Evaluation of Nitrogen Management Schemes upon Vine Performance in Cover Cropped Vineyards
Vineyards in the Eastern United States are often prone to excessive vegetative growth. In order to suppress excessive vine vigor, many viticulturists have employed cover cropping strategies. Cover crops provide a myriad of agronomic benefits, however they are known to compete with the vine for …

Reflective mulch effects on the grapevine environment, Pinot noir vine performance, and juice and wine characteristics
Reflective mulches were applied in a cool climate vineyard in Canterbury, New Zealand. Materials used were waste products: mussel shells (MS) and green (GG) and clear (CG) recycled crushed glass. A control of bare soil was also included. MS and CG were light coloured while GG and CON were dark. …

The Effects of Cluster Thinning on Vine Performance, Fruit, and Wine Composition of Pinot Noir (Clone 115) in the Edna Valley of California
… three-year study was conducted at a commercial vineyard site in California’s Edna Valley AVA to evaluate the physiological and agronomical effects of the timing of cluster thinning on Pinot noir (clone 115) grapevines. Vines were thinned to one cluster per shoot at three selected time-points …

Identification of clone x rootstock effects on cold hardiness and relevant dehydrins changes in Cabernet franc (Vitis vinifera L.)
Cold injury can harm grapevines and severely reduce yields in cool-climate regions. Previous studies indicate bud cold hardiness differences among Vitis vinifera cultivars, but comparatively, little attention has been given to the effect of clone and rootstock. This study investigates the bud cold …

Developing and Assessing Different Cordon Establishment Techniques for Long-Term Vineyard Management
… permanent cordon training techniques on vine performance in the years immediately following cordon establishment. The treatments included cordons that were wrapped very tightly around their supporting wire, a method common in Australia and certain other winegrowing regions, as well as …
