The use of plastic film to promote early cultivation is common by small farmers in Northern China for out of season facility fresh grape production, but the lack of effective technical indicators, sensors and temperature control techniques for facility temperature management has resulted in high...

Intensive and extensive cultivation of grapes leads to a serious pest problem in major grape-growing areas of the world. The climate in India is ideally suited for the high production of table and wine grapes as well as a high prevalence of several pests. Among different insect pests, adult flea...

More than a thousand pesticides of both chemical and biological nature are used around the world to minimize crop losses. The study was conducted to assess the perception of farmers on pesticide use behaviour in the grape crop. Eighty farmers cultivating grapes were selected by a simple random...

The regular patterns of volatile composition and relative content were analyzed with dynamic headspace bagging-adsorption and GC-MS technology in 'High Noon' of tree peony cultivar. The results showed that 34 compounds were detected and the sequences of the total relative content of the volatiles...

In order to explore the effects of abscisic acid(ABA)on monoterpene synthesis in grape berries, this study used table grape species 'Jingxiangyu' with muscat flavor as experimental material, and soaked the clusters with 300 mg . L-1 ABA twice at one week before and during veraison. The contents of...

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape ecotypes caused by continuous habitat fragmentation. Then, domestication occurred concurrently about 11,000 years ago ...

Local studies on the sustainability of grapevine cultivation in the province of San Juan, Argentina, have shown that the traditional management of the crop is highly unsustainable. This is due to inadequate soil management, biodiversity loss and a 100% dependence on external inputs. Under this...

Old vines are not only the history of our wines, they also tell us about our culture and our past, about the landscapes of our land. Furthermore, with their unique identities, these ancient vinestocks hold genetic treasures that can contribute to the continuity of an agriculture that enjoys a...

Increasing labor and input costs have driven wine grape (Vitis vinifera) growers' attention to mechanized equipment to assist in vineyard operations. This study evaluates the financial feasibility of investing in vineyard mechanization, in addition to the released intelligent sprayer in...

Although helpful in treating cancer, exposure to ionizing radiation can sometimes cause severe side effects, negating its benefit. In addition to its use in clinics, a nontoxic radioprotective agent can also be beneficial in occupational settings where humans are occupationally exposed for...
