Cesens® participated in the technical seminar “Viticulture 4.0: Precision Viticulture” held last Wednesday, April 25. Speakers included Enrique García Escudero from the The La Rioja Government’s Viticultural Research Service, which opened the conference by discussing the state of the art, José Miguel Peña from the The University of La Rioja, which showcased practical applications in precision viticulture, and Eduardo Sáenz de Cabezón from the University of La Rioja, who discussed the grape berry moth as it relates to the Rioja Designation of Origin and how to prevent it.
Carlos Acedo (Technical Manager at Encore Lab) wrapped up the event by highlighting the main advantages of the Cesens® and Cesens® Mini stations, a smaller version of our vineyard monitoring system.
As the name suggests, precision viticulture is based on the meticulous collection of agroclimatic data in the vineyard and the processing of that data to make the best decisions regarding irrigation, treatments, and tillage. Cesens® stations feature a catalog of 47 types of sensors that provide all the necessary information about the crop.
The 70 attendees watched with great interest as Carlos Acedo gave a live demonstration of our Cesens® web application, showcasing graphs, historical data, predictive models, alert setup, and an exclusive preview of the new irrigation control tool.
