Effects of treatments with ozonated water in the vineyard (cv Vermentino) on microbial population and fruit quality parameters

Ozone (O3) is currently employed in wineries as a sanitizing agent and is used to control microbial growth and infection. This molecule decomposes spontaneously to oxygen upon application and the use of ozonated water can represent an alternative for the control of pathogens in the vineyard. Entire...
