In the Pavlomir Winery, a demonstration activity was organized by the Directorate for Professional Support for the Development of Agriculture of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in cooperation with the company Alti Agro and the Kvarner Wines Association, where the possibilities of using the AI software platform were presented, which enables the monitoring of the vitality of the vines via multispectral drones, the detection of missing vines, the zoning of vineyards according to lushness, the integration of meteorological data and the application of predictive models for the most common vine diseases.
In addition to digital analytics, the treatment of vineyards with foliar fertilizers using drones was presented, as well as precise and variable fertilization - which reduces resource consumption, protects the environment, and enables work even in difficult-to-access terrain.
The application of such technologies brings a number of concrete benefits for winegrowers:
The activity was also supported by the Primorsko-Goranska County, the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development of the Primorsko-Goranska County, the Agency for Payments in Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development and a number of local self-government units from the Primorsko-Goranska County.
Kvarner winegrowing needs to adapt and accept new technologies, as well as smart and precise agriculture, all with the aim of improving grape quality and ecologically oriented production, and I believe that, in cooperation with institutions, we will move towards purchasing a platform and its implementation throughout Kvarner - said Anton Brusić, president of the Kvarner Wines Association.
