bunch until the pea-sized berries stage in the following season. The research works conducted in Innovine showed that the Ampelomyces spraying couldn’t be combined with copper applications that had a depreciative effect on the biocontrol agent populations. Additionally, we showed that pre-germination in water for 12 hours increases the germination rate of Ampelomyces.

These grapevines are used to develop tolerant or partially resistant varieties to these pathogens and new breeding strategies aim at pyramiding these resistances. The term ‘monogenic’ refers to varieties containing one gene of resistance for downy and for powdery mildews while ‘polygenic’ designs cultivars having several genes with the most advanced varieties containing 2+2 genes. For Black rot, a secondary disease that should emerge with the expansion of resistant varieties and the reduction of the spraying targeted against downy mildew, sources of resistance in grapevine are very rare and limited to the Börner rootstock. Research works carried out during Innovine by the Research Institute for Viticulture and Enology (PTE) in Hungary allowed a reliable screening for Black rot resistance of 58 Georgian Vitis vinifera varieties and 64 interspecific and Vitis vinifera cultivars in 2015. Results are very encouraging as 3 of the tested varieties didn’t show any symptoms which open the way to the identification of novel sources of Black rot resistance. To learn more about the works conducted on black rot resistance, contact Sarolta Hoffmann Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:38:00 +0100 http://www.innovine.eu/news-events/details-actus.html?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=961 The third Innovine annual meeting took place in Plovdiv - Bulgaria - from the 22nd until the 24th of February. ENTAV/IFV took advantage of the presence of about 50 researchers in the same place representing a large concentration of grey matter, to organize two brainstorming sessions. The first one on new technologies allowed to establish a complete list all the sensors and DSSs dedicated to viticulture available on the market. It also allowed to identify some viticultural or agricultural parameters that can still not be assessed in field by sensors (i.e. water deficit, N, P and K in soil and leaves). During the second workshop, three main issues specific to partially resistant varieties to powdery and downy mildews were identified: 1) Maintaining the durability of the resistance, 2) Managing secondary pests and diseases, 3) Enhancing the acceptance of these new varieties by winegrowers, consumers and policy makers. All the researchers agree with the fact that it will be necessary in order to avoid eroding the resistance and selecting heavy virulent strains of pathogens, to maintain a minimal level of spraying. These sprayings that shouldn’t exceed 2-3 treatments over the whole growing period will aim at reducing the pressure of pathogens. To position them optimally and accurately, DSS and epidemiologic models adapted to resistant cultivars will be very useful. The research works carried out by a PhD student supervised by Horta in the framework of Innovine are very promising with this regard.

While Sangiovese has been described as an anisohydric variety, Montepulciano is known to have a near-isohydric behaviour. Montepulciano leaves showed almost complete stomatal closure at higher leaf and stem water potentials than Sangiovese. Transcriptomics works conducted by the University of Verona allowed to study the expression of 1000 genes in samples from these two varieties collected at different time point after a water stress was applied. Differences in responses were observed between the two cultivars. Several genes were upregulated by the stress and down regulated by the re-watering for Montepulciano. For Sangiovese, the same conclusion couldn’t be drawn. The detailed results of this study that will be published soon will bring new insights on the mechanisms involved in the plant response to drought stresses. To learn more about the plant response to drought stress, contact Giovanni Battista Tornielli Thu, 03 Mar 2016 14:04:00 +0100 http://www.innovine.eu/news-events/details-actus.html?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=959 The Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) from Piacenza in Italy is involved directly or indirectly through Horta, its spin-off company, in several activities conducted in InnoVine. Main contributions include the improvement of epidemiological models and the assessment of vineyard management and canopy manipulation techniques to enhance the plant resistance to cryptogamic diseases and to mitigate undesired climate-related effects. The outcomes obtained from the project helped the University to activate next September a new Master in English dedicated to innovation in Viticulture and Enology.

