What is precision viticulture?

Zone-by-zone vineyard management using IoT data to tailor water, sprays, harvests—no more one-size-fits-all.

How does IoT improve vineyards?

Sensors track soil/vine metrics real-time; drones map stress; platforms alert on issues—cuts waste 20-40%, boosts quality.

Can small vineyards afford precision viticulture?

Yes—startups offer pay-per-zone; ROI in 2 years via savings; grants help scale up.
