Spatio-temporal dynamics of grape anthocyanin accumulation in a Tempranillo vineyard monitored by proximal sensing [PDF]

, 2012
Background and Aims: The spatio-temporal variability of phenol grape composition in a vineyard can be characterised by using precision viticulture tools. Characterising anthocyanin variation in grapes requires a large number of observations, which can be

Automated Lawn Maintenance: An Agronomic and Operational Review of Turf Health, Biodiversity, and Field Performance

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grass mowing is one of the most resource‐consuming activities in green maintenance, whether in private areas such as home gardens or in public spaces like urban parks. In recent years, concerns related to climate change, human health, and sustainability have become increasingly prominent in green maintenance, leading manufacturers and industry

The Variability of Berry Parameters Could Be an Indicator of the Potential Quality of the Vineyard

Plants
Background: Berry quality potential from a single vineyard is mainly defined based on some physicochemical parameters and subjective assessments. In this way, berry maturity variability would be a key factor affecting berry quality.

Characterizing the Intra-Vineyard Variation of Soil Bacterial and Fungal Communities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Vineyard soil microbial communities potentially mediate grapevine growth, grape production as well as wine terroir. Simultaneously assessing shifts of microbial community composition at the intra-vineyard scale allows us to decouple correlations among ...

Approaches to More Efficient Vineyard Management

HortScience, 1985
Abstract Grapevines are not free standing and therefore must be provided with a support system to produce an economically commercial crop. Grapes traditionally have been trained and modified to provide a support system for production, but these systems have not necessarily been well-suited to mechanization. Currently, there is a major

Spraying drones: efficacy of integrating an avian repellent with drone hazing to elicit blackbird flock dispersal and abandonment of sunflower fields

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Multiple management strategies exist to combat bird damage to agriculture. We explored combining two tools, drones as frightening devices and an avian repellent, to assess effectiveness of an integrated method to deter large flocks on complex landscapes. We evaluated the ability of a spraying drone (DJI Agras MG‐1P) deploying Avian Control (i.e. active
