A visualization platform for TreeTalkers data: supporting sustainable vineyard practices

The ability to analyze and visualize (near) real-time data is crucial for addressing the challenges posed by climate change in agriculture. This work presents a data visualization system for TreeTalker sensors, funded by the Italian PNRR AGRITECH project, which monitors sap flow density and environmental parameters in vineyards. By providing user-friendly access to sensor data, the system enhances decision-making in soil management and grapevine physiology studies.
Featuring an intuitive web-based interface, the platform processes raw sensor outputs into interactive dashboards, allowing users to explore the effects of soil management practices, such as conventional tillage versus no-tillage with mulching, on grapevine resilience under heat stress. Key functionalities include dynamic environmental filtering, comparative plot analyses, and the ability to assess branch-specific physiological responses. Additionally, the system supports temporal tracking of sap flow variations across the growing season.
By converting complex datasets into actionable insights, the system enables researchers and/or vineyard managers to adopt data-driven approaches for sustainable viticulture. This tool demonstrates the potential of low-cost, scalable technologies and advanced visualization techniques to promote sustainable practices in agriculture, with broader applicability beyond viticulture.
