Reducing Pesticides in Viticulture: Innovative Techniques in Slovenian Vineyards

The video outlines efforts in Slovenian vineyards to reduce pesticide use, controlling weeds without herbicides, and preserving biodiversity. A multidisciplinary team of experts formed an operational group that played a central role in the project. They set up demonstration trials and organized field demonstrations to test and compare various non-chemical weed control methods against conventional practices. The project also tested high-tech spraying technology equipped with LIDAR sensors, which optimizes pesticide application by adjusting spray quantities in real-time, reducing waste and environmental impact. The advisors had an important role in facilitating these trials and demo events, and engaging the winegrowers who contributed directly to developing new, environmentally friendly cultivation techniques.
