1 Introduction

Grape cultivation holds significant economic and agricultural importance globally, as grapes are one of the most widely grown commercial fruit crops and a key component of the wine industry (Ozdemir et al., 2017). The demand for high-quality grapes has driven the adoption of innovative agricultural practices, such as precision viticulture, which leverages advanced technologies to enhance production efficiency and sustainability (Spachos and Gregori, 2019).

 

Precision agriculture technology, particularly precision viticulture, plays a crucial role in modern grape cultivation. It involves the use of technologies like GPS, remote sensing, and IoT to monitor and manage vineyard variability, thereby improving grape quality and yield while minimizing environmental impacts (Ozdemir et al., 2017; Pero et al., 2024). These technologies enable site-specific management practices, such as variable rate irrigation and nutrient application, which have been shown to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve resource use efficiency (Balafoutis et al., 2017; Pereyra et al., 2022).

 

Traditional grape cultivation methods face several challenges, including the impacts of climate change and resource waste. Water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, threatens the economic viability of grape production, necessitating efficient water management strategies (Finco et al., 2022). Additionally, conventional practices often lead to resource inefficiencies and increased environmental footprints, highlighting the need for more sustainable approaches (Balafoutis et al., 2017; Marcu et al., 2022).

 

This study will analyze relevant case studies to summarize the implementation process of precision grape cultivation techniques and explore their effectiveness in improving yield and achieving sustainability. This research provides insights for researchers on how precision grape cultivation addresses the challenges faced by traditional methods and promotes the sustainable development of the grape industry.

 

2 Concept and Principles of Precision Viticulture

2.1 Definition of precision viticulture

Precision viticulture (PV) is a specialized branch of precision agriculture that focuses on optimizing vineyard management through the use of advanced technologies. These technologies include the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and various sensing devices, which enable the collection of high-resolution data on meteorological and soil conditions (Figure 1). This data is crucial for making informed decisions that enhance land productivity and crop quality (Matese and Gennaro, 2015; Pero et al., 2024). The integration of remote and proximal sensing technologies, such as satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), further supports efficient vineyard management by providing detailed insights into spatial variability and vine health (Spachos and Gregori, 2019; Mucalo et al., 2024).

Data-driven decision support systems (DSS) play a pivotal role in precision viticulture by analyzing vast amounts of data collected from various sources. These systems help viticulturists make informed decisions regarding vineyard management practices, such as irrigation, fertilization, and pest control, thereby improving both the economic and environmental sustainability of vineyards (Ammoniaci et al., 2021). The use of advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms enhances the ability to predict and respond to vineyard conditions, ultimately leading to more precise and effective management strategies (Santesteban, 2019; Ferro and Catania, 2023).

 

2.2 Key principles

Precision viticulture emphasizes the importance of site-specific management practices, such as variable-rate fertilization and irrigation, which are tailored to the unique conditions of each vineyard zone. This approach not only improves grape quality and yield but also minimizes environmental impacts by reducing the use of water, fertilizers, and pesticides (Balafoutis et al., 2017; Finco et al., 2022). The integration of wireless sensor networks and smart UAVs allows for real-time monitoring and precise application of inputs, optimizing resource use and enhancing vineyard sustainability (Spachos and Gregori, 2019).

 

A fundamental principle of precision viticulture is the recognition and management of spatial and temporal variability within vineyards. By delineating zones of differential treatment based on detailed data analysis, viticulturists can apply site-specific management practices that address the unique needs of each area. This approach not only improves vineyard productivity but also ensures that resources are used efficiently and sustainably (Arnó et al., 2009; Mucalo et al., 2024).

 

2.3 Technological framework

A closed-loop management model is essential for the effective implementation of precision viticulture. This model involves continuous data collection, analysis, and feedback, enabling viticulturists to make timely and informed decisions. Technologies such as variable-rate machines, robotics, and DSS are integral to this framework, providing the tools necessary for precise vineyard management (Ammoniaci et al., 2021). By leveraging these technologies, viticulturists can enhance the sustainability and efficiency of their operations, ultimately leading to higher yields and improved grape quality (Matese and Gennaro, 2015; Ferro and Catania, 2023).

