THE WATER USES IN VINE GROWING
Water, in the cultivation of the vine,
is mostly used for drip irrigation or
for the use and application of
fertilizers.

GENERAL OF THE VINEYARD AND
WATER STRESS
The grower must take into serious consideration the
irrigation management of the vineyard in order to
improve the quality of the product.
The vineyard, develops its vegetative cycle during
the spring-summer period and is equipped with a
relative tolerance to drought. When rainfall is scarce
in these times, the vineyard frequently manifests
signs of water stress.

MICRO IRRIGATION AND
FERTIGATION OF THE VINE
For fertigation means the application
of fertilizers or nutrients required for
crop nutrition, along with water
irrigation.
This technique takes advantage of the
irrigation system and / or microirrigation as a means of application
of these essential elements.
Alessandro Romagnoli; Classe 4°b; Anno scolastico 2013-14; Saving water and energy in vine growing.
THE MICROIRRIGATION DRIP
The irrigation of vines achieved through the
installation of micro-irrigation drip high
uniformity, is a technically high-profile suitable
for all growing areas and capable of satisfying
the needs of both production and, especially,
those qualities.
Proper water return, commensurate with the
minimum physiological needs of the vine, has a
positive effect on the quality of musts and wines
then.

THE BENEFITS OF MICRO-IRRIGATION
AND/OR FERTIGATION
1)Do not get wet vegetation avoiding fungal diseases.
2) You can distribute in limited doses of irrigation water
soluble fertilizer with obvious technical and economic
advantages.
3) With one liter for second, you can manage 4 hectares
divided into 6 sectors.
4) Drip irrigation offers the possibility of a large daily time of
use, also independent from conditions of strong wind.

THE LIMITS OF MICROIRRIGATION
The simplicity of the management of this irrigation
system is a result of:
-Careful initial planning
-Ensure implementation
With the use of products of proven quality, and of a
continuous presence immediately after installation.

OTHER METHODS OF IRRIGATION
Are advised against other irrigation
methods (method for sprinkling), as
well as having the maximum
probability of experiencing fungal
diseases, there is a huge waste of
water, and fertilization of the vine
takes place in a separate way.
Alessandro Romagnoli; Classe 4°b; Anno scolastico 2013-14; Saving water and energy in vine growing.
THE ENERGY USES IN WINE GROWING
Energy, in the cultivation of the
vine, is exploited mainly by the
tractor or by the harvester at the
time of the grape harvest.
Alessandro Romagnoli; Classe 4°b; Anno scolastico 2013-14; Saving water and energy in vine growing
THE GRAPE HARVEST
The grape harvest, can be done
either through the use of the
harvester(for parcels of at least
50 hectares) or through the use of
a tractor with a wagon where the
clusters are deposited.

depositing the clusters(pict.4)

ENERGY FOR THE GRAPE HARVEST
The expenditure of energy for the
grape harvest, varies depending on
the slope of the land where the
vineyard is located.
If the vineyard is located in the plains,
energy expenditure will be lower
compared to a vineyard on the hill (then
pending).

ANSWERING THE DRIVING QUESTION…
In the case of my school, there isn’t a very
precise method of irrigation(because the
climate of the Marche region offers regular
rainfall), fertilizers are distributed through the
use of a tractor separately, the grape harvest
is carried out through the use of a tractor with
the wagon, where it will be deposited the
clusters.
In conclusion we can say that in my school the
waste of water is very low, while that of
energy is slightly higher.
