Optimization of Vineyard Water Management: Challenges, Strategies, and Perspectives

Water availability is endangering the production, quality, and economic viability of growing wine grapes worldwide. Climate change projections reveal warming drying trends for upcoming decades, constraining sustainability viticulture. In this context, a great research effort over last years has been devoted to understanding effects water stress on grapevine performance. Moreover, irrigation scheduling other management practices have tested in order alleviate deleterious production. The current manuscript provides comprehensive overview advances optimizing vineyards, including use novel technologies (modeling, remote sensing). addition, methods assessing vine status are summarized. will focus interactions between biotic stressors. Finally, future perspectives provided. These include performance multifactorial studies accounting interrelations stressors, development cost-effective easy-to-use tool status, study less-known cultivars under different soil climate conditions.
