An adaption of method was the furrow irrigation system used in Argentina where small channels ran through the vineyard providing irrigation. This provide slightly more control since the initial amount of water entering the channels could be regulated, however the amount that each vine received was sporadic.
A system of vineyard irrigation to where only a section of a vine's root system received measured amounts of water. The side not receiving the water will go through a mild water stress and starts diverting metabolic energy from the leaves to the grape cluster. The process alternates between irrigating the two sides in a manner that conserves ...
The earliest evidence of grape vine cultivation and winemaking dates back 8,000 years. [5] The history of viticulture is closely related to the history of wine, with evidence that humans cultivated wild grapes to make wine as far back as the Neolithic period.

Europe's 1.6 million vineyards are an average of 0.2 km 2 (49 acres) each, while the average Australian vineyard is 0.5 km 2 (120 acres), providing considerable economies of scale. Exports to Europe from New World growers increased by 54% in the six years up to 2006. [6] There have also been significant changes in the kinds of grapes that are ...
A cane-trained vineyard using vertical trellising similar to the VSP system Vine training systems can be broadly classified by a number of different measurements. One of the oldest means was based on the relative height of the trunk with the distance of the canopy from the ground being described as high-trained (also known as "high culture" or ...
Micro-irrigation, sometimes called localized irrigation, low volume irrigation, or trickle irrigation is a system where water is distributed under low pressure through a piped network, in a pre-determined pattern, and applied as a small discharge to each plant or adjacent to it. Traditional drip irrigation use individual emitters, subsurface ...
Over the years, they have planted 286 hectares (710 acres) of vines, primarily along the Elqui River valley, where grape growers have access to high-quality water for irrigation. [2] The region has clay, silt and chalk soil, and is characterized by a sunny, desert-like climate with less than 70 millimetres (2.8 in) of annual rainfall.
