Services - Vineyard Information Management and Analysis

Vineyard operations are tracked using GIS. This aids in the compilation of data throughout the growing season. Storing the data electronically in a central location makes it more accessible to vineyard managers and others. This accessibility, combined with the powerful analytic capabilities of GIS, promotes well-informed decision-making and increased productivity.

The type of information that is stored and analyzed historically includes:

-Data Vines -Labor Costs

-Yields -Chemicals Applied

-Petiole Data -Sugar Levels

-Bud Break -Pruning Weights

-Cluster Counts -Irrigation Schedules

-NDVI -Pressure Bomb Readings

-Veraison

Key Benefits

-Cost savings though more precise planning, purchasing and

application of vineyard inputs
