Aim : The Peruvian region of Ica is an important area of grapevine cultivation, mainly for the production of pisco, the flagship hard drink of Peru. The effects of a changing climate have been assessed using the recorded temperatures of a weather station together with projected climates for the 21 st century generated under the A1B SRES scenario. Methods and results :The bioclimatic indices commonly used in grapevine studies have increased in recent years and will continue to rise along the 21 st century in relation to increasing temperature. In parallel, the phenology of four pisco cultivars (Quebranta, Torontel, Moscatel and Italia) has been experimentally assessed during four consecutive years, first to determine their cumulative growing degree-days and then to project them in past and future climates.Conclusion : It appears that the cycle lengths of these cultivars have been shortened in recent years and that this tendency will continue all along the 21 st century.Significance and impact of the study : Assessing the immediate and future impact of climate change makes it possible to identify potential crop production problems and provides information on adaptation strategies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