 

3 Core Technologies in Precision Viticulture

3.1 Remote sensing and drone technology

Remote sensing and drone technology are pivotal in monitoring vineyard health and growth dynamics. Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) and satellites provide high-resolution imagery that helps in assessing vine health, water content, and overall vigor through various vegetation indices (Hall et al., 2002; Sassu et al., 2021; Mucalo et al., 2024). These technologies enable the creation of prescription maps and variable rate applications, which enhance sustainability and efficiency in vineyard management by reducing the reliance on chemical interventions (Mucalo et al., 2024). The flexibility and low operating costs of UASs make them essential tools for vineyard variability monitoring and disease detection (Sassu et al., 2021).

 

3.2 Sensor networks

Sensor networks, including wireless sensor networks (WSNs), are crucial for real-time environmental data collection in vineyards. These networks facilitate the monitoring of soil moisture and climate conditions, which are essential for optimizing irrigation strategies and managing crop water stress (Spachos and Gregori, 2019; Finco et al., 2022). For example, the Bioristor sensor developed by the U.S. National Research Council is an innovative tool based on flexible sensing technology that can monitor plant physiological parameters in real time, such as water potential, nutrient transport, and environmental responses. Its application in grapevines aims to enable remote and real-time monitoring of vineyard health by integrating IoT technology (Figure 2). The integration of WSNs with smart UAVs allows for uninterrupted monitoring and high-resolution data collection, optimizing production efficiencies and input applications (Spachos and Gregori, 2019). This real-time data collection supports decision-making processes, helping viticulturists to apply site-specific management practices effectively.

A French winery has successfully implemented precise fertilization and irrigation techniques to optimize grape production. This approach involves the use of advanced technologies such as variable rate application (VRA) and remote sensing to monitor and manage vineyard conditions effectively. By analyzing soil moisture levels and employing variable rate nutrient applications, the winery has been able to tailor its fertilization and irrigation strategies to the specific needs of different vineyard zones, thereby increasing yields while minimizing environmental impact (Matese and Gennaro, 2015; Balafoutis et al., 2017). The integration of IoT and machine learning technologies further supports these efforts by providing predictive tools that enhance land productivity and crop quality (Pero et al., 2024).

 

4.2 Precision pest and disease management

In Italy, a vineyard has adopted artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance its pest and disease management strategies, particularly for combating downy mildew. By integrating AI with IoT-driven machine learning models, the vineyard can predict high-risk periods for disease outbreaks, allowing for timely and precise pesticide applications. This method not only reduces the amount of chemicals used but also minimizes the environmental footprint of vineyard operations (Mucalo et al., 2024; Pero et al., 2024). The use of satellite data and ground-based measurements provides detailed insights into vine health and environmental conditions, enabling the vineyard to implement targeted management practices that improve sustainability and productivity (Spachos and Gregori, 2019; Mucalo et al., 2024). This case exemplifies how advanced analytics and AI can revolutionize traditional viticulture practices, leading to more sustainable and efficient vineyard management (Santesteban, 2019; Ferro and Catania, 2023).

 

4.3 Improving resource utilization efficiency

In the context of precision viticulture, the implementation of sensor networks has proven to be a pivotal strategy for enhancing resource utilization efficiency, particularly in water management. An Australian vineyard successfully reduced its irrigation water usage by 50% through the deployment of advanced sensor networks. These networks integrate data from various sources, including remote and proximal sensors, to monitor the hydric stress status of the vineyard. This approach allows for precise irrigation scheduling, ensuring that water is applied only when necessary, thus conserving this vital resource (Finco et al., 2022). Additionally, a vineyard in Lleida, Spain, has further enhanced the precision of water management practices by integrating satellite data with ground-based measurements. This approach optimized water-use efficiency and reduced the environmental impact of vineyard operations (Figure 3) (Bellvert et al., 2020; Mucalo et al., 2024).. By adopting these technologies, the vineyard not only achieved significant water savings but also maintained or improved grape yield and quality, demonstrating the economic viability of precision irrigation systems (Bellvert et al., 2020).
