Description
Hydric and nutritional stress detection in vineyards. Research in the vine’s mineral nutrition. Advanced techniques for hydric and nutritional stress detection in vines (caused by the lack of water and nutrients) based on the photosynthetic performance measurements and fluorescence of chlorophyll, and its application in precision viticulture. Estimation of the productive potential and quality of the vineyard in the field. Evaluation of the technological, polyphenolic and aromatic quality of the grapes in the field from physiological variables measured in the field (content in foliar pigments, hydric state, leaf surface, vegetative balance, etc.) Use of phytoregulators in viticulture. Application of growth regulators for the control of the vineyard’s strength and the improvement of the grape’s quality. Use of abscission agents (hormonal products that facilitate the grapes’ detachment) to improve the quality of mechanized harvesting. Nutritional products. Research on new fertilizers, biostimulants, etc. for its application in viticulture. Field tests.Other information
