DIGITALIZATION IN VINEYRDS’ MONITORING

Abstract

The analysis of digital solutions in the field of viticulture in different countries showed that almost all modern information technologies have found their application, large corporations, together with scientific institutions, are actively proposing new approaches to the monitoring system of precision viticulture in order to im-prove the quality of grape products, their safety on the principles of environmental friendliness and sustainable development. Digitalization in the monitoring system of vineyards includes diverse tasks − taking into account agrobiologi-cal and phenological accounting of variety sample grape and plantations during field stud-ies of vineyards, collecting spatial data on soil sampling, and conducting an inventory. Each case requires its own digital tools, with a dif-ferent set of fields and functions for collecting, analyzing and visualizing data. Their develop-ment and implementation in the research work of AZESV&W allows employees to significant-ly optimize their work, increase the accuracy of data in variety studies, soil studies of vineyard lands and a number of other areas of scientific viticulture. The key effect of using the digital technology of agricultural accounting is to ob-tain the results of calculating agrobiological ac-counting and the yield of various grape varie-ties in real time, grouping data in the form of a single information array based on automated codification of varieties. An automated system of agrobiological and phenological accounting of grape varieties made it possible to solve a number of research and organizational tasks in the field using a smartphone and the Internet.
