Hyperspectral imaging for precision viticulture

Abstract

Precision viticulture aims to optimize vineyard management by monitoring and responding to variability within vine plots. This work presents a comprehensive study on the application of hyperspectral imaging (hsi) technology for monitoring purposes in precision viticulture.  Authors explore the deployment of hsi sensors on various platforms including laboratory settings, terrestrial vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles, facilitating the collection of high-resolution data across extensive vineyard areas. The technology’s capabilities are highlighted through its application in detecting early signs of diseases such as grapevine leafroll and red blotch viruses, evaluating water stress for informed irrigation, and mapping grape composition for precise canopy management and harvest timing. In the disease detection studies reported here, hsi coupled with machine learning demonstrated the ability to detect vines infected with viruses with 76% accuracy at the pre-symptomatic stage and 87% accuracy at the symptomatic stage compared to molecular tests and surpassing visual assessment by experts. In irrigation scheduling tasks, hsi data from nir to swir wavelengths helped manage irrigation by predicting vine water potential (ψstem) with significant accuracy (r2 = 0.54, rmse = 0.11 mpa). In on-the-go grape ripening monitoring, hsi on board of a utv was able to non-invasively assess grape composition, achieving high predictive accuracies for key grape parameters brix ( r2 = 0.91, nrmse of 7% ), ph (r2 = 0.90, nrmse = 6 %), ta (r2 = 0.85, nrmse of 7.5 (g/l)) , and total anthocyanins (r2 = 0.91, nrmse of 7 (mg/g berry fm)), thereby enhancing vineyard management by understanding spatial variability in grape attributes. The paper concludes with discussions on future directions of hsi in viticulture, emphasizing the need for automated data processing techniques and integration with other precision agriculture tools, underscoring the transformative potential of hyperspectral imaging in modernizing vineyard practices.

Sensoristica iperspettrale per la viticoltura di precisione

La viticoltura di precisione mira a ottimizzare la gestione dei vigneti monitorando e rispondendo alle variazioni all’interno delle parcelle. Questo lavoro presenta uno studio completo sull’applicazione della tecnologia di imaging iperspettrale (hsi) a scopo di monitoraggio nella viticoltura di precisione. Gli autori esplorano il dispiegamento di sensori hsi su varie piattaforme, inclusi ambienti di laboratorio, veicoli terrestri e veicoli aerei senza pilota, facilitando la raccolta di dati ad alta risoluzione su vaste aree di vigneto. Le capacità della tecnologia sono evidenziate attraverso la sua applicazione nel rilevamento precoce di malattie come i virus dell’accartocciamento fogliare e del red blotch, nella valutazione dello stress idrico per un’irrigazione informata, e nella mappatura della composizione dell’uva per una gestione precisa della chioma e della tempistica del raccolto. Negli studi di rilevamento delle malattie riportati qui, l’hsi abbinato all’apprendimento automatico ha dimostrato la capacità di rilevare viti infette da virus con una precisione del 76% allo stadio pre-sintomatico e dell’87% allo stadio sintomatico rispetto ai test molecolari e superando la valutazione visiva degli esperti. Nei compiti di programmazione dell’irrigazione, i dati hsi dalle lunghezze d’onda nir a swir hanno aiutato a gestire l’irrigazione prevedendo il potenziale idrico delle viti (ψstem) con un’accuratezza significativa (r2 = 0.54, rmse = 0.11 mpa). Nel monitoraggio della maturazione dell’uva on-the-go, l’hsi a bordo di un utv è stata in grado di valutare in modo non invasivo la composizione dell’uva, raggiungendo alte precisioni predittive per parametri chiave dell’uva brix (r2 = 0.91, nrmse del 7%), ph (r2 = 0.90, nrmse = 6%), ta (r2 = 0.85, nrmse di 7,5 (g/l)), e antociani totali (r2 = 0.91, nrmse del 7 (mg/g berry fm)), migliorando così la gestione del vigneto comprendendo la variabilità spaziale nelle caratteristiche dell’uva. Il documento si conclude con discussioni sulle future direzioni dell’hsi nella viticoltura, sottolineando la necessità di tecniche automatizzate di elaborazione dei dati e l’integrazione con altri strumenti di agricoltura di precisione, sottolineando il potenziale trasformativo dell’imaging iperspettrale nella modernizzazione delle pratiche viticole.

Three new Apulian seedless varieties available for the table grape supply chain

The table grape industry in Europe is undergoing significant changes. For instance, in Italy, the national register of vine varieties was established in 1969, and since then, many varieties of table grapes have been registered. In the first thirty years, from 1969 to 1999, 62 seeded and 24 seedless varieties were registered. In the subsequent period, from 2000 to the present day, 23 seeded varieties and 99 seedless varieties were registered.

What drives Indications of Geographical Origin protection and governance mechanisms in the U.S. and European contexts? A contribution of the social sciences

There are fundamentally two different ways in which indications of geographical origin (igos) can be protected. The us approach favors the pre-existing trademark system through collective marks (cms), while the eu approach favors a maximalist approach via a sui generis system which promotes appellations of origin (aos). A consensus however emerges regarding the fundamental protection of origin against misleading, confusing and dilutive uses. Previous literature discusses these competing igo logics from historical, legal and international trade perspectives. In this paper, we depart from the field of social sciences, in particular from recent advancements in the well-established literature on proximities, in order to provide a reflection on the different logics underpinning the aos and cms systems.

Isotopes to distinguish production system in Brazilian viticulture

Organic viticulture integrates practices aimed at foresting positive relationships among, vines, soil, and climate, with a focus on sustainability, social responsibility, and environmental protection. To safeguard production integrity, regulatory bodies worldwide conduct organic certifications in accordance with relevant regulations. Considering that agriculture practices influence the nitrogen, carbon and oxygen isotope composition, the study aimed to investigate the response of these isotopes in grape must cultivated by organic, biodynamic and conventional methods to distinguish between production systems.

Trends and challenges in International Wine Trade. The need for new strategies for companies and regions.

Trends already extended for more than 12 years show a decline in both consumption and international trade, particularly in volume. However, there are also positive signs in several categories of wine, segments and markets, as well as a better trend in terms of value. How are these trends affecting wine producers and distributors? Are they short or long term? do they mean radical and permanent changes to which a way of adaptation has to be found or are they just temporary changes that may only require some calm? How are companies adapting to these new trends? Which are their effects on wine regions?

Enhancing grapevine transformation and regeneration: A novel approach using developmental regulators and BeYDV-mediated expression

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a challenging plant species to transform and regenerate due to its complex genome and biological characteristics. This limits the development of cisgenic and gene-edited varieties. One hurdle is selecting the best starting tissue for the transformation process, much like isolating suitable tissue for protoplasts. One promising method involves delivering crispr/cas components to protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli, which are then induced to regenerate.
