A conference publication on Precision Viticulture was presented at the 9th Mediterranean Conference on Embedded Computing (IEEE MECO’2020) Conference. The paper title is “Precision Viticulture Using Wireless Sensor Network” and the authors are V. Maras, T. Popovic, S. Gajinov, M. Mugosa, V. Popovic, A. Savovic, K. Pavicevic, and V. Mirovic. The paper is a result of collaboration between the company “13. jul Plantaže”, DunavNET and UDG. It is focused on irrigation optimization and this is a part of DIPOL cross-project collaboration effort.
ABSTRACT—This Viticulture has always, by definition, been a “precision” production: detailed knowledge of not only individual vineyards, but also each grapevine individually, provided detailed programming of work operations and production factors adapted for each parcel individually or, better said, for each part of a single parcel. The spatial variability of a particular vineyard can be due to any difference in any element or property for each of the natural, biological, agronomic factors which influence vine performance and the expression of grape and wine characters. This research is aimed at developing methods to quantify temporal variability observed within vineyards and to use data processing tools to assist wine producers and viticulturists to control, analyse and make decisions from so-provided information. Combining the technologies and methodologies will allow wine growers to improve and optimize production systems by taking into account technical and economic aspects of management as well as environmental issues at an intra-parcel (sub-block) level.
