[CATALÀ] El present projecte consisteix en desenvolupar un Sistema d'informació geogràfica (SIG) que permeti algunes labors relacionades amb l'agricultura de precisió, com pot ser l'obtenció d'índex vegetatius, la gestió i anàlisi de dades agronòmiques geo-localitzades, o el mapejat de les necessitats de reg. D'altra banda es busca abaratir costos d'aquest procés mitjançant l'ús de software lliure per a l'anàlisi espacial o la captura de dades amb dron, cosa que podria estalviar els costos de l'aeronau i del pilot. Pel que fa a l'àmbit geogràfic, els estudis s'han realitzat entre Raimat (D.O. Costers del Segre), Viñas del Vero (D.O. Somontano) i Celler El Masroig (D.O. Montsant), ja que les anomenades societats han facilitat tot el material que ha estat possible, així com el suport tècnic i experiència en aquest sector. El requeriment de la viticultura de precisió d'aquest projecte és apropar aquesta tècnica als petits viticultors, actualment les dues barreres principals són: la inversió i l'acceptació de canvis en la manera de fer. Així doncs aquest projecte busca valorar els tipus d'inversions possibles amb el seu retorn d'inversió econòmic i també veure que la tècnica emprada per aquest procediment no és tant desorbitada. S'han estudiat diversos mètodes de captura de dades (satèl·lit, avioneta i dron) així com de tractament amb programari i algorismes privats; també amb programari lliure (QGIS i PgAdmin III ) i algorismes lògics. Cal destacar la vital col·laboració tant dels cellers, empreses privades de serveis i centres de coneixement i recerca en viticultura. [ANGLÈS] This project is to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) that allows some tasks related to precision agriculture, such as obtaining vegetative index, management and analysis of agronomic geo-localized data, or mapping the irrigation needs. On the other hand it seeks to cut costs of this process by using free software for spatial analysis or data capture with drone, which could save the costs of the aircraft and the pilot. The geographic landscape of study is located on Raimat (D.O. Costers del Segre), Viñas del Vero (D.O. Somontano) and Celler Masroig (D.O. Montsant), the mentioned wineries have provided all the material that has been possible, as well as the technical support and expertise in this sector. Generally, the precision viticulture requirement of this project, is to bring this technic to the small wine growers, the two main currently barriers are: the investment and acceptance of changes in the way they operate. This project seeks to evaluate the possible types of investment with the corresponding return of investment, also see that the technique used for this procedure is not as exorbitant. Have been studied different methods for data capture (satellite, aircraft and drone) such as treatment software and private algorithms; also free software (QGIS and PgAdmin III) and logical algorithms.

Wine has been described as a window into places, cultures and times. Geographers have studied wine since the time of the early Greeks and Romans, when viticulturalists realized that the same grape grown in different geographic regions produced wine with differing olfactory and taste characteristics. This book, based on research presented to the Wine Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers, shows just how far the relationship has come since the time of Bacchus and Dionysus. Geographers have technical input into the wine industry, with exciting new research tackling subjects such as the impact of climate change on grape production, to the use of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems for improving the quality of crops. This book explores the interdisciplinary connections and science behind world viticulture. Chapters cover a wide range of topics from the way in which landforms and soil affect wine production, to the climatic aberration of the Niagara wine industry, to the social and structural challenges in reshaping the South African wine industry after the fall of apartheid. The fundamentals are detailed too, with a comparative analysis of Bordeaux and Burgundy, and chapters on the geography of wine and the meaning of the term ‘terroir’.

Vineyards are typically managed uniformly over space, although known spatial variation exists in the performance of vines within and across vineyard blocks. Identifying spatial variability in crop performance at a large scale (one or a few vineyard blocks) is useful to vineyard managers wishing to address such variation by enacting separate management plans for differing areas of performance. Zonal management and the institution of precision viticultural practices (i.e. use of GIS and remote sensing techniques to study this spatial variation) has proven profitable for a number of reasons, namely zonal harvesting based on zone performance. This dissertation implements cutting-edge, practical, and low-cost equipment and techniques, specifically an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), digital cameras, and Structure from Motion (SfM), to identify spatial variation in grapevine canopy vigor at a vineyard in the Texas Hill Country American Viticultural Area. Three research objectives were addressed in this dissertation including: (1) the setup and implementation of a practical imaging system and processing methodology (digital cameras and a UAV) to produce very high spatial resolution orthophotomosaics of vineyards with visible and near-infrared bands, (2) observation of spatial and temporal variation in grapevine canopy vigor that can aid in improving vineyard management practice, and (3) development of a three-dimensional method for visualizing and quantifying vineyard canopy density. Results concluded that the low-cost tools and techniques outlined in this study provided a practical means by which to identify spatial variation in canopy vigor at the study vineyard. Of the three methods used to identify this variation, spectrally-based (NDVI), planimetrically-based (canopy extent), and three-dimensionally-derived (SfM point clouds), the latter two were most successful and would be recommended for future use. Most importantly, due to the low cost of the technology used to capture data for this study, the methodologies developed in this dissertation would be practical for implementation in other vineyards as well as in other areas of agriculture.

The first edition of Understanding Vineyard Soils has been praised for its comprehensive coverage of soil topics relevant to viticulture. However, the industry is dynamic--new developments are occurring, especially with respect to measuring soil variability, managing soil water, possible effects of climate change, rootstock breeding and selection, monitoring sustainability, and improving grape quality and the "typicity" of wines. All this is embodied in an increased focus on the terroir or "sense of place" of vineyard sites, with greater emphasis being placed on wine quality relative to quantity in an increasingly competitive world market. The promotion of organic and biodynamic practices has raised a general awareness of "soil health", which is often associated with a soil's biology, but which to be properly assessed must be focused on a soil's physical, chemical, and biological properties. This edition of White's influential book presents the latest updates on these and other developments in soil management in vineyards. With a minimum of scientific jargon, Understanding Vineyard Soils explains the interaction between soils on a variety of parent materials around the world and grapevine growth and wine typicity. The essential chemical and physical processes involving nutrients, water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, moderated by the activities of soil organisms, are discussed. Methods are proposed for alleviating adverse conditions such as soil acidity, sodicity, compaction, poor drainage, and salinity. The pros and cons of organic viticulture are debated, as are the possible effects of climate change. The author explains how sustainable wine production requires winegrowers to take care of the soil and minimize their impact on the environment. This book is a practical guide for winegrowers and the lay reader who is seeking general information about soils, but who may also wish to pursue in more depth the influence of different soil types on vine performance and wine character.
