Toxins, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(6), С. 277 - 277

Опубликована: Июнь 17, 2024

Viticulture has been an important economic sector for centuries. In recent decades, global wine production fluctuated between 250 and almost 300 million hectoliters, in 2022, the value of exports reached EUR 37.6 billion. Climate change associated higher temperatures could favor occurrence ochratoxin A (OTA) wine. OTA is a mycotoxin produced by some species genera Aspergillus Penicillium nephrotoxic, immunotoxic, teratogenic, hepatotoxic, carcinogenic effects on animals humans. The presence this toxin related to type wine—red wines are more frequently contaminated with OTA—and geographical location vineyard. Europe, lower latitude, greater risk contamination However, climate increase other regions. Due their toxic effects, development effective environmentally friendly methods prevent, decontaminate, degrade essential. This review summarises available research biological aspects prevention, removal, degradation.

How Landscapes and History Shape Copper in Vineyard Soils: Example of Fruška Gora Region, Serbia

Land, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(1), С. 96 - 96

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2025

Vineyards are distinctive agroecosystems heavily influenced by local natural factors and traditional management practices, with significant implications for the quality quantity of grape production. This study investigated ecological impact copper-containing fungicides on accumulation distribution copper, manganese, chromium, cobalt in upper soil horizons vineyards varying ages Fruška Gora region, Serbia. The results indicated a marked difference total copper content across vineyards, oldest vineyard exhibiting levels 6.9 times above regulatory limit. Factor analysis delineated strong correlation between age while also highlighting influence landscape morphology spatial heavy metals. findings suggest that is primarily related to agricultural particularly duration fungicide application, other metals more closely associated topographic features. novelty our research lies fact we have shown assessment ecosystems should take into account not only viticultural practices but history land use characteristics area.

Improvements in the aromatic composition of Tempranillo Blanco grapes after being sprayed with three concentrations of urea either at pre-veraison or veraison

European Food Research and Technology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Abstract Primary aromas are important to define the quality of grapes and wines. This work studied effect foliar application urea in Tempranillo Blanco grapevines. The goal was assess applying three doses at two phenological stages (pre-veraison veraison) on volatile composition grapes, during seasons. treatments did not have an impact vineyard yield or general parameters grapes. Nevertheless, these modified grape composition. Specifically, lower dose improved terpenoids, C 13 norisoprenoids, benzenoid compounds. moment had a slight Moreover, concentration some terpenoids increased when applied veraison. Climatic conditions, especially warm dry weather, were main factors that compounds, stimulating synthesis norisoprenoids Consequently, applications low concentrations could be interesting viticulture practice order improve compounds musts.

Soil compaction in Northern Italian vineyards: challenges and mitigation strategies

Journal of Agricultural Engineering, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 13, 2025

Soil compaction presents significant challenges for perennial crops, which occupy the same land many years. The practice of arranging plants in rows and frequent use heavy machinery is leading to soil rut formation. A study conducted espaliers vineyards Northern Italy (Oltrepò, Lombardy region) examined effects grass-covered versus tilled inter-rows influence mechanical manual harvesting. was based on a series penetrometer resistance measurements throughout entire growing season. Early-season revealed values exceeding 4 MPa, surpassing 1-3 MPa threshold identified literature as limit root growth, grape quality, susceptibility pathogens. negative impact not limited ruts formed by agricultural but also affected adjacent areas. well-documented regeneration structure during cold season these cases inadequate alleviate observed. Furthermore, harvesting, particularly wet conditions, significantly exacerbated compaction, with indicating nearly 5 ruts. These findings underscore imperative implementing strategies aimed at mitigating adverse impacts vine health sustainability vineyards.

Monitoring Abiotic Stressors in Rainfed Vineyards Involves Combining UAV and Field Monitoring Techniques to Enhance Precision Management

Remote Sensing, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 17(5), С. 803 - 803

Future climate conditions may jeopardize the suitability of traditional grape-growing areas in Mediterranean. However, precise vineyard management is a crucial component adaptation strategies aimed at optimizing resource efficiency, which essential for sustainable farming practices. A fine-scale characterization, based on spatial variability soil’s physical–chemical and hydrological traits combined with temporal vine canopy temperature extracted from UAV thermal images has been adopted rainfed central Italy, better understanding impact soil abiotic factors planning precision encouraging use. This study identifies significant heterogeneity within tested vineyard, affecting water retention, nutrient availability, stress. We ground-based measurements remote sensing-enhanced data spatialization helped to advocate site-specific techniques as short- long-term (such management, deficit irrigation, compost application) counter emergencies, restore health, preserve function economic yields.

Soil conservation benefits of biochar in Mediterranean vineyards: enhancing soil sponge function and mitigating erosion

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 10, 2025

Soil erosion by water poses major environmental challenges to the European viticulture sector. Biochar is recognised as a sustainable tool for combating land degradation, but few studies have been conducted in Mediterranean vineyards with hilly terrain and heavy rainfall. This study assesses potential of biochar support soil conservation enhancing sponge function, i.e. retention infiltration, reducing erodibility sloping sandy loam under natural rainfall conditions. An 18-month outdoor box lysimeter experiment was using bare soil, including amended 4% (w/w) from Portuguese vineyard. Over monitoring period, application significantly (p<0.001) reduced runoff coefficient an average 45%. coarse fragment 67%, fine-earth 43%, splash 34%, all affected (p<0.05) intensity. The rate vineyard 3 times lower biochar-amended than control (3.7 vs. 11.1 t ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹). Improved structure led 7% reduction bulk density, increase 73% stored water, 28% infiltration rate. During drier periods, 171% 303% more soil. We recommend minimum period full hydrological cycle comprehensively capture effect on function. Observed seasonal trends atmospheric river (AR) events suggest that simulations without considering antecedent moisture AR variations will yield skewed data effects.

Evaluating Soil Degradation in Agricultural Soil with Ground-Penetrating Radar: A Systematic Review of Applications and Challenges

Agriculture, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15(8), С. 852 - 852

Опубликована: Апрель 15, 2025

Soil degradation is a critical challenge to global agricultural sustainability, driven by intensive land use, unsustainable farming practices, and climate change. Conventional soil monitoring techniques often rely on invasive sampling methods, which can be labor-intensive, disruptive, limited in spatial coverage. In contrast, non-invasive geophysical techniques, particularly ground-penetrating radar, have gained attention as tools for assessing properties. However, an assessment of radar’s applications research—particularly detecting structural changes related degradation—remains undetermined. To address this issue, systematic literature review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. A search across Scopus Web Science databases, well relevant articles study reference lists, up 31 December 2024. This process resulted 86 potentially studies, 24 met eligibility criteria were included final review. The analysis revealed that radar allows detection associated with tillage practices heavy machinery traffic lands, namely topsoil disintegration compaction, both are important indicators degradation. These variations reflected electrical permittivity reflectivity, above horizon. shifts lower water content, increased homogeneity, heightened wave reflectivity at upper boundary compacted soil. latter linked density contrasts waterlogging layer.
