Project in brief

Climate change is affecting viticulture at different levels. Effective and ready-to-use biostimulants are needed to limit the negative effects of high temperature and low water availability on grapevine physiology and berry quality

Project objectives

• Test the effectiveness of novel products which show encouraging preliminary results in reducing the negative effects of the global rise in temperatures and summer multifactorial stress conditions.

• Evaluate and determine the relative mechanism of action both at the leaf and berry level

• Evaluate the potential effects on wine

Impact

The project will define novel avenues to protect grapevine against climate change
