New app developments, disease modelling, drones, robotic yield assessment, lasers and synthetic yeast are some of the 21st century technologies at the workshop.
Keeping up with technology is a job in itself and this workshop will focus on the work of industry leaders and researchers from across Australia to help growers and winemakers drive innovation and save money and time in the vineyard.
It’s an opportunity for local vignerons to explore how technology can help the industry adopt new ways of thinking and doing things.
Updates on the latest developments to dramatically improve the ability to forecast wine grape yields, including image analysis and neural networks, will be delivered by DPI.
The successful use of drones to spread predatory insects in targeted areas of vineyard blocks for integrated pest management and demonstrations of drones capturing live data to boost crop management and business decision making will feature on the program.
A new global partnership to develop synthetic yeast and advances in the control of scale, based on recent trials conducted in South Australia will be delivered by scientists from NSW DPI, Macquarie University and industry specialists.
