farmers early detection is nearly

14
00:01:36,990 --> 00:01:34,659
impossible because by the time the

00:01:39,749 --> 00:01:37,000
visual symptoms appear the vines are

16
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:39,759

remote sensing allows the detection of

stress before we can ever see it with

27
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:10,569
the naked eye and that gives us a

28
00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:12,610
glimpse into the future so that we can

00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:15,040
do a better job of planning for

30
00:02:46,260 --> 00:02:42,730
this is the Napa Valley home to

31
00:02:49,630 --> 00:02:46,270
America's most prestigious wine

32
00:02:52,180 --> 00:02:49,640

42
00:03:20,290 --> 00:03:17,900
bacteria can get into that and cause an

43
00:03:22,810 --> 00:03:20,300
infection which will eventually kill

farmers see current damage but it

50
00:03:40,570 --> 00:03:37,610
doesn't provide enough information for

00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:40,580
future planning growers need better

52
00:03:44,970 --> 00:03:43,610
tools so there's where comes NASA

53
00:03:49,090 --> 00:03:44,980
because the very sophisticated

54
00:03:51,190 --> 00:03:49,100
technology remote sensing allows the

55
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:51,200
detection of stress before we can ever

56
00:03:56,170 --> 00:03:53,990
see it with the naked eye and that gives

57
00:03:58,780 --> 00:03:56,180
us a glimpse into the future so that we

58
00:04:00,960 --> 00:03:58,790
can do a better job of planning for

59
00:04:04,090 --> 00:04:00,970

mondavi has always thought to the future

63
00:04:15,250 --> 00:04:13,250
in this case we looked up into the sky

64
00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:15,260
we look for the technology we look

65
00:04:21,220 --> 00:04:18,100
beyond the horizon they look to space

NASA scientists at nearby Ames Research

67
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:23,210
Center have been developing remote

68
00:04:28,060 --> 00:04:25,490
sensing technology to study the Earth's

surface using aircraft and satellites

70
00:04:34,030 --> 00:04:30,860
for the last ten years nASA has been

71
00:04:36,370 --> 00:04:34,040
trying to get remote sensing into more

72
00:04:40,690 --> 00:04:36,380
commercial uses to develop more industry

from Ames mondavi winery in California

76
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:51,660
Davis and Chicago universities we called

77
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:54,330
up about four wineries last fall and met

78
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:55,890
with about four different groups and

79
00:05:00,110 --> 00:04:57,930
explain to them what we wanted to try to

80
00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:00,120
do and mondavi was the one who said

81
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:02,520
we're your guys we want to do that same

82
00:05:08,510 --> 00:05:04,590
thing this is where all the flock sir is

83
00:05:11,570 --> 00:05:08,520
1 1 2 & 3 have visual signs and it's in

84
00:05:13,490 --> 00:05:11,580
the ground four five and six have no

85
00:05:15,290 --> 00:05:13,500
visual signs on elites but it is in the

86
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:15,300
ground and seven eight and nine are

87
00:05:20,270 --> 00:05:16,530
totally healthy and there's nothing in

88
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:20,280
the ground an 11-acre test site is

89
00:05:26,050 --> 00:05:22,410
blocked in two sections with healthy

90
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:26,060
moderate and severely infested vines

91
00:05:30,590 --> 00:05:28,710
handheld instruments are used to measure

92
00:05:37,029 --> 00:05:30,600
chlorophyll leverage which are a

93
00:05:41,330 --> 00:05:39,529
right now if you look at a leaf for many

94
00:05:43,339 --> 00:05:41,340
of those three categories they look the

95
00:05:46,219 --> 00:05:43,349
same to our eyes but we're going to take

96
00:05:48,499 --> 00:05:46,229
them back into the lab at Ames and do

97
00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,509
spectral analysis and also chemical

98
00:06:03,970 --> 00:05:50,639
analysis to see how those leaves

99
00:06:10,500 --> 00:06:07,060
field and laboratory data provides a

100
00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:10,510
baseline for each level of infestation

101
00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:12,800
scientists estimate chlorophyll levels

102
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:16,400
and use an airborne scanner together

