1. Precision Irrigation and Beyond: A Multi-Step Zoning Approach for Vineyard Water Management and Wine Quality Enhancement

Spatial variability in soil moisture, terrain, and vine physiology presents a major challenge for efficient water management in vineyards. Traditional uniform irrigation often fails to address this heterogeneity, limiting both water use efficiency and wine quality. This study investigated spatial and temporal variations in vine water stress over five consecutive growing seasons, and evaluated zone-specific precision agriculture strategies to support improved irrigation and complementary vineyard...
