The “Vineyards, Cartography” LAVILOG is used for technical monitoring of vine-growing, with the possibility of integrating a vineyard cartography system.

It is a practical and reliable tool for :

- the compilation of a database over the course of the winegrowing campaigns: listing of all growing and phytosanitary operations conducted in the vineyard, monitoring of ripeness levels, phenological phases and diseases, analyses of soils, leaf stalks and yields, management of harvest inputs.
- assistance in monitoring sustainable production specifications
- monitoring of tests carried out on the vineyard
- stock management (phytosanitary products, weed-killers and fertilizers).

Advantages of “Vineyards, Cartography” LAVILOG

- Simple, user-friendly, visual (cartography).
- Easy to learn and use: customized training, integrated online context-sensitive help (F1 key) and technical support always available.
- Each user works with the desired level of detail.
- Open source software: data export to standard Microsoft applications (Excel, Word, etc).
- High performing data analysis tools: cross-referencing of data via multi-criteria sorting operations.
- Upgradeability of the software according to user needs.

Specific interest of “Vineyards, Cartography” LAVILOG

- Better work organization, limiting the accumulation of written documents and archive problems.
- Centralization and structuring of data gathered, offering greater speed and facility of access: product traceability, history transmission.
- Data sharing.
- Large memory, making summarizing and decision-making easier, a key factor in the sustainable viticulture approach: calculations of production costs, comparison between various organizations and working formulae (external service providers, temporary staff, etc).
- Cartography: superimposition of theme maps (pedological maps and technical plots), facilitating the adaptation of the plants to the soil and decision-making for amendments.

Vineyard cartography by GPS

- Clear, easy view of the vine plots.
- Concrete representation of the vineyard (morphology of each plot).
- Analysis of the plot (colour representation of various parameters).
- Knowledge of the actual planted surface areas (technical surface areas) and calculation of lengths: simulations of plantations, calculation of the number of vines, optimized vine protection (better inputs management leading to gains in both financial and environmental terms), harvest estimates (calculation of potential yield).
