Precision viticulture: Tool for production of quality grape

Abstract

Precision farming is a important tool for promoting sustainable agriculture. The integration of new technologies in vineyard management enhances production efficiency and quality while minimizing environmental impact. Advances in information and geographic sciences offer substantial potential for developing optimized solutions in distributed information systems for precision viticulture. Recent technological progress has resulted in valuable tools for monitoring and controlling various aspects of vine growth. Precision viticulture aims to leverage a wide array of observations to accurately depict spatial variations within vineyards and provide recommendations to enhance management efficiency concerning quality, yield, and sustainability. This review provides a concise overview on various technologies used in precision viticulture, divided into two main sections: monitoring technologies such as geolocation and remote/proximal sensing, and variable-rate technologies including new agricultural robots.
