Program

Lectures.
The course of viticulture practices provides a part of lectures in which are discussed the various issues that concern the operational choices and procedures for the execution of the agronomic techniques in the vineyard.
- Criteria for the design and for planting the orchard; factors to consider when choosing the site: ecological factors, soil characteristics, position, exposure and slope, depth, texture, structure and composition. Soil preparation: leveling and excavation, break-in, refinement, description of the drainage systems, pre-planting fertilization.
- The arrangement of the rows (e.g. rittochino, cavalcapoggio, girapoggio) and the criteria for adopting certain planting densities.
- Choice of the propagation material of the vine (varieties and rootstocks), orchard planting methods, materials for the realization of the vineyard.
- Main training systems (Alberello, Guyot, spurred cordon, Sylvoz, Casarsa, free cordon, pergolas, marquee, G.D.C., hedge), and related pruning systems (physiological and agronomic basis).
- How to manage the vineyard: canopy management and illustration of green interventions (defoliation, picking, trimming, demining, pickling, cluster thinning); the concept of vegetative-productive balance.
- Irrigation; nutrition; soil management (mechanical processing, chemical weeding, controlled grassing).
- Harvesting management.
- Introduction to nursery techniques and precision viticulture.
Tutorials.
Practical exercises are carried out in the vineyard and in relation to the time in which phenological are held, we discuss the various aspects of plant-growing, cultivation techniques applied and the reasonableness or otherwise of the operations performed.
