Vine vigour involves the production capacity of the vine. Production capacity encompasses shoot and leaf production, as well as grape production. It would benefit grape production systems to find the correct balance between the vegetative growth (shoot and leaf “production”) and reproductive development (grape production). One could optimise vine performance by improving vine balance. Vine bala...

Wine grape quality and quantity are affected by vine growing conditions during critical phenological stages. Field observations of vine growth stages are too sparse to fully capture the spatial variability of vine conditions. In addition, traditional grape yield prediction methods are time consuming and require large amount grape samples. Remote sensing data provide detailed spatial and tempora...

decorative arts have got a special place in iranian architecture traditionally. these types of arts are the symbol of nation's ethnics and indigenous features and also express the artist's feelings of those times. stucco is one type of the decorative arts that has decorated many buildings -especially palaces-that belong to the pre-islamic period and also mosques that built in the isla...

A good pairing is based on the complementary role of wine on the four important factors of food: components, textures, flavors and colors. Common wine and food examples of food preparation with wine or vine products, such as grapes or vine leaves, exemplify numerous similarities and contrasting characteristics in those four parameters, which we can find in an enjoyable meal. The knowledge of th...

Late-season dehydration is known as a type of berry shrivel and it often associated with wine grapes. This study different from other studies focuses on seedless grape cv. Sultan 7 (Vitis vinifera L.) aims to determine the effects pruning levels (90, 150, 180 buds per vine), leaf removal (LR) (25%, 50% shoot) treatments vine yield, number harvested clusters. Additionally, we aim find unhealthy ...

We present a vision system that automatically predicts yield in vineyards accurately and with high resolution. Yield estimation traditionally requires tedious hand measurement, which is destructive, sparse in sampling, and inaccurate. Our method is efficient, high-resolution, and it is the first such system evaluated in realistic experimentation over several years and hundreds of vines spread o...

UNLABELLED Grapevine is a well-studied, economically relevant crop, whose associated bacteria could influence its organoleptic properties. In this study, the spatial and temporal dynamics of the bacterial communities associated with grapevine organs (leaves, flowers, grapes, and roots) and soils were characterized over two growing seasons to determine the influence of vine cultivar, edaphic par...

BACKGROUND The determination of micro-, macroelements and heavy metals in the soil-grapevine-wine system is extremely important for the wine industry, the grape and wine quality, and also for consumer health. The quantitative analysis of 10 elements: Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, Co were made in soil at different depths and also in grapevines (leaves and canes). For grape juice and wine t...
