Optimizing the use of plant protection products (PPP) is key in high-value crops like vineyards. This study evaluated a smart prototype equipped with adjustable pulse width modulation (PWM)- valves and GNSS tracking, integrated into a commercial sprayer, enabling variable-rate applications based on normalised difference vegetation indices (NDVI)-derived vigor maps from drone imagery (2023) and satellite data (2024). Trials in Penedes region (Barcelona) compared this approach to conventional spraying, assessing biological efficacy and PPP savings. Results showed up to 40% PPP reduction without compromising pest control. The results highlight the potential of satellite-based precision agriculture for efficiency and sustainability.
