“…Under this scenario, the sustainable soil management practices are crucial to improve soil quality and increase soil water content [8,9]. Recently, several authors studied the effect of vineyards compost application to minimize threats such as extended drought or soil degradation [10][11][12]. The major role of organic matter in the formation of stable aggregates was described, as well as its effects on water holding capacity, aeration and resistance to root growth [13,14].…”

“…The major role of organic matter in the formation of stable aggregates was described, as well as its effects on water holding capacity, aeration and resistance to root growth [13,14]. Badalikova et al [12], for example, reported that bulk density decreased (2-10%), and consequently porosity and soil moisture content increased, 2 years after the incorporation of 30 t ha -1 compost into the vines in furrows 25-30 cm deep. In addition to enhance the structure of soils and thereby improving water availability, compost application reduces soil-born pathogen and increases nutrient use efficiency [2,15].…”

The white wine industry generates a large amount of wastes and composting is an alternative for recycling these residues with agronomic and environmental advantages. With this aim, grape marc and grape stalks were composted in static and turned piles, with 3 and 6 turns, to investigate the effects of pile conditions during composting in order to improve final compost quality. Thermophilic temperatures were attained soon after pile construction, and the highest maximum temperatures were achieved in the turned piles (70.5-71.8 ºC). However, pile moisture content decreased bellow recommended values after day 42 in these piles. The extremely high temperatures and low moisture content in turned piles hampered OM mineralization rates and the amount of potentially mineralizable organic matter (OM0) (391-407 g kg-1), whereas the structure of the static pile provided adequate porosity to increase OM decomposition and OM0 (568 g kg-1). This study shows that composting grape marc with stalks, for a period of 140 days, resulted in stabilized and matured compost (NH4+-N / NO3--N &lt;0.5), with good chemical characteristics for application as soil organic amendment in vineyards, without the need for rewetting or turning the piles, thus reducing the agronomic, and environmental cost of the composting process.

“…Numerous research endeavors have delved into the outcomes of compost application to grape pomace and stalks. The findings of these studies have demonstrated that composting contributed to a reduction in bulk density, a metric indicative of soil compaction, with recorded decreases ranging from 2% to 10% [9]. The rise in consciousness regarding Food Loss and Waste (FLW) commenced with a handful of publications that elevated the significance of the issue.…”

The global issue of Food Loss and Waste (FLW) is gaining increased attention from both academic and policy circles. This challenge is progressively spreading, particularly in less developed and developing nations. This article aims to address the FLW concern within grape cultivation, proposing solutions for repurposing leftover materials from the crop. The paper will depict the current understanding of FLW, outline the supply and value chain of grape crops, and conduct an intricate analysis of production quantities, imports, exports, and processing. The study draws from the IPSUS project's research, which explores techniques for reclaiming plant and seaweed proteins through recycling raw materials. Additionally, it will explore the potential for upcycling and assess the quantity and quality of FLW at various points along the value chain. To evaluate FLW in viticulture, an IoT system will measure environmental parameters like air temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and precipitation. These measurements will help estimate harvest quality and quantity, pivotal aspects within the context of food loss and waste. The outcomes of this research will underscore the significance of repurposing grape crops, opening novel avenues for agricultural advancement in Romania.

In the context of sustainability, viticulture will address issues related to soil fertility in the coming period. Greater attention will therefore be paid to replacing traditional manure-based fertilisers, such as farmyard manure, with new types of fertiliser in the form of composts, digestate, etc. Experience to date suggests that good-quality composts are not only a source of nutrients that the vines take from the soil each year, but also a source of organic matter. The application of compost and its subsequent decomposition in the soil profile can have a positive effect on the growth of the roots and above-ground parts of the vine. However, optimising the effects and action of compost is linked to determining the necessary doses and methods of application. The aim of this three-year study was to provide an overview of the results aimed at evaluating the effects of the application of compost (CO) and compost enriched with the addition of lignohumate (CO+L20), at a rate of 30 t·ha−1, in the areas around vineyard tree trunks on selected soil chemical properties and the vegetative growth of the vine (Vitis vinifera L.). The unfertilised variant (CWC) was used as a control. Each variant was established in three replicates that were 20 m long. Experimental measurements and evaluation were carried out in the period of 2018–2020 on two sites with different soil conditions (Lednice and Velké Bílovice) and two different grape varieties (Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris). Meteorological data were continuously monitored during the period under review. Chemical properties of the soil samples of the three experimental variants were determined (e.g., content of organic carbon, humic acids, humic substances, humification rate, etc.). The evaluations that were carried out confirmed that the addition of organic matter in the form of composts to the soil in the CO and CO+L20 variants positively influenced the quality of organic matter. The organic carbon content increased by 56–139% in variants with deep compost application (CO, CO+L20) during the monitored period compared to the CWC, depending on the location. Similarly, the degree of humification increased by 70–84%, and the soil microbial biomass increased by 38–136% in the treated variants compared to the CWC. In addition to the dynamics of the changes in the chemical properties, the aim of the performed measurements was to evaluate the rate of the growth shoots, which was linked to the fertilizing effects of the applied compost in the experimental vineyard. At the site in Velké Bílovice, the total difference in the length of the shoots was higher in the CO by 2.6–4.6% and in the CO+L20 by 7.5–12.5% compared to the CWC. At the site in Lednice, the situation was similar, and the total difference in the length of the shoots was higher in the CO by 4.6–7.2% and in the CO+L20 by 5.3–13.2%. The results that were obtained may constitute an important basis for the management of organic fertilization on plots with different soil conditions and cultivated varieties in order to optimize the vegetative growth of the vine.
