Advancing Grapevine Disease Detection with High Accuracy Spatial Information in Lodi Vineyards

The project aims to revolutionize crop health monitoring by leveraging NASA's advanced Airborne Visible/InfraRed Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS-NG) to detect the presence of the grapevine leafroll-associated virus complex 3 (GLRaV-3). GLRaV-3 is a viral disease that severely impacts grapevine health and crop yields, causing significant economic losses in the wine and grape industry annually. The remote sensing technique could revolutionize ground-based monitoring in the agriculture sector.
