What are the factors that develop in the bunch rot? The two main causes are the residues that remain trapped in the flower clusters and rosure caused by moths of the screw. What interventions can be vital to defend the botrytis bunch? Also called botrytis gray mold rot is the most serious of the vine and can be combated with actions ranging from chemical control to agronomic management of the vineyard. Excellent results were obtained using chemical thinning with gibberellic acid that killing the flower reduces the compactness of the cluster making it less susceptible to pathogenic infections. The improvement of the microclimate can also be obtained through stripping the area of the bunch.

One problem experienced by farmers is the tired land that may be caused by biotic and abiotic factors. This type of phenomenon limits the growth of plants and cause death. This is due to the low activity of the roots that may arise ill. This problem is not easy to solve and the best way would be to leave the ground at rest, but because costs are too high we are trying to study methods more simple and cheap. One of these is the use of fumigants that allow soil disinfestation. Remains an important factor to understand what the problem that caused the fatigue of the land, because as I said the reasons could be many and there are few scientific medoti to understand the origin of the phenomenon.

A great risk in agriculture is the climate, particularly the hail that hits the vineyards and sometimes destroy completely the harvest. To limit this kind of damage you may use an indemnity that is very important because wine production is fundamental in the economy of our country. A very significant role is represented by an expert who estimated the damage through knowledge, skill and preparation, which should provide clear answers during the control. During the verification of the damage we must consider the conditions of insurance, the manufacturer would submit a complaint which will be verified by the expert before the begin of expertise. These operations may take place in several stages, and each report must be addressed individually. The expert will go directly to collect samples in the vineyards and then making its assessment.
