Curtis, Morgan A.

Abstract:

The use of cover crops in young vineyards is not widely accepted in the Pacific Northwest due to concerns of water and nutrient competition between the cover crop and vines. The last 2 years of a 4-year study started in 2009 are reported here. The study evaluated the use of...

Effect of soil moisture manipulation and nitrogen application on leaf gas exchange, fruit composition, and carbohydrate storage of Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapevines in the Willamette Valley

Creator:

Howe, Jessica

Abstract:

This study integrates various vineyard practices that may improve nitrogen availability to the vine, particularly during ripening. Different strategies aimed at increasing yeast assimilable nitrogen in the fruit at harvest have been evaluated. This study seeks to improve fermentation behavior and wine quality through vineyard practices used for nitrogen management....
