Vine nutrition

Nutrition is a costly and important part of managing a vineyard, impacting on vine growth, crop yield, berry composition and ultimately, wine quality. The nutritional health of vines is usually measured through testing the plant petiole, the stalk that attaches a leaf to the plant stem, but results can take time to generate and may not be highly accurate. This project will develop a smartphone app to capture and analyse images of vine leaves, to rapidly assess nutritional status.
