CHALLENGES

Alan Kristančič, from Kristalvin house in the Goriška Brda region produces top quality wines from different grape varieties. Due to the big geographical dispersal of vineyards, Alan consumes a lot of time inspecting vineyard conditions (disease progression, grape ripening, etc.). He also does not have the necessary information how (in)efficient, the artificial irrigation in certain parts of the vineyards, is. He also misses the information on how much spray actually remains on the vines after every time spraying (foliage cover).

SOLUTION

With the installation of FeelGrid sensoric system and the use of FeelGrid application, Alan gained a precious insight into all the data available to him at any time and from any location – all you need is a PC, tablet or smart phone. Now he can accurately determine how much and when he will have to irrigate and spray, he can determine when and how the risk of developing a disease develops, etc..

FEELGRID

• air temperature, relative humidity,
• leaf wetness (on both sides),
• rainfall, speed and wind strength,
• lighting, air pressure,
• Earth temperature (at two depths),
• Earth moisture (at two depths).
• piovosità, velocità e intensità del vento,
• illuminazione, pressione atmosferica,
• Temperatura del suolo (su 2 livelli),
• Umidità del suolo (su 2 livelli).
