Using satellite NDVI for vineyard diagnostics

May 9, 2021

Satellites have been measuring NDVI over the entire planet for many years, but only recently has the data become accessible to the non-expert with the development of very user-friendly websites. This accessibility to the data has created opportunities for us to apply it in ways that can help illuminate many issues that we deal with in vineyards and other crops. The ability this gives us to "look back in time" is particularly helpful to answer questions today that are a consequence of conditions in the past.

A webinar was held on May 7, 2021 as an introduction to this topic; you can view a recording of this webinar at the following link:
