"SPANISH VITICULTURE CONSTITUTES A VERY RELEVANT ECONOMIC SECTOR, WHICH HAS ENHANCED THE CONSTITUTION OF MANY RESEARCH TEAMS ON THAT SUBJECT. HOWEVER, THE DEGREE OF COORDINATION AMONG THEM IS FREQUENTLY SMALL, MAKING THAT EVERY GROUP DOES NOT BENEFIT FROM THE ACTIVITY AND RESULTS OF THE OTHERS DUE TO LACK OF COMMUNICATION, STANDARDIZATION AND SHARED DATABASES.

"THE PROPOSED PROJECT IDENTIFIES PHOTONIC-BASED TOOLS AS KEY ELEMENTS TO IMPROVE CROP MONITORING IN ORDER TO DETECT AREAS WITHIN PLANTATIONS THAT, FOR VARIOUS REASONS, ARE NOT AT THEIR OPTIMUM LEVEL OF PRODUCTION OR QUALITY. IT ALSO SEEKS TO ADJUST THE INCORPORATION OF AGRICULTURAL INPUTS IN THOSE AREAS ON A SITE-SPECIFIC BASIS THUS REDUCING FARM COSTS, AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. IN THIS SENSE, ONE OF THE KEY MILESTONES IN TREE CROPS IS THE OPTIMIZATION OF PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS (PPP) TREATMENTS.

THIS SUBPROJECT IS PART OF A COORDINATED PROJECT WHICH IS FOCUSED ON THE USE OF PHOTONIC-BASED TOOLS TO IMPROVE THE USE OF PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS (PPP) IN ORCHARD AND VINEYARDS.
