Precision Viticulture - Future

Future

Various integrative technological approaches are gaining increasing attention for application in precision viticulture:

  • Distributed Sensor Networks use strategic deployment of sensors throughout a vineyard to monitor key factors such as water stress and temperature.
  • Vineyard Models simulate microclimate, vine growth, grape ripening, and economic return on investment to evaluate management options.
  • Decision Support Systems (DSS) bring together vineyard environmental and economic databases, vineyard models, and GIS in an interactive software-based system to solve management problems and better make decisions.
