Combining Precision Viticulture Technologies and Economic Indices to Sustainable Water Use Management

The scarcity of water due to climate change is endangering worldwide the production, quality, and economic viability growing wine grapes. One main mitigation measures be adopted in viticulture sector will an adequate irrigation strategy. Irrigation involves increasing demand for water, a natural limited resource with availability problems foreseeable future. Therefore, development precision system, which able manage efficient use monitor crop stress, important research topic viticulture. This paper, through analysis case study, aims describe prototype software platform that integrates data coming from different innovative remote proximal sensors hydric stress status vineyard. In addition, by using cost grape cultivation implementing indices, this study examines conditions strategies may economically justified, helping decision-making process. By combining sensors, makes it possible assess spatial temporal variability vineyards. output platforming, matched support process winemakers optimize schedule under water-scarce conditions.
