The nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus Ball (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), main vector of the flavescence dorée (FD) phytoplasma, was detected for the first time in Montenegro in August 2008. Adults ...were identified using yellow sticky traps in a single vineyard on the locality Šušunja in the Podgoricki subregion - a largest viticulture subregion of Montenegro. In the following years (2009-2011), surveys were conducted in order to confirm the presence and determine the distribution of S. titanus in the grape-growing regions of Montenegro. Altogether 12 vineyards were examined in different viticultural subregions. Regarding presence of S. titanus nymphs, down side of the oldest grapevine leaves were visually inspected from mid-May to mid-June. Adults were collected from the beginning of July to the end of August by means of sweep nets and yellow sticky traps. Results of the monitoring showed spreading of S. titanus in Montenegro in years after its first detection and confirmed its presence in 8 out of 12 inspected vineyards. Out of the first detection site the farthest occurrence of S. titanus was detected near border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a locality Nudo, around 330 m above sea level in the Grahovsko-Nudolski subregion.

Land degradation, especially soil erosion, is a societal issue that affects vineyards worldwide, but there are no current investigations that inform specifically about soil erosion rates in Chinese ...vineyards. In this review, we analyze this problem and the need to avoid irreversible damage to soil and their use from a regional point of view. Information about soil erosion in vineyards has often failed to reach farmers, and we can affirm that to this time, soil erosion in Chinese vineyards has been more of a scientific hypothesis than an agronomic or environmental concern. Two hypotheses can be presented to justify this review: (i) there are no official and scientific investigations on vineyard soil erosion in China as the main topic, and it may be understood that stakeholders do not care about this or (ii) there is a significant lack of information and motivation among farmers, policymakers and wineries concerning the consequences of soil erosion. Therefore, this review proposes a plan to study vineyard soil erosion processes for the first time in China and develop a structured scientific proposal considering different techniques and strategies. To achieve these goals, we present a plan considering previous research on other viticultural regions. We hypothesize that the results of a project from a regional geographic point of view would provide the necessary scientific support to facilitate deriving guidelines for sustainable vineyard development in China. We concluded that after completing this review, we cannot affirm why vine plantations have not received the same attention as other crops or land uses.
Trying to build a future according to the one of EU and aspiring after becoming an apreciate member of the International Wine Community, as a producer of some valuable wines, Romania has intensified ...the efforts to reach these issues, to create a common language at the international level, european and even national, starting with the actions that followed to the Law of Wine and Vineyard no.224/2002. It was imperatively imposed a strict reevaluation of the production wine and vine potential, for example the delimitation and a group of the viticultural areas. With the studies made by the authorized institutions of the government there were identified and aproved eight viticultural regions.
Une étude agropédologique des Côtes de Bourg a permis de distinguer, suivant la nature des roches-mères, trois grands types de sols mais qui présentent en commun un certain nombre de propriétés ...agronomiques. L'uniformité au sein de cette région viticole est encore plus grande à l'échelle des mésoclimats et les variations observées sont trop faibles pour qu'on puisse leur attribuer un rôle déterminant concernant la qualité des vins. Aussi les différences observées en ce qui concerne la croissance des sarments et la maturation du raisin dépendent-elles essentiellement de la plus ou moins grande profondeur d'enracinement avec ses conséquences sur la nutrition minérale et sur l'alimentation en eau de la vigne. +++ An agropedological study of the Côtes-de-Bourg region has shown the existence of three major soil types based on parent material. However, these soil types have a number of agronomic properties in common. The uniformity of the mesoclimates throughout this viticultural region is too high to play a determinant effect on the quality of wines produced. The observed differences in growth of vine canes and on berry maturation depend essentially upon the rooting depth which in turn influences the supply of both minerals and water to the vine.
