The Vitis CIDA team deals with many aspects related to the viticulture production within the context of Sustainable Agriculture: the effect of both the environmental conditions and the cultivation techniques on the vineyard.
The research projects carried out by the VitisGESTION team are related to:
- - The relation between soil management sustainability and the quality of the grape and wine production, dealing with: The relationship between the terroir and the grape and wine quality. Viticultural zonification. Soil cartography.
- - Sustainable viticulture practices and strategies for adaptation to climate change. Balance of emissions of greenhouse effect gases in viticulture soils.
- - The preservation of genetic resources of grape varieties of the Rioja apellation and clonal selection based on viticulture and oenology potential.
- - Agronomic and oenology characterization of varieties and clones, new varieties, and minority grape varieties.
- - Strategies for vine rational fertilization. Diagnosis methods to assess the nutritional status of the vineyard. Evaluation of different viticulture and agri-food residues as fertilizers or organic soil amendments.
- - Strategies for an efficient water management in the vineyard. Relations between water management, vineyard production, and must and wine quality.
- - Preservation and management of vineyard soils. Cover crops and mixed techniques used to preserve soil quality.
- - Vine training systems. Yield management strategies and shoot vigour control. Enhancement of leaf and bunch microclimate.
