La Vigne, volume 4 : Anatomie et physiologie (French Edition) - Amtra

The Vine, Volume 4: Anatomy and Physiology is an essential work for anyone interested in the evolution of the vine and its adaptation to climate change. This book focuses on the mechanisms of water, carbon, and mineral nutrition, as well as the deficiencies and physiological accidents that the vine may encounter.

With over 30 years of expertise and in-depth research, this book offers a detailed analysis of the physiological mechanisms of the vine, taking into account the impact of changing climatic conditions. From the anatomical structure of the plant to water and carbon nutrition, this volume provides a comprehensive view of the vine's needs and necessary adaptations.

The authors, including Vivian Zufferey, Katia Gindro, Thibaut Verdenal, François Murisier, and Olivier Viret, provide unique illustrations and diagrams to facilitate the understanding of the various concepts and mechanisms discussed.

Key topics covered in this book include:

• Structure and anatomy of the vine, from rootlets to the tips of the shoots.
• Grafting and its effects on the plant's nutrition.
• Management of water nutrition and its ecophysiological implications.
• Management of carbon nutrition and its impact on vine growth.
• Physiological accidents such as spring frosts, hail, and sunburn.

This book also offers solutions for managing frequent climatic and physiological accidents, presenting concrete cases and prevention methods.

Additionally, the volume includes appendices detailing various meteorological accidents and their consequences on vine cultivation, an indispensable asset for viticulturists and researchers who wish to better understand the impact of climate on viticulture.
