- Abstract
In viticulture, the use of precision agriculture (AP) techniques, named in this case precision viticulture (VP), is considered relatively recent. In this sense, the present work sought to diagnose the adoption of VP tools and techniques by winegrowers from the Denomination of Origin Vale dos Vinhedos, located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul - Brazil. The research was exploratory and descriptive, making use of qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. Data were collected through the application of 21 questionnaires to the winery representatives of the region. Only 5 (23.81%) winegrowers were identified as VP, evidencing the low rate of adoption of the technology in the region. Among the techniques and tools of the VP adopted in the Denomination of Origin Vale dos Vinhedos are the georeferencing of the areas, the maps of quality and productivity, the application of fertilizers at varied rates, the georeferenced soil analysis, the application of pesticides at a varied rate, the segmented harvest and the georeferenced monitoring of grape quality parameters. As difficulties in using VP technology, the main ones were the high cost and difficulty of operationalizing the technologies, the lack of resources to implement the complete system and financing lines, as well as the lack of service providers, and the cost of these. The low rate of adoption of this technology reflects the incipient diffusion of this technology among the region's winegrowers.
