Description
3
With the sap flow sensors, you can “listen” to your vines in real time, continuously throughout the season.
The sap flow sensors are set up directly on the vine. They measure the transpiration of the vine, so we can monitor vineyard water use, and pilot irrigation if needed, thanks to the calculation of the Water Satisfaction Index.
![Page 4: The Sap Flow Sensors](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022011901/61d63014558e3f636226976f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What are the benefits for my vineyard?
4
Apply an amount of water adapted to the terroir and production objectives
Define the best timing for irrigation thanks to the Water Satisfaction Index
Save water!
Adjust practices to better match vineyard needs
(ie. canopy reduction to reduce vine water use, cover crop reduction to increase vine water use,..)
Improve wine and vineyard fruit quality
Help to better understand vine response to terroir (climatic demand, varietal, rootstock, site properties, practices, etc..)

Transpiration is measured every 15 minutes
The data is stored and sent automatically to our servers every 2 hours
The data is analyzed in real time and the Water Satisfaction Index is calculated
You can see the results and follow your vine water status on our platform : 360viti

Organization of one site of sap flow sensors

1 site of sap flow is composed of:- 2 sensors on 2 different vines in the
same row - 1 system of data-logger to store
the data (SAPIP)- 1 Arduino to send the data in real
time - 1 power pack : 1 battery, 1
regulator, 1 solar panel and its pillar

Heater provides a continuous heat of the sap
Thermocouples measure the temperature of the sap before and after the heat
The sensors are connected to a battery and a data logger, to store the data and to have the power to heat the sap
The sensor (length: from 5 to 10 cm) is set on last year shoot (guyot) or on the cordon. Measurements of temperature are used to calculate the flow rate of the sap.

Applications
A : Root water supply is non limiting
⇒ vine transpires all the water it needs to match climatic demand ⇒ Actual transpiration = Maximum transpiration ⇒ WSI = 100%
B : Root water supply is limited
⇒ vine transpires less water than it would if water supply were non limited.⇒ vine water use is less than climatic demand⇒ Actual transpiration < Maximum transpiration ⇒ WSI < 100%

WSI > 60 %→ No water stress
40 % < WSI < 60 %→ Moderate water stress
WSI < 40 %→ High water stress
Thresholds vary according to production objectives: yield and quality.
The Water Satisfaction thresholds :
These thresholds must be adapted to regions and production objectives
==> A severe level of water deficit is considered to be under:● 40% in arid areas (premium reds in Napa, California), or ● 60% in other context (Rose, Cognac,...)

Examples of WSI water management
Red wines :
Period 2 : actual transpiration is maximum transpiration and increases every day. WSI is computed after vine stops growing. Make sure growth does not stop too late (risk of vegetative notes in final wine)
Period 3 : WSI can go down to 50% for gain a) in fruit phenolics ; b) in vine resistance to drought
Periods 4 and 5 : no expected benefits to imposing water stress. It is advisable to stay above 60%.
White wines and rosés :
Period 2 : actual transpiration is maximum transpiration and increases every day. WSI is computed only after vine stops growing. Make sure growth does not stop too early (ie.risk of too small leaf area to ripen fruit).
Period 3 : WSI maintained above 60% to increase berry size and boost flavor precursors
Periods 4 and 5 : no expected benefits to imposing water stress. It is advisable to stay above 70%.
