However, under Mediterranean conditions, there is a need for applying costeffective control strategies in areas where vegetation cover may compete with vineyards for soil and/or water resources during the growing season. In Douro Wine Region (DWR) due to the application of longterm chemical and/or mechanical strategies, combined with herbicide resistance phenomena, spontaneous vegetation has evolved and adapted to current environmental conditions (lack of water, poor soils) and, therefore, its management represents nowadays a big challenge for farmers. In steep slope vineyards, mechanisation rely on very specific equipment’s and technical options for weed management are limited, hence herbicides are still used in a significant vineyard area. Considering the growing concerns on the impacts of pesticide application and the specificities of the DWR, the Association for the Development of Douro Viticulture (ADVID) has been promoting an environmentally sustainable control strategy for the region. Trying to find alternatives to chemical control, several estates have been pioneering the implementation of strategies to diversify vineyard landscape by promoting or preserving native vegetation cover, native hedges, non-crop habitats nearby vineyards, resulting in a significant reduction in the use of herbicides on their farms. A sustainable weed management strategy based on the combination of preventive, mechanical, and chemical methods is briefly described in the Handbook “Different strategies for weed control in hillside viticulture” published by ADVID in 2019. Moreover, a grower’s survey regarding weed management costs was performed considering different technical itineraries implemented in several vineyards type (traditional systems vs mechanized systems), and under different management systems (integrated vs organic production). Preliminary results of this survey point out that the weed management strategies implemented in steep-slope viticulture present specific difficulties resulting in high to very high costsAlberto Batista (UTAD)Repositório da Universidade de LisboaCarlos, C.Menezes, R.Nave, A.Lopes, C.M.Monteiro, A.2022-07-06T10:12:15Z2022-052022-05-01T00:00:00Zconference objectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/24766eng978-989-704-471-7info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2025-03-17T16:13:05Zoai:repositorio.ulisboa.pt:10400.5/24766Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-29T04:06:14.980969Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
