DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED VINEYARD MANAGEMENT

  • Field: Enology
  • Companies: Grupo Rioja – Labor – Bodegas del Medievo
  • Institutions: ADER- EU Commission

The aim of this project is to provide SME associations with the first integrated management solution to support winegrowers throughout the entire vineyard cycle, from planting to harvest, with the aim of addressing problems of production quality and variability through an advanced decision support system. This DSS will be based on the production of consolidated models applied to viticulture, and will help users in day-to-day management procedures, thanks to a user-friendly web interface, assessing for example the unique irrigation needs of each plot, controlling the growth phase of the grape, as well as its vigour and maturity, while optimizing the use of fertilizers and pesticides and limiting the intervention of operators in the field.
