VineView - Vine Vigor Products | Scientifically Calibrated Vigor Mapping

PureVine™ Vigor Pro

VineView's PureVine™ Vigor Pro package includes estimated Plant Counts, Vigor Statistics, PureVine™ Zones, Canopy Gaps and Canopy Width.

With VineView’s suite of scientifically-calibrated vine vigor maps, you get insightful, timely information to improve grape quality and yield and reduce costs associated with:

Homogenization

Identify and reduce variability across parcels for optimal vine balance.

Harvest Segmentation

Locate areas in your parcels to increase and improve the production of premium grapes and optimize harvest scheduling.

Canopy Management

Control the microclimate of your vines to improve grape quality and yield.

PureVine™ EVI

Evaluate vineyard health and uniformity with detailed vigor maps and granular plant-level resolution of isolated canopy data.

PureVine™ Zones

Save time and improve fruit and harvest quality by using PureVine™ Zones maps to ensure representative sampling, precision farming and differential harvesting.

Canopy Gaps

Identify areas of diseased, missing, young or dead vines at the plant level — which can be used to better predict yields and optimize vineyard productivity.

Canopy Width

Assess canopy structure with PureVine™ Canopy Width, measured in feet.

Aerial Color Image

Identify vineyard boundaries, orientation of rows and new plantings with a high resolution color vineyard image.

Color Infrared

Highlights photosynthetically active vegetation at 6-inch resolution.

EVI Statistics Report

A comprehensive vineyard productivity and field efficiency analysis, including a vigor statistics report with number of plants, acres, and variability within vineyard.

What customers are saying about our products:

“VineView brought attention to a portion of a block that was severely stressed. After scouting and testing this area, we discovered that trunk disease was responsible. We were able to quickly adjust our management strategies to prevent further spread of the disease.”

Alec KlobucharYount Mill Vineyards

“VineView provides practical information for viticultural decision making.”

Brooke ParsonsBevill Vineyard Management

“VineView’s redleaf maps have saved my team many working hours by giving us a targeted approach of where we should scout for disease. We are able to quickly pinpoint the most problematic areas, identify the root cause, and rectify the problem before it spreads out of control."

Randy HeinzenVineyard Professional Services

“At Hall Wines, we rely on VineView’s imagery to help guide harvest picking zone decisions, fertilizer applications for weak zones, and retrofitting and redesigning irrigation zones to control vigor.”

Sarah LansingHall Wines

“Using VineView maps around veraison allows us to more accurately and efficiently create crop estimates to help me with harvest tank plans and barrel quantities… It also allows me to map exact areas for picks, flagging them within the vineyard, and sharing the map with the vineyard managers to ensure we are getting perfect subdivisions within blocks.”

What is EVI?

Our Calibrated Vine Vigor data products are created using the Enhanced Vegetation Index, a ratio of how much sunlight is reflected off the plants in different colour bands, including infrared.

Did you know?

NDVI has been the standard multi-spectral image used to measure vigor in the wine industry, but unfortunately, NDVI has a number of inherent shortcomings. One of the most important shortcomings is that the data is highly dependent on the time of day at which the image is taken. This is because of the change in solar angle. This means that using NDVI has the potential to provide inaccurate information and can show different data at different times of the day. NDVI results also vary based on other factors, like shadowing or soil variations. In order to correct for these inaccuracies, our scientists have adopted a new, improved version of NDVI, called the Enhanced Vegetation Index. Using additional wavelengths of light, we are able to correct the errors associated with NDVI.

As you can see in the images above, NDVI produces vastly different results when taken at different times on the same day. Clearly the vigor of the vines has not changed over a 3-hour period, as would be implied from the images above.

Using additional spectral information and calculations, EVI corrects for the difference in atmospheric conditions and solar incidence angle, providing you with more accurate, actionable data.
