“…Moreover, service crops maintain favourable soil structure and porosity in vineyards (Ferrero et al, 2005;Polge de Combret-Champart et al, 2013) as in other cropping systems (Hermawan and Bomke, 1997). As a consequence, service crops improve water infiltration and reserve refilling during the rainy season (Gaudin et al, 2010).…”

Service crops are crops grown with the aim of providing non-marketed ecosystem services, i.e. differing from food, fiber and fuel production. Vineyard soils face various agronomic issues such as poor organic carbon levels, erosion, fertility losses, and numerous studies have highlighted the ability of service crops to address these issues. In addition to their ability to increase soil organic matter and fertility, and reduce runoff and erosion processes, service crops provide a large variety of ecosystem services in vineyards such as weed control, pest and disease regulation, water supply, water purification, improvement of field trafficability and maintenance of soil biodiversity. However, associating service crops with grapevines may also generate disservices and impair grape production: competition for soil resources with the grapevine is often highlighted to reject such association. Consequently, vinegrowers have to find a balance between services and disservices, depending on local soil and climate conditions, on their objectives of grape production and on the nature and temporality of the ecosystem services they expect during the grapevine cycle. This study proposes a review of the services and disservices provided by service crops in vineyards, and a framework for their management. Vinegrowers' production objectives and pedoclimatic constraints form the preliminary stage to consider before defining a strategy of service crop management. This strategy assembles management options such as the choice of species, its spatial distribution within the vineyard, the timing of its installation, maintenance and destruction. These management options, defined for both annual and long-term time scales, form action levers which may impact cropping system functioning. Finally, we underline the importance of implementing an adaptive strategy at the seasonal time scale. Such tactical management allows adapting the cropping system to observed climate and state of the biophysical system during the grapevine cycle, in order to provide targeted services and achieve satisfactory production objectives.

“…Nevertheless, not all studies indicated the expected regression in grape yields in vineyards with vegetation cover (VC) in the inter-rows [22,23], but similar or even higher yields were observed in vineyards with VC in the inter-rows [24,25]. In addition, some techniques usually adopted in vineyards' installation and management (e.g., intense tractor traffic throughout fixed paths) deteriorate soil structure and produce soil surface compaction [26]. In the literature, the benefits of VC in vineyards, fruit-tree orchards and reclaimed soils has been widely evaluated in a variety of soil and climate conditions throughout the world [13,[27][28][29].…”

Soil erosion seriously affects vineyards. In this study, the influence of two vegetation covers on topsoil moisture and the effect of different physiographic conditions on runoff and sediment yields were evaluated in a rainfed vineyard formed by four fields (NE Spain) during 15 months. One field had spontaneous vegetation in the inter-row areas, and three fields had a cover crop of common sainfoin. Moisture conditions were dry and stable in the vineyards' rows, wet and very variable in the inter-row areas and wet and very stable in the corridors. Topsoil moisture in the areas with common sainfoin was much higher than in the rows (62-70%), whereas this difference was lower with spontaneous vegetation (40%). Two runoff and sediment traps (STs) were installed in two ephemeral gullies, and 26 time-integrated surveys (TIS) were done. The mean runoff yields were 9.8 and 13.5 L TIS −1 in ST2 and ST3. Rainfall depth (12 mm) and erosivity (5.2 MJ mm ha −1 h −1 ) thresholds for runoff initiation were assessed. The mean turbidity was 333 (ST2) and 19 (ST3) g L −1 . Changes in the canopy covers (grapevines and vegetation covers), topography and rainfall parameters explained the runoff and sediment dynamics.

“…Tratase de uma das espécies de gramínea indicada por Butler (1986) para o manejo, nas entrelinhas, de pomares de frutas decíduas em clima temperado. Este manejo de solo, baseado na manutenção de gramínea controlada por meio de roçadas mecânicas, sem o revolvimento do solo e sem a utilização de herbicida, tem apresentado resultados de qualidade do solo em outras espécies de gramíneas, em pomares de macieira e videira (Draghi et al, 2005;Ferrero et al, 2005). Outro aspecto técni-co, que corrobora a manutenção da vegetação permanente sem revolvimento do solo nas entrelinhas dos pomares de laranjeiras, é a eficiência da calagem superficial em solo e cultura similares à deste trabalho, descrita por Fidalski & Tormena (2005).…”

Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as relações hídricas, os parâmetros fisiológicos e a produção de frutos da laranjeira 'Pêra' enxertada sobre o limoeiro 'Cravo', assim como a umidade do solo, em diferentes plantas de cobertura permanente na entrelinha. O experimento de campo foi implantado em 1993, em Argissolo Vermelho distrófico latossólico, no Município de Alto Paraná, noroeste do Paraná. Foram avaliados três tratamentos: gramínea (Paspalum notatum), leguminosa (Arachis pintoi) e testemunha, que consistiu na dessecação da vegetação espontânea com herbicida. O delineamento experimental foi de blocos ao acaso com três repetições. De 1999 a 2003, realizaram-se avaliações da taxa de fotossíntese, condutância estomática e potencial da água das plantas, produção de frutos e umidade do solo. A manutenção da leguminosa nas entrelinhas do pomar acentua o estresse hídrico nas laranjeiras. O manejo da gramínea nas entrelinhas assegura melhores relações hídricas e metabólicas às laranjeiras. A produção de frutos da laranjeira 'Pêra' não é comprometida pelo manejo das plantas de cobertura na entrelinha do pomar.Termos para indexação: Citrus, fotossíntese, condutância estomática, potencial da água na folha. Orange yield in orchard floor vegetation managementAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate water status, physiological parameters and fruit yield of the Pear orange on Rangpur lime rootstock, as well as soil water content in different orchard floor vegetation management. Field experiment was set up in 1993, at Alto Paraná, northwest of the state of Paraná, Brazil. The soil is a Typic Paleudults. Three treatments were evaluated: bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum), legume (Arachis pintoi), and spontaneous vegetation plus herbicide. The experimental design was in random blocks with three replicates. From 1999 to 2003, the following measurements were made: photosynthesis rates, stomatal conductance, leaf water potential, fruit yield and soil water content. Legume keeping in the interrows causes higher stress to orange plants. Bahiagrass assures better water and metabolic relations to Pear orange tree. Fruit yield orange is not influenced by orchard floor vegetation management.
