Example Uses Our customers refer to our images throughout the year. In the winter, many growers develop a farm plan by marking the vineyards based on vigor variations. Fertilizer may be added in weaker areas to improve uniformity. Our customers also use our NDVIs as the basis for developing a cultivation plan. During spring, the aerial images are used to direct mowing and discing. NDVIs can help guide pruning decisions and be correlated with pruning weight ratio. Using color images and vigor maps (NDVI) as guides, soil moisture sampling can be performed (e.g. measuring the amount of water present in the soil using the neutron probe). Our NDVIs also provide guidance for pressure chamber site selection and scouting to obtain information about the vine stress. Additionally, NDVIs can guide sugar sampling, tasting and timing and separation of harvest. ![]() |
