Training on both technical and regulatory aspects; Understanding different systems, watering principles, and advanced techniques such as automated management and remote sensing; Challenges: difficulties with integrating decision support tools, estimating and optimizing water usage, high costs, and ethical concerns about their environmental impact in the perspective of global water scarcity.
Precision Spraying Technology; Applying efficient sprayer technology; Sprayer settings, timing and positioning of treatments to reduce applications; Variable rate application; Fertilizers; Treatments.
Focus of training: making the use of robotics more accessible, practical, and beneficial for small to medium-sized farms, with a strong emphasis on cooperative use, technical skills, and socio-economic understanding. Challenges: concerns mainly for small-medium farms, include high costs, the perception of a limited return on investment, and the lack of adaptability to specific vineyard needs. There are ethical and cultural concerns about replacing human labor. Necessity for continuous training to effectively integrate robotics into existing farm practices. include drones and robots use issues.
