Montenegrin vineyards now have a digital decision support platform (DSP) for climate resilience. This tool integrates various data sources to provide timely, site-specific vineyard management recommendations, aiding sustainable viticulture.
Area of Science:
- Agricultural Science
- Climate Science
- Digital Agriculture
Background:
- Viticulture faces significant risks from climate change, including extreme weather, water scarcity, and new pests/diseases.
- Traditional vineyard management is increasingly challenged by unpredictable environmental conditions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and implement the MONTEVITIS digital decision support platform (DSP) for Montenegrin viticulture.
- To provide real-time monitoring and climate projections for adaptive vineyard management.
Main Methods:
- Integration of IoT sensor data, national meteorological records, and global climate datasets.
- Pilot deployment in four diverse Montenegrin vineyards.
- Development of a user-friendly dashboard with phenology, irrigation, and disease alerts.
Main Results:
- The DSP successfully integrated heterogeneous data streams for reliable, site-specific recommendations.
- Pilot testing confirmed the platform's utility in supporting timely vineyard management decisions.
- Identified challenges include connectivity, data gaps, and varying digital literacy among users.
Conclusions:
- Digital agriculture tools like MONTEVITIS can bridge tradition and innovation in viticulture.
- Stakeholder engagement and institutional support are crucial for sustained adoption.
- The platform facilitates adaptive strategies for climate resilience and sustainable vineyard management.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground cistern.
Decision Making: Traditional Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is decided based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to this claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses, out of which a null hypothesis would be a...
