Viticulture in German-Speaking Switzerland
The aim of the ‘Viticulture in German-Speaking Switzerland’ Research Group is to develop tools for winegrowers that promote sustainability. For this, plant-protection strategies and alternative products as well as new grape varieties and climate-adapted clones are tested. In addition, the Group deepens the understanding of soil quality parameters for high-quality grape production and optimises the development and marketing of new grape varieties. In doing so, the entire value chain from grape to wine is assessed.
