Acquired from flowering to the onset of veraison, SpecTerra Imagery is a highly practical, efficient and profitable tool widely used by viticulturists for:
- The application of strategic canopy management techniques
- A greater understanding of irrigation and fertiliser requirements
- Yield forecasting for logistics planning
- Zonal harvesting in accordance to fruit quality for greater homogeneity of outputs
- Overall environmental and economic viability
SpecTerra has been working in partnership with the Australian wine industry since the early outset of Precision Viticulture to pioneer high-quality, reliable and cost-effective applications of remote sensing data.
Selective harvesting is a feasible and profitable strategy even when grape and wine production is geared towards large fermentation volumes
