Soil Health and Irrigation Management in Vineyards
Client: A premium vineyard facing irrigation challenges across its expansive terrain
Challenge: The vineyard experienced inconsistent grape quality and water management issues, leading to reduced production and higher water consumption costs. Traditional soil monitoring methods didn’t provide real-time or field-wide insights.
Solution: Clame deployed drones equipped with thermal and multispectral sensors to assess soil moisture levels and vineyard topography. The data was integrated into an information management system to deliver real-time irrigation recommendations and soil health assessments.
Results:
- Water usage was reduced by 25% through precise irrigation strategies based on drone-generated moisture maps.
- Improved grape quality and yield by 15% due to optimized water distribution across the vineyard.
- Significant cost savings on water and improved sustainability metrics for the vineyard.
