Estimating grapevine water status: a combined analysis of hyperspectral image and 3d point clouds

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study

Mild to moderate and timely water deficit is desirable in grape production to optimize fruit quality for winemaking. It is crucial to develop robust and rapid approaches to assess grapevine water stress for scheduling deficit irrigation. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has the potential to detect changes in leaf water status, but the robustness and accuracy are restricted in field applications. The varying leaf orientations can significantly affect how light interacts with the plant, ultimately influencing the reflectance properties. This study focused on developing an approach for detecting grapevine water status using HSI and 3D data. Leaf orientation parameters derived from 3D point clouds were integrated with spectral signatures to address the spectral variance caused by variations in leaf orientation. A water status assessment model was developed based on multiblock partial least squares (MBPLS) to estimate leaf water potential (ΨL) using spectral signatures and leaf orientation parameters.

Material and methods

HSI and 3D point clouds of selected leaves were captured simultaneously in a vineyard during the 2021 growing season, and ΨL was measured as the groundtruth to assess the model performance. Mean spectral reflectance was derived from the hyperspectral images, while leaf orientation parameters were extracted from 3D point cloud data. The dataset was split randomly into 70% training/calibration and 30% test datasets.

Results

The test result shows that the model estimated the ΨL with R2 = 0.8942, RMSE = 0.1153 MPa and MAE = 0.0894 MPa. The leaf orientation parameters derived from 3D point clouds acted as an enhancing component that explained the spectral variance caused by variations in leaf orientation and improved the underlying relationship between spectral reflectance and vine water status.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
