Productive vineyards now and in the future will use spatial sensor data and directed sampling to generate meaningful soil, canopy, and crop information. Vineyard managers will use this multi-layer spatial vineyard information to make integrated management decisions that best fit their viticulture, environmental, and economic goals. Variable-rate management will be applied and evaluated through the marriage of spatial prescription maps with vineyard mechanization equipment.
The Efficient Vineyard project team has demonstrated that the spatial-data driven vineyard is possible now (watch this summary video).
