AI vineyard monitoring analyses drone, tractor-mounted and handheld camera imagery for vigour, water stress and visible signs of disease, and maps what it finds to blocks and rows. The agronomist inspects and decides any treatment.

A vineyard drone with a multispectral camera shows canopy vigour across a whole estate in one flight, usually as an index such as NDVI. That is good for finding weak patches, irrigation faults and uneven ripening, and for planning selective harvests. It is less good at diagnosing disease from above: early downy mildew and powdery mildew show first on individual leaves and bunches, often under the canopy.
Close-range cameras on a tractor, a quad or a phone see those symptoms better, because they look at leaves and clusters from the side. Grape disease detection models trained on that imagery can flag likely mildew, botrytis and other visible symptoms. In both cases the honest output is a ranked list of places worth inspecting, not a diagnosis. Disease risk models that use weather data add the timing.

With a multispectral camera, mainly differences in canopy vigour and water stress across the vineyard, which point to soil, irrigation and ripening variation. Disease symptoms on leaves and bunches are harder to see from above and are better detected by close-range cameras. Drone operation in the EU falls under the EASA rules in Implementing Regulation 2019/947.
It can flag visible symptoms of diseases such as downy mildew, powdery mildew and botrytis in close-range images, and weather-based models estimate infection risk. Accuracy depends on the camera, the lighting, the variety and how well the model was trained on similar vineyards, so we test on the estate's own imagery first. A flag is a reason to inspect, not a diagnosis.
In the EU, aerial spraying of plant protection products is generally prohibited under Directive 2009/128/EC, with limited derogations granted nationally, and rules differ by country. We do not build spraying systems. Our work is on the monitoring side: helping the agronomist decide where to look, while treatment decisions and their legal basis stay with the estate.
