1 UCCE Sonoma County Grape Day February 8, 2017 Assessing variability in the vineyard through a spatially explicit selective-harvest approach A case study in Sonoma L. Brillante, A. Beebee, R. Yu, J. Martinez, C. Chen, C. Plank, L. Sanchez & S.K.Kurtural (PI) 2017 Grape Day Sonoma County February 8, 2016 Introduction Vineyards are variable in space The efficient vineyard project The field site in Sonoma Results OUTLINE Plan of the talk Terrain analysis Grapevine water status Our approach to the selective harvest Chemical differences between zones Conclusions & Perspectives 1

2 VARIABILITY IN VINEYARDS VARIABILITY IS A COST! VINEYARD VARIABILITY The project Dr Kaan Kurtural Lab Oakville Experimental Station UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGING SPATIAL VARIABILITY SITE SPECIFIC VARIABLE RATE MANAGEMENT 2

15 UCCE Sonoma County Grape Day February 8, 2017 Not only by pressure bomb: Modelling grapevine water status Brillante et al., Ecophysiological modelling of Burgundy wine terroirs by a machine learning approach. Front. Plant Sci. 7: /26/2017 Simulating grapevine water status in two different scenarios. Future: irrigation prescription to minimize variability in the field 30 2/26/

16 Not only by hands: selective harvest by mechanical means Kurtural et al Conclusions Vineyard variability affects harvest composition and then the wine Selective harvest can be a useful strategy when vineyard variability is too large to coalesce Water status allows to effectively discriminate between the harvest zones. Less of a need to take repeated measurements and can be easily modelled/sensed. 16

17 UCCE Sonoma County Grape Day February 8, 2017 Perspectives Need to evaluate relationships with our proximal sensors/water status modelling. Better investigate relationships with the environment, temporal variations. Wine analysis This is only one of the fields, we are testing variable rate management on the others. STAY TUNED!
