Soil Moisture and Grape Quality in a Vineyard

The University of Bologna installed a Finapp probe in a 12 hectare vineyard near Imola with subsurface drip irrigation. The probe detected moisture changes from irrigation at 25 cm depth and matched a point sensor well. The study links soil moisture to vine water status and grape ripening, supporting smarter irrigation.
