Description

The research program focuses on digital and precision viticulture. Specifically, it aims at improving the acquisition and the reliability of vineyard vigor maps using a drone-mounted multispectral camera, during phenological phases and using innovative approaches. Activities include ground-truthing of spatial variability in vigor at various levels: physiological, qualitative and quantitative, related to the withering aptitude of the grapes, and molecular.
