Out scouting for powdery mildew in your vineyard? Maybe you should take along your dog and train them up to do it for you!

US research found that dogs are able to distinguish grape leaves with powdery mildew infections from those un-infected or infected with other fungi. They suspect our canine friends can smell volatile compounds given off by the leaf/fungus combination.

Le français Pierre Galet a recensé tous les cépages de la planète. En étudiant durant toute sa vie 10 000 variétés de vigne, il a offert à la viticulture mondiale des ressources ampelographiques colossales. Nous avons eu l'honneur de le rencontrer pour le documentaire Vitis prohibita. (www.vinsinterdits.com)

@marinetondelier L'AOC pourrit la vie des vignerons qui voudraient bosser avec des vignes résistantes, et pendant ce temps les vignes du programme Resdur de l'INRA sont ultra-minoritaires...
Même des conventionnels aimeraient avoir ces vignes.
C'est un exemple dans un océan de conneries de ce genre.
Pourtant voici à quoi ressemble la vigne floréal de l'INRA l'année dernière, 2024, zéro traitements...

Ils sont embringués dans un système et pris à la gorge financièrement.
Ils ont besoin d'aide. Ok avec sévérité et sans naïveté, mais en premier de l'aide.

🍷 Promo photo for a Viticulture review I wrote 2 years ago.

🍷 Unfortunately for me, right now I don't play Viticulture nearly as much I'd want, which is a pity because it really is a cozy, unassuming, easy to learn game with a very down-to-earth theme, which makes it perfect for beginners of this hobby that don't necessarily enjoy Spaceships & Dragons™.

🍷 I especially enjoy board games that take a more down-to-earth approach to themes, because there's so much wonder in reality as well! Almost anything can be interesting. Even if it's seldom played, Viticulture is still one of my favorite games.
