In this study we review the state of the art of different physiologically-based water-saving
irrigation strategies and methods used to improve productive water use efficiency (WUE …

This paper reviews the different remote sensing techniques found in the literature to monitor
plant water status, allowing farmers to control the irrigation management and to avoid …

Rising temperatures in most agricultural regions of the world are associated with a higher
incidence of extreme weather events such as heat waves. We performed an experiment to …

Soil flooding has emerged as a serious threat to modern agriculture due to the rapid global
warming and climate change, resulting in catastrophic crop damage and yield losses. The …

In commercial wine grape production, canopy management practices are applied to control
the source-sink balance and improve the cluster microclimate to enhance berry composition …

The grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is managed to balance the ratio of leaf area (source) to fruit
mass (sink). Over crop** in the grapevine may reveal itself as spontaneous fruit abortion …

The relationships between differences in plant water status, induced by spatial variability in
soil texture, and the changes in berry and wine composition were investigated in an irrigated …

Resilience to drought stress is an important crop selection and breeding target particularly
under an environment of increasing freshwater scarcities resulting from higher …

Aim: In winegrape production, pruning, canopy management, and harvest are essential
practices that are increasingly being done by machines. How well these practices are …

Sugar levels in grape berries are necessary for wine production but also, they are the main
driver of most ripening processes. Sugar levels are very responsive to canopy and crop load …
