Influence of cover crop on water use and performance of vineyard in Mediterranean Portugal
Ana Monteiro,Carlos M. Lopes +1 more
TLDR
Grapevine yield, vigour, fruit quality and vineyard dynamics were studied in the Estremadura Region of Portugal with a Mediterranean oceanic bioclimate and the two sward treatments showed a significant, favourable reduction in vine vegetative growth.About:

Grapevine under deficit irrigation: hints from physiological and molecular data.
Maria Manuela Chaves,Maria Manuela Chaves,Olfa Zarrouk,Rita Francisco,J. M. Costa,J. M. Costa,Thiago de Santana Santos,Thiago de Santana Santos,A. P. Regalado,M. L. Rodrigues,Carlos M. Lopes +10 more
TL;DR: Rules under water deficit of genes and proteins of the various metabolic pathways responsible for berry composition and therefore wine quality are reviewed, and differences in this respect between grapevines varieties and experimental conditions are discussed.

Improving water use efficiency in grapevines: potential physiological targets for biotechnological improvement.
Jaume Flexas,Jeroni Galmés,Alexander Gallé,Javier Gulías,Alicia Pou,Miquel Ribas-Carbo,Magdalena Tomás,Hipólito Medrano +7 more
TL;DR: The physiological bases and future prospects for improving grape yield and WUE under drought are established and two main possible approaches to improve WUE in grapevines are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of climate change impacts on European viticulture
TL;DR: The mounting evidence for significant climate change in the upcoming decades urges adaptation and mitigation measures to be taken by the whole winemaking sector, and feasible adaptation measures are provided herein.

Spatial and temporal changes to the water regime of a Mediterranean vineyard due to the adoption of cover cropping
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of introducing a cover crop in terms of temporal and spatial changes to the water regime of a Mediterranean vineyard were studied over a 4-year period, and it was shown that a compensatory growth of the grapevine root system was revealed, thus partly prevented direct competition for resources between it and the intercrop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving water use efficiency of vineyards in semi-arid regions. A review
Hipólito Medrano,Magdalena Tomás,Sebastià Martorell,J.M. Escalona,Alicia Pou,Sigfredo Fuentes,Jaume Flexas,Josefina Bota +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of advances in grapevine water use efficiency related to changes in agronomical practices and genetic improvements is presented, focusing on increasing green water use by increasing soil water storage capacity, reducing direct soil water loss or limiting early transpiration losses.

Separation of sunlight and temperature effects on the composition of Vitis vinifera cv. Merlot berries
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that the phenolic profiles of berry skins from Vitis vinifera cv. were influenced by sun exposure and temperature in 1999 and 2000.

Irrigation of Agricultural Crops
B. A. Stewart,Donald R. Nielsen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for the irrigation of agricultural crops, which can be classified into three categories: water-intensive, water-efficient, and nonwater-efficient.

Influence of Light on Grape Berry Growth and Composition Varies during Fruit Development
N.K. Dokoozlian,W.M. Kliewer +1 more
TL;DR: Potted 'Cabernet Sauvignon' and 'Pinot noir' grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) grown in a sunlit phytotron were used to study the influence of cluster light exposure during various stages of fruit development on berry growth and composition as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Agronomic Practices on Weed Communities: Tillage Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used canonical discriminant analysis to predict an increased association of annual and perennial grasses, perennial dicot weeds, wind-disseminated species, and volunteer crops as weeds in reduced-tillage systems.

Long‐term tillage and crop rotation effects on weed seedbank size and composition
Paolo Bàrberi,B Lo Cascio +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggested that crop rotation and substitution of mouldboard ploughing by non-inversion tillage (especially by minimum tillage) would not result in increased weed problems, whereas use of no tillage might increase weed infestations because of higher seedling recruitment from the topsoil.
