Researchers resort to light spectrum to assess the ripeness of grapes in the Douro region

Researchers from the Institute for Systems and Computer Engineering, Technology and Science (INESC TEC) developed a mobile platform for metabolic monitoring in precision viticulture. The solution integrates advanced sensors using light to measure the organic changes that occur in the plant, in order to ensure the harvest's high quality. This is the first technology of its kind in the world, and is being tested in the Douro region, at Quinta do Seixo and Quinta dos Aciprestes.
