What role do data loggers and weather stations play in vineyard management?
Gerald: We used the HOBOnodeTM wireless air temperature sensors to monitor frost conditions in the vineyards this past spring. The system provided alarm notifications directly to my computer. When temperatures started to drop to approximately 36°F, an audible alarm would go off on my computer and the data helped me gauge whether or not I needed to turn on the frost protection system. Since we set the sensors to sample every couple of minutes, I was able to see how fast the temperature was dropping — as it was happening — and project when critical temperatures would be reached. Paul: I use a HOBO® U30/GSM to look at the leaf wetness of my grape vines. Since grape vines are susceptible to mildew and disease, managing surface wetness is critical. I also depend highly on the rain gauges to benchmark and ensure that the anti-fungus spray we use on the vines is effective. The data tells us how many hours it takes for the anti-fungal spray to be absorbed prior to a rain event. After the pla
