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.

Grafting, the most sustainable way to control phylloxera over 150 years

Just over 150 years ago, phylloxera, daktulosphaera vitifoliae, was introduced to europe, and particularly france, from north america via imports of american vitis plants. This aphid, with its complex biology and life cycle, has spread rapidly to most vineyards, causing rapid and lethal decline of v. Vinifera vines due to the primary and secondary damage it causes to the roots. In response to this pest, and given the economic importance of the french wine sector, professional representatives organised into ‘agricultural societies’, scientists and public authorities rallied together to identify the exact causes, seek solutions and try to stem the serious socio-economic crisis that ensued.

Biomarker-based phenotyping of grapevine (vitis spp.) resistance to plasmopara viticola reveals interactions between pyramided resistance loci

Grape downy mildew, caused by plasmopara viticola, is one of the main diseases affecting viticulture worldwide and its control usually relies on frequent sprays with agrochemicals. Grapevine varieties resistant to p. Viticola represent an effective solution to control downy mildew and reduce the environmental impact of viticulture. Loci of resistance to p. Viticola (Rpv) have been introgressed from wild vitis species and some of them, like Rpv1, Rpv3.1 and Rpv10, are currently the most utilized genetic resources in grape breeding.

New highlights of polyphenols from red wine to counteract ocular degenerative diseases

More recently, studies have shown that polyphenols could also prevent or improve vision in patients with ocular diseases and especially age-related macular degeneration (AMD) which is an eye disease characterized by damage to the central part of the retina, the macula, and that affects millions of people worldwide. Despite therapeutic advances thanks to the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), many resistance mechanisms have been found to accentuate the visual deficit.

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.

For this reason, in the study, the effects of different crop loads and pruning processes on grape yield, quality characteristics and vine development in the early sweet (vitis vinifera L.) Grape variety were investigated.