Given the socio-economic impact of wine production, the specific influence of climate on viticulture and wine quality, and the key issues of localization and innovations in this industry, it is worthwhile to explore not only the impacts of climate change on vine and wine but also the current and future adaptation strategies. Depending on the viticultural area under consideration, adaptation obviously raises distinct scientific issues. In all cases, however, it is clear that effective adaptation strategies will require a combination of different disciplines, technologies and approaches in both natural and social sciences. Resonate this context, INRA is pleased to invite you in Bordeaux under the auspices of the INRA ACCAF Meta-Program (Adaptation to Climate Change for Agrosystems and Forestry, projects LACCAVE and PERPHECLIM) to share common knowledge base on climate change issues, as well as gathering data, defining adaptation strategies and providing decision rules to address the critical issue of climate change adaptation for the wine industry. The 3-day symposium is planned in four sessions: a) climate characterization and modelling at different scale and time levels, b) impacts of climate change on vine, wine and environment, c) possible adaptation strategies, d) evaluation of consumer perception and producer strategies. Researchers are invited to present and discuss their leading edge research in this forum. INRA really hopes to meet you in Bordeaux in 2016!! This symposium will be followed by two options for post-congress tours in Alsace or Languedoc Roussillon.More information on https://colloque.inra.fr/climwine2016 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:31:00 +0200 http://www.innovine.eu/news-events/details-actus.html?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=843 An InnoVine training day will be organized on 29 June in Portugal in order to present some results of the project. 5 partners of the InnoVine will be involved (Horta, Noveltis, ISA, ITQB, Agriciencia) Don't miss it !

This Optimized Treatment Plan (PTO®) based on precision viticulture and data collection in vineyard (soil resistivity, NDVI…) was experimented at Domaine Léoville Las Cases in Bordeaux during the 2014 vintage. By analyzing the relationships between diseases and the explanatory factors, some correlations can be highlighted. If mildew severities on leaves cannot be explained by any of the studied parameters, infections of clusters seem to be related to biomass (NDVI). The soil factor appears to be determinant for explaining powdery mildew and black rot on clusters.

InnoVine results will be presented during some of them: The 19th International Symposium GiESCO (Group of international Experts of vitivinicultural Systems for CoOperation), 31 May - 5 June 2015, Gruissan (France)The 2nd International Workshop on Vineyard Mechanization and Grape and Wine Quality, 26-29 July 2015, Fredonia (USA)The 10th International Symposium of Enology of Bordeaux, 29 June-1 July 2015, Bordeaux (France)International Cool Climate Wine Symposium, 26-28 May 2016, Brighton (England)The 10th International Symposium on Grapevine Physiology and Biotechnology, 12-17 June 2016, Verona (Italy)The 8th International Workshop on Anthocyanins, 16-18 September 2015, Montpellier (France)Intervitis/Interfructa/Hortitechnica, 27-30 November 2016, Stuttgart (Germany) Tue, 10 Mar 2015 07:56:00 +0100 http://www.innovine.eu/news-events/details-actus.html?no_cache=1&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=783 In the framework of the INNOVINE project, NOVELTIS developed a tool for precision viticulture. This new tool is based on remotely sensed images (satellite, airborne or UAV data can be managed) and provides wine growers with a comprehensive set of key parameters used for precision viticulture related to each individual plot: Orientation and distance between rows, missing plants (location and percentage), vigor (only for present crops) and relative heterogeneity, sunshine potential of the area. Examples of the outputs are provided on the right. A webmapping interface is under development and will be available by July 2015. This interface will be password protected and accessible 24/7 through PC or tablets. It will allow wine growers to have an easy access to the data and to handle historical data, ensuring regular monitoring of the vines.

WP4 designs new management systems by integrating knowledge gained in InnoVine and by capitalising on already existing projects (FP7 PURE, Spanish CENIT DEMETER, French EcoViti, and European CORE ORGANIC II). A design-assessment cycle has been adopted to ensure validation and improvement of the innovative sustainable vineyard systems. The first step achieved in 2014 was to define Sets of Objectives and Constraints or SOCs (i.e. level of pest and disease pressure, soil characteristics, objectives of production) for the main types of European viticulture, interacting with relevant stakeholders. 48 different SOCs which are still under improvement were defined: France (24), Spain (18), Germany (1), Italy (4) and Bulgaria (1).

Agri-Ciência set up and improved his existing system for collecting data from multiple sources (meteorological data via webservice, plant via phyto sensors and soil via soil sensors), using last generation sensors, wireless communications and web services for viticulture at farm level. A Business Intelligence approach was developped regarding the manipulation and delivery of useful information. The data were extracted from the sensors, loaded, stored and processed in a database (data warehouse) before to be delivered to a digital dashboard, accessible via a web browser and created to visualize and manipulate the data. In collaboration with the other partners of the project, the next task will aim at correlating the collected data to other ecophysiological parameters. A model to estimate predawn leaf water potential using soil moisture data and DSS developed in the framework of the project will also be created. Mon, 09 Mar 2015 16:39:00 +0100
