For the 6th consecutive year, itk was present at the UWGS (Unified Wine & Grape Symposium). This last one took place on January 27th – 28th, 2016. The latest Vintel developments were presented, as, for example, the integration of the “Midday Leaf Water Potential” stress indicator.
The “Midday Leaf Water Potential” is one of the most used water stress indicator by the Americains winemakers. He is even more used than the Predawn Leaf Water Potential that Vintel already simulated.
