Enhancing vine eco-physiology with biodigestate in vineyards

Enhancing vineyard sustainability through biodigestate application in grape-wine production

or

Detail description

This study investigates the impact of biodigestate application on vineyard eco-physiology, comparing four soil treatments: surface-applied digestate, buried digestate, mineral fertiliser, and control. Results show buried digestate optimises gaseous exchange and water potential, reducing water stress and enhancing vegetative growth. Treated vines exhibited higher Brix degrees, increased berry weight, and improved anthocyanin and polyphenol balance. Yield was significantly higher in digestate-treated plots, with no compromise on grape quality. Findings support biodigestate as a sustainable soil amendment for climate-resilient viticulture. Funded by the European Union via EU-FarmBook.
