From farm to glass: use of a winEMaking wastE-derived compost as feRtilizer for GrapEvine plants. Elucidation of the interaction between vine molecular response and microbial community for wine production - EMERGE

PRIN 2022 Baldi

Abstract

The use of compost has been suggested as an alternative to traditional fertilisers; thus, the use of vineyard and cel-lar by-products may contribute to fulfil the circular economy paradigm in wine production. The trial is based on two levels of complexity (short-term experiment on potted vines and a long-term-field trial). EMERGE aims at eval-uating the effects of compost on: i) the molecular response of vines; ii) the microbial community on plants and soil; iii) the autochthonous berry microbiome and its effect on spontaneous fermentation; iv) soil biological fertility parameters and the ecosystem services provided by the soil microbial community; v) enhancing soil carbon sequestration in the context of climate change and circular economy.
