Getting ready for harvesting in the Northern Hemisphere? With this in mind, we have selected several articles that cover essential topics for wine growers during this key time of the year. Discover a selection of 5 articles published in IVES Technical Reviews to read while planning for what comes next!
Topics covered:
- Vineyard yield estimation: An important tool for preparing harvesting operations.
- Botrytis contamination: After the harvest, grape musts can be exposed to this contamination. Discover effective methods to prevent it and ensure optimal quality in your production.
- Vine water status: Two articles explore the importance of vine water status, a key factor that impacts both yield and berry composition. This evaluation can be carried out during the harvest period, allowing you to adjust future viticultural practices for even better-controlled production.
