Organic Vineyard Management for Disease Control and Biodiversity Enhancement

The VineMan.org project aims to develop innovative cropping systems for organic vineyards in Europe, focusing on disease management, yield efficiency, and biodiversity enhancement. By integrating plant resistance, cropping practices, and biocontrol agents, the consortium will work to improve disease control, reduce mycotoxin contamination, and increase microbial biodiversity while minimizing environmental impact. The project involves designing, evaluating, and developing cropping systems through a cycle of assessment and adjustment. Testing will be based on plant resistance, disease models, biocontrol agents, and canopy management, with recommendations for end-users including specific techniques like leaf removal and treatment scheduling.

Presentation Transcript

  1. FP7 ERA-Net project (no. 249667) • VineMan.org • Integration of plant resistance, cropping practices, and biological control agents for enhancing disease management, yield efficiency, and biodiversity in organic European vineyards

  2. The Consortium • Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (UCSC) – Italy • Agricultural Research Council (CRA-VIC) – Italy • AGES - Institute of Plant Health (IPGH) – Austria • StaatlichesWeinbauinstitut (SWI) – Germany • Universidad de La Rioja (UDLR) – Spain • Agricultural Institute of Slovenia (KIS) – Slovenia • Education and research centre for enology and pomology (LFZ) – Austria • University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) – Austria

  3. Aim develop innovative cropping systems for managing organic vineyards able to: • improve control of key plant diseases • enhance grape production • reduce mycotoxin contamination • increase microbial biodiversity • minimize the environmental impact Design Evaluate Develop How through a design-assessment-adjustment cycle Test

  4. The innovative cropping systems based on: Plantresistance Diseasemodels Biocontrolagents Canopy management

  5. Recommendations to end-users • Perform leaf removal at pre flowering stage on • varieties with very compact clusters • Use epidemiological models to better schedule • treatments against downy and powdery mildew • Do not mix the BCA Botector, Serenade and • AQ10 with copper • A possible bio control strategy for the larvae of • Scaphoideustitanuscould be the use of Mycotal
