The development of the robot is critical as managing such diseases as powdery and downy mildews in vineyards is the top concern for grape growers and viticulturists.

An experimental vineyard at the Cornell Lake Erie Research and Extension Laboratory is becoming the university’s first living laboratory of precision, autonomy and sustainability, supporting the grape industry in New York and Pennsylvania.

Researchers project that burying the wood debris from managed forests could reduce global warming up to 0.76 degrees Fahrenheit by 2100.

Cornell AgriTech researchers showcased digital agriculture projects during a “Space for Ag Tour” by NASA leaders to better understand the remote sensing needs of specialty crop growers.

For more than 50 years, NASA and partner agencies have used satellite imagery to map agriculture worldwide with an eye toward global supply and food security. That technology, however, has largely focused on commodity and row crops. Until now...

With creative, collaborative thinking, says Yu Jiang, assistant professor of systems engineering and data analytics in SIPS.

As the world population grows and climate change threatens agriculture and global food systems, researchers across CALS are reimagining agri-food systems for the 21st century.

The robots will roll through vineyards and gather data to allow breeders and growers to evaluate their crop leaf by leaf, in real time, down to the chemical level.

Academic focus: Multimodal sensing, agricultural robotics and artificial intelligence in agriculture Research summary: I study systems engineering and digital solutions to enhancing the productivity, quality, sustainability and resilience of...

A radical collaboration between a biologist and an engineer is supercharging efforts to protect grape crops, and the technology they’ve developed will soon be available to researchers nationwide.

Researchers at Cornell AgriTech have deployed robots in local vineyards, where they are using UV light to kill pathogens like downy mildew and powdery mildew — without harming the growing plants.

The research is possible thanks to a grant from the Pennsylvania Wine Marketing and Research Program. The award begins this year with $60,000 for year 1; the grant will be renewed each year, dependent on progress, for up to three years and $160...
