Event Overview
Picture hillside vineyards in the Finger Lakes, sprawling grape farms on the Lake Erie plain, and the manicured canopies of Long Island’s North Fork — all romantic viticulture images of New York, where handcrafted grape growing has been built on the traditional marriage of soil, vine, and sun. Yet these water-moderated environments, which make it possible to grow quality grapes in New York, also introduce a high degree of agricultural variability, creating many challenges for juice and wine production.
Researchers at Cornell University’s School of Integrative Plant Science are leaning into vineyard variability challenges with new digital agriculture solutions. They are bringing engineers into the vineyard to develop and test various soil, canopy, and crop sensors; working with software specialists to map and integrate spatial vineyard information; and using variable-rate technology for precision vineyard management.
Join us for a 90-minute webcast led by Justine Vanden Heuvel and Terry Bates, who will describe how precision viticulture offers a whole new set of tools for producers to target yield, quality, and sustainability goals.
