[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.

Precision agriculture is a reality in agriculture and is playing a key role as the industry comes to terms with the environment, market forces, quality requirements, traceability, vehicle guidance and crop management. Sensors now in use in agriculture are generating ‘Big Data’ leading to the use of machine learning and AI - an increasing challenge for agriculture. Research continues to be necessary, and needs to be reported and disseminated to a wide audience. These edited proceedings contain peer reviewed papers presented at the 14th European Conference on Precision Agriculture, held in Bologna, Italy. The papers reflect the wide range of disciplines that impinge on precision agriculture - technology, crop science, soil science, agronomy, information technology, decision support, remote sensing, data analysis and others. The broad range of research topics reported will be a valuable resource for researchers, advisors, teachers and professionals in agriculture long after the conference has finished.

An Unlikely Vineyard tells the evolutionary story of Deirdre Heekin's farm from overgrown fields to a fertile, productive, and beautiful landscape that melds with its natural environment. Is it possible to capture landscape in a bottle? To express its terroir, its essence of place--geology, geography, climate, and soil--as well as the skill of the winegrower? That's what Heekin and her chef/husband, Caleb Barber, set out to accomplish on their tiny, eight-acre hillside farm and vineyard in Vermont. But An Unlikely Vineyard involves much more. It also presents, through the example of their farming journey and winegrowing endeavors, an impressive amount of information on how to think about almost every aspect of gardening: from composting to trellising; from cider and perry making to growing old garden roses, keeping bees, and raising livestock; from pruning (or not) to dealing naturally with pests and diseases. Challenged by cold winters, wet summers, and other factors, Deirdre and Caleb set about to grow not only a vineyard, but an orchard of heirloom apples, pears, and plums, as well as gardens filled with vegetables, herbs, roses, and wildflowers destined for their own table and for the kitchen of their small restaurant. They wanted to create, or rediscover, a sense of place, and to grow food naturally using the philosophy and techniques gleaned from organic gardening, permaculture, and biodynamic farming. Accompanied throughout by lush photos, this gentle narrative will appeal to anyone who loves food, farms, and living well.

Modern tree fruit orchards and vineyards constitute complex production systems that are exposed to highly dynamic and stochastic natural, financial and societal forces, and face demands for increased production using fewer resources, with reduced environmental impact. Successful operation of orchards and vineyards under these conditions is practically impossible without careful and extensive use of state-of-the-art automation technologies and careful planning of future operations (e.g., training systems when replanting) that can be enabled by knowledge of emerging technologies and future trends. Also, improvement of existing automation technologies and development of novel future systems cannot be accomplished without a working understanding of the tree and vine biological production systems, their management needs, and the capabilities and limitations of existing automation systems. The book aims to provide the necessary knowledge to achieve the above goals in a way that can engage readers without engineering or horticultural backgrounds.

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.

Grapevine is a crop of major economical interest, and wine represents a multicultural heritage which has been growing since several milleniums. Yet, modern viticulture must face several challenges. Global climate has increased berry sugar content (and alcohol in the wine) whereas phenolic and aromatic ripeness are not always achieved. Water supply is becoming shorter. New varieties better adapted to new climatic conditions might have to be planted, which may affect wine typicity. Phytochemical treatments are more controlled, and the consumer pays increasing attention to environmentally safe practices. New methods reducing pesticide use, but maintaining yield and typicity, must be designed. The present book illustrates the recent progress made in ecophysiology, molecular and cell biology, and pathology of grapevine, as well as in precision viticulture and berry composition. Combination of these new tools with field observations will undoubtly make it easier to face the challenges described above. These multidisciplinary contributions will be of interest to anyone involved in grapevine and wine activities.
