Abstract This climate manipulation prototype is a tool that helps monitor vine condition and automatically carries out the treatment. The design of this can also make it easier to care for plants remotely. plant state be controlled with android application which display in real-time. type research & development uses waterfall model, has stages: analysis, design, coding, testing. Based on re...

Studying changes in partitioning of dry matter and nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) content both aboveground underground perennial tissues drought-affected grapevines could provide insights into plant response carbon allocation strategies during stress periods. The analysis soluble NSC starch leaf petioles, due to their role hydraulic segmentation, should also be considered. In the present res...

There is a major research effort throughout the world to modify grapevines so that viticultural practices can be economically mechanized while maintaining or improving yield and quality. To use machines successfully for shoot positioning, pruning, harvesting, and other grape production operations, trellis systems must be devised and shoots positioned to accommodate precise mechanical movement (...

Grapevine trunk diseases affect 13 % of French vineyards and esca has become more prevalent in recent decades (Grosman & Doublet 2012). Fussler et al. (2008) reported that an average 3.25 vines are affected by esca. Management these vines, considered unproductive, often consists cutting off the symptomatic arm or uprooting vine. In this competitive environment, it is difficult for a newly p...

On the basis of the antennal characters, the entire eye, and the tuft of pleural hair on the prothorax, Schedl (1962:85) erected the genus Nemopagiocerus for his Eupagiocerus nevermanni. This species and the two described below as new were studied in the field, and all three species were compared to the type of dentipes Blandford All three species breed in the pith of woody vines where they hav...
