Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agriculture has always been a significant challenge, and this is especially true in times of frequent and rapid global changes, with the viticulture world becoming even more challenging and complex, as old traditions evolve and scientific and technological innovation develops at a rapid pace.
The challenges facing viticulture are related to climate change, manpower shortages and limited resources, along with the desire to improve profitability and wine quality while adhering to the principles of sustainability. Existing solutions to such challenges can emerge from the traditional world of breading, irrigation, fertilization, pruning, canopy and pest management and other agrotechnical practices, as well as from artificial intelligence, remote sensing or advanced sensors. Combining innovative and traditional methods can yield profitable and sustainable solutions, possibly meeting these new challenges.
This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous Special Issue, and it will focus on agrotechnical solutions for more profitable and sustainable viticulture, inviting research works that cover wine quality. Original research articles and reviews will both be accepted.
