Sustainable Viticulture and Vineyard Management on Table Grape

Dear Colleagues,

Attention to sustainability, with its environmental, economic and social aspects which are largely interconnected, is currently mandatory for viticulture. Table grape production takes place through a very intensive process that is largely dependent on high use of natural resources such as solar radiation, water and soil, as well as of external inputs such as chemicals, manual work, equipment and energy. In this production systems, all strategies and techniques for optimizing and/or reducing the use of natural resources and inputs (especially contaminants and pollutants) play a crucial role in the context of sustainability. Presently, precision farming technologies may offer a special contribution to the rationalization of input deliveries and the monitoring of results, therefore, their larger adoption is desirable to increase the chances of practicing a more sustainable table grape viticulture.

You are invited to share, in this Special Issue, the most significant results of the research conducted on these topics in grapevine-growing regions around the world.
