“…Other major considerations for producers going forward include the need for evaluation of different trellis and training systems, which may offer greater winter protection potential than a standard single high-wire bilateral cordon trellis-training system. Likewise, supplemental winter protection may be necessary via soil/snow burial, or through use of geotextile fabrics, if consistent production of non-adapted genotypes is desirable for producers [33,34]. Training systems worth considering include fan, dragon, crawled cordon, low cordon, mini-J, or head pruning near the soil-surface to facilitate burial or supplemental protection of fruiting wood against dangerous winter temperatures [13,35,36].…”

Cold-Hardy Grape Cultivar Winter Injury and Trunk Re-Establishment Following Severe Weather Events in North Dakota

et al. 2020

Extreme winter temperatures during the 2018–2019 dormant season contributed to trunk collapse and complete trunk death of numerous genotypes throughout a diverse grapevine planting in eastern North Dakota, USA. Through the early portion of the dormant season, 12 genotypes were screened to identify lethal temperature exotherms of primary buds; from these results, none were anticipated to be fully prepared to survive the −37 °C minimum temperature recorded in the region. Trunk collapse, death, and survival were monitored for 35 replicated genotypes. New trunks were retrained from suckers and monitored for growth following trunk removal. Only five genotypes exceeded 50% trunk survival at the end of the 2019 growing season, ‘Valiant’, ‘King of the North’, ‘John Viola’, ‘Baltica’, and ‘Bluebell’. Following re-establishment, ‘La Crescent’ was the most vigorous genotype with the largest sucker circumference, sucker length, and internode length. Nearly all genotypes evaluated produced suckers with lengths approaching the high-wire trellis height (1.8 m), designating their potential for cordon retraining in 2020. Cumulatively, however, the lethal temperature exotherm results and the trunk survival examination indicate a harrowing need for investigation of new management practices (such as protected training systems) and the generation of new cold-hardy genotypes to enhance productivity under standard unprotected systems.

“…Cold hardiness depends heavily on the genetics of the grape species and/or cultivar (Centinari 2016). Differences in cold hardiness among diverse grape cultivars have been studied extensively (Clore et al 1974;Wolf, Miller 2001;Khanizadeh et al 2004;Smiley 2016;Bradshaw et al 2018). Most grape cultivars in the world belong to the Eurasian grape species V. vinifera L. The cultivars found in this species, may not be very cold-hardy, and they have little ability to withstand serious cold mid-winter weather (Stafne 2007).…”

“…Wind machines mix warm air 20 m above the ground, which can be 5 to 10 °C warmer than at the vine level. Also, heating the vineyards would be possible with different methods, such as using commercial orchard heaters (Smudge Pots) in small vineyards (Khanizadeh et al 2004;Fraser et al 2008;Rahemi 2016). Weather forecasts are a useful tool for growers in applying mitigation strategies to help minimise winter injury, e.g., to activate wind machines.…”

“…The Chinese viticulture area can be divided into 12 types based on the climatic zoning, with more than 90% of Vitis vinifera distributed in areas where the vines must be buried under a layer of soil during winter (vine burial) [9][10][11]. In general, vines are buried in the winter and unearthed in the spring, requiring increased labor intensity and costs, potentially causing damage and diseases to branches, restricting mechanized production, and destroying the ecological environment [12][13][14][15].…”

“…In order to choose suitable overwintering protection measures, scholars around the world have carried out a lot of research, including interspecific hybrid breeding, rootstock grafting, wind dispersing cold air, adjusting plant load, soil or material covering for cold protection, delaying pruning, etc. [15][16][17][18][19]. However, the current focus is on the impact of a single measure, and there are few systematic reports on the annual management strategy of the vineyard.…”

A Sustainable Viticulture Method Adapted to the Cold Climate Zone in China

Due to the particularity of the continental monsoon climate in China, more than 90% of the wine grape cultivation areas require vines to be buried in winter for a burial period that can extend to half a year. Additionally, traditional vine cultivation practices can expose the surface of the soil during winter, easily leading to soil erosion. To meet the restrictive factors for viticulture in the Chinese cold climate zone, a new sustainable viticulture strategy called crawled cordon mode (CCM) has been developed. CCM includes crawled cordon training (CCT), physical methods of flower and fruit thinning, winter suspension of shoots, the use of a biodegradable liquid film, and covering of grass and branches for simplified management of vineyards. This article summarizes the specific implementation methods of the main measures of CCM and their significant effects on the quality of grapes and wine, ecological environment, and costs, and aims to provide inspiration for the study of sustainable and eco-friendly cultivation measures for vineyards in other cold climate zones.
