  • Field experiment: Can UAVs (drones) be used to prevent frost damage in the vineyard?

    Field experiment Can UAVs (drones) be used to prevent frost damage in the vineyard

    Summary: Frost events during the grapevine growing season can cause extensive frost damage and thus enormous economic losses for winegrowers across the globe. As active frost protection measures can be very costly, we looked into the possibility of using UAVs (large, machine-powered drones), which are getting more and more space in the viticulture industry – […]
