The reduction of #chemicals in #viticulture is one of the main challenges. Therefore the development of #pathogen #resistant #cultivars is highly demanded, and the so called #PIWI cultivars might play an important role in the future of viticulture. 🍇 The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) and the Institut Viti-vinicole (#IVV) are therefore inviting for the Luxemburger PIWI Tag at Remich on the 4th November. During the whole day winegrowers and scientists from Germany and Luxembourg will explain in nine presentations the importance of PIWIs as well as their function in modern viticulture. 🍷 Please find more information in the PDF and register here: https://lnkd.in/ef-q_jGJ #LISTEnvironment

🍇 New technical article "Gradient of #grapevine varietal susceptibility to #esca" on IVES Technical Reviews 🔗: https://lnkd.in/dnpZt92H 🔍 To study varietal susceptibility to esca, the authors recently analyzed the annual incidence of #leaf symptoms on an experimental plot (2017–2023) (Gastou et al., 2024) and from a trunk-disease monitoring network in France (2003–2023) (Etienne et al., 2024). 👉 This work confirmed very high variability in the incidence of esca between #grape varieties, both within French #wine regions and within the same plot, opening the debate on the factors responsible for this variability. ✏️ Authors: Pierre Gastou, Lucas Etienne, Lucia Guérin-Dubrana, Chloé Delmas INRAE SAVE Santé et Agroécologie du Vignoble / ISVV - Institut des Sciences de la Vigne et du Vin / Bordeaux Sciences Agro 🌐 Available in 6 languages: English, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Português.

We are proud members of the Almond Alliance and we're excited to be attending the 41st Annual Convention in Kauai, Hawaii. If you're attending, be sure to seek out our TELONE™ Specialist Brian Hegland, who will be onsite to answer all of your nematode questions! Almond growers know that nematodes are a big problem, so it's vital to prep the #soil ahead of planting orchards. There are three major species of nematodes affecting almonds: root-knot, root lesion, and ring. Thankfully, growers have a powerful solution with TELONE™! Prepping the soil before planting creates a zone of protection where young roots can establish free from nematode pressure and grow into healthy trees with increased trunk diameters, larger canopies, and increased yields. We'll be posting more about orchard replant, so stay tuned for more info! And remember, there's no coming back from a poor start. https://lnkd.in/gxn-jbd8

Today in Burgundy 🇫🇷, the harvest has begun. Puligny-Montrachet Les Reuchaux The 2024 vintage tells the story of a terroir born under difficult circumstances. The challenges of biodynamic farming are also at play. As you know, the hills of the Côte d'Or are not a single continuous stretch; they are a complex landscape shaped by glacial erosion. This brings the influence of the Atlantic Ocean from the west, resulting in significant variations in terroir from one plot to another. This year, the unique characteristics of each terroir and human expertise will play an even more crucial role. WINE no KAORI  https://lnkd.in/gUAR248n

Market trends, production progress, product innovation, and commercial strategies: these are the focal points of the Macfrut Table Grape Global Players, scheduled on Thursday, May 9th, featuring insights and experiences from around the world. 🍇 📊 Starting with Oscar Salgado, an agronomist and global consultant with over 30 years of specialization in table grapes. He will speak on the topic of "Global Table Grape Supply: Driving Factors and Challenges." 📈 🗣 "The supply of table grapes is rapidly evolving throughout the entire value chain: from cultivation techniques to cultivars, from pre- and post-harvest processes to logistics challenges, from climatic issues to retail sales amidst increasingly discerning consumers. The consolidation of tropical and sub-tropical areas, as well as emerging countries and new regions in grape production, are reshaping our approach to the table grape business, compelling us to apply more technology to face the future successfully." ✍ Participation in the Symposium requires registration (due to limited seating): https://lnkd.in/dUC4mYVG Macfrut Fiera #macfrut2024 #tablegrape #tablegrapesymposium

Today we celebrate the first International Day of Potato, which has transitioned from a staple food to a symbol of human adaptability and resilience. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gcUf2pu9 Thanks to Lukie Pieterse, Editor of Potato News Today, for this article. #UNToday #InternationalDayofPotato

A good example of an engineering control that reduces risk for repetitive strain injuries while simultaneously improving production. Great return on investment.

https://lnkd.in/d7xSDD9f The vineyard is an ecosystem, and the vine is also a micro-ecosystem comprising the plant, and all the yeast, fungi and bacteria that live on and in it. What is most important is to do as little as possible. Not to overprotect the plants, and only to do something when it’s needed. We work in different ways in different areas. Already between Barbaresco and Barolo, I can see a lot of differences. In Barbaresco, for example, we have soils that are a little more sandy and more compact. We’ve been working to boost the different types of grass growing on the soil and to fill it with a nice, complex cover crop. This can be a bit challenging in Barbaresco because the soil tends to get drier than in Barolo where there’s more water-holding potential so that’s different.
