In the second presentation of the session "Sustainable viticulture and soil management" of the ENOFORUM 2019 congress, Sara Legler introduces the new decision support tool developed by Horta srl within the Soil4Wine LIFE + project.
The new decision support tool guides the winemaker through consecutive steps and actions: a checklist of attributes for a first characterization of the site; a calculation module which, based on the characteristics of the site previously inserted, shows potential risk indexes for the various soil threats; each potential threat is accompanied by a verification / confirmation form that guides the user through monitoring in the vineyard to confirm its real existence; a decision-making module that suggests mitigative actions to be taken to improve soil conditions while also providing technical indications for their implementation; a registration form that allows you to record the activities performed in the vineyard and a verification / comparison sheet to evaluate the effectiveness of the mitigative actions implemented in the vineyard.
