LECTURER: Giovanni Battista Tornielli
MODULE: Grapevine Ecology and Physiology (6 CFU)
Objectives:
Various aspects of viticultural ecology are treated with particular regard to the description of environmental and biological factors that determine the cultivation areas for the different varieties. The influence of the environment and growing techniques on grape physiology is also examined.
Program
Program:
