Biological Pest & Disease Management for Vines at Greystone Wines

Resources on vitiforestry, disease-resistant varieties, under-vine living mulches, cover crops and much more

Review of 345 soil carbon sequestration measures across seven regen practices: agroforestry, cover cropping, legume cover cropping, animal integration, non-chemical fertiliser, non-chemical pest management and no tillage.

All practices increased carbon sequestration rate. Combining the practices may further enhance soil carbon sequestration

Series of 3 podcasts for the UK Wine Show. Becky explains the principles of regenerative viticulture, why the foundation was set up, what the foundation does and about the certification schemes that are now available. The interviews all start around 10 minutes in to the podcasts.

A fascinating review into mycorrhizal fungi, including descriptions of the different functional types and how they contribute to global soil carbon pools. Conservative estimate that they fix approximately 36% of current annual CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. It is definitely worth setting time aside to read. Much of the language is accessible to non-scientists.

3 year study in southern France into the effect of various termination strategies (early vs budburst termination period; mowing vs tillage vs roller-crimper) of winter cover crops on soil ecosystem functions, vine water and nutrient status, grapevine vigour and yield.

The reference book from the highly experienced and respected French vineyard consultant Alain Malard.
