Affected by climate change, the occurrence of pests and fungal diseases is also increasing in the wine growing areas of Germany. Above all, Peronospora can cause severe profit cuts, if not detected and treated in time. Crop protection treatment usually is scheduled with protective or curative strategies, following a positive indication of an infection. However, common planning methods are either imprecise, expensive, labor intensive or only applicable after an infestation has occurred. In the recent years, prognostic models, estimating fungal infestations based on weather data were generally accepted. However, the meaning of those models is limited by the restricted spatial availability of meteorological data and does only allow a general prognosis for a radius of multiple kilometers. Installation of multiple micro sensors directly in the rows of a vineyard does allow acquisition of the microclimate at multiple positions and thus can increase the precision of prognostic models in such a dimension, that crop protection can be scheduled for smaller scales, such as the vineyard or even the single vine level. By supplementary application of infra-red and hyperspectral imaging techniques, stress related physiological reactions of fungal infestations can be detected fast and for larger areas, which does allow a validation of the micro sensor based prognostic models. Also, unknown coherences can be detected and robust correlations for the prognostic models can be created by a combination of both methods.
