The use of cover crops in vineyards can help control the yield and quality of grapes and wine

This means that soil with lower qualitative potential such as the flat soil can produce grapes of a similar quality to soils on slopes, which in principle produce higher quality grapes. Therefore, the use of cover crops could be an example of differential management that can lead to enhanced control of yield and quality. Something that could well be of interest for grapegrowers seeking to better plan and manage their vineyards.