103
00:06:22,719 --> 00:06:20,330
thousands of plants like infrared photos

104
00:06:25,779 --> 00:06:22,729
the resulting images indicate where the

105
00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:25,789
vines are distrustful of damages are

106
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:28,310
also burner roars of with the bugs that

107
00:06:32,770 --> 00:06:30,530
crispy did acquire a time at the polacks

108
00:06:35,740 --> 00:06:32,780
for pattern seems to be going kind of in

109
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:35,750
a north-south direction the resolution

110
00:06:41,170 --> 00:06:38,570
is so much better about the contrast the

111
00:06:44,379 --> 00:06:41,180
ability to see the areas that are

112
00:06:47,379 --> 00:06:44,389
already affected by flora it just jump

113
00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:47,389
out at you even more so monitoring

114
00:06:53,020 --> 00:06:49,910
infestation is one thing but doing

115
00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:53,030
something about it is another we don't

116
00:06:57,370 --> 00:06:55,520
have any chemical agents that will cure

117
00:07:00,760 --> 00:06:57,380
our problem and prevent philosopher in

118
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:00,770
Napa Valley fortunately nurseries are

119
00:07:05,740 --> 00:07:03,110
growing roots which are resistant to the

120
00:07:08,529 --> 00:07:05,750
lots are many of the popular great

121
00:07:10,540 --> 00:07:08,539
plants like Chardonnay Pinot Noir would

122
00:07:12,730 --> 00:07:10,550
easily fall prey to the underground

123
00:07:15,310 --> 00:07:12,740
pests if they were growing on their own

124
00:07:18,189 --> 00:07:15,320
rules good nurs get around this problem

125
00:07:20,529 --> 00:07:18,199
by having nurseries graft or splice

126
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:20,539
resistant stocks to the fruit bearing

127
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:23,330
portion of the plan what we've chosen to

128
00:07:27,820 --> 00:07:25,490
do here at Robert Mondavi vineyards is

129
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:27,830
to remove those vines that are affected

130
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:30,530
with filagra go back in and we plant

131
00:07:34,899 --> 00:07:33,260
these new root stocks that are tolerant

132
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:34,909
to any philosophy that might be in the

133
00:07:42,190 --> 00:07:38,930
soil the cost of replanting at mondavi

134
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:42,200
vineyards alone could run to 20 million

135
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:45,330
that's why it's so critical but vintners

136
00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:47,850
know where and when philosopher will

137
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:51,360
strike before replanting rather than

138
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:52,680
having a feeling that it's really

139
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:54,210
spreading will be able to say look it's

140
00:07:57,310 --> 00:07:55,530
spread thirty percent over this past

141
00:07:59,540 --> 00:07:57,320
year in this direction the NASA

142
00:08:01,790 --> 00:07:59,550
partnership with MonaVie and

143
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:01,800
universities at Davis and Chico was

144
00:08:07,850 --> 00:08:05,010
working very well right they couldn't

145
00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:07,860
use the digital images sooner the

146
00:08:12,620 --> 00:08:10,440
mondavi team members were looking at the

147
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:12,630
imagery so we made a decision to rip out

148
00:08:16,159 --> 00:08:14,760
half this field from looking at this

149
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:16,169
imagery we should ripped out

150
00:08:22,219 --> 00:08:18,570
three-quarters of it because part of

151
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:22,229
what we left is useless and if they had

152
00:08:25,550 --> 00:08:23,970
gone ahead and ripped out more of the

153
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:25,560
field and replanted sooner they'd have a

154
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:28,750
crop a lot sooner this new technique

155
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:30,289
we'll have a long

156
00:08:36,130 --> 00:08:33,010
impact farm

157
00:08:38,709 --> 00:08:36,140
the results of this three-year NASA

158
00:08:40,959 --> 00:08:38,719
project will be shared with wine growers

159
00:08:43,060 --> 00:08:40,969
throughout the state will get this

160
00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:43,070
information developed and then take it

161
00:08:47,290 --> 00:08:45,230
out and let everyone else use it because

162
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:47,300
no one survives in this industry alone

163
00:08:53,290 --> 00:08:51,170
we all survive together umbria field

165
00:08:59,050 --> 00:08:56,000
