Preventive Plant Protection Does Not Require Physical Weather Stations
"Physical weather stations do not generate forecasts; they are simply measurement instruments. The belief that a weather station provides better predictions is a misconception – as ground-level measurements have only a minimal impact on the accuracy of modern weather models. Therefore, physical weather stations are not the right solution for preventive crop protection in viticulture."

Matthias LukasVineyard operations manager, Hensel Winery, Bad Dürkheim, Pfalz 
VineForecast helps me to stretch my spraying intervals at the right moment or to narrow them if necessary. You don't want to work without this software anymore. It also comes with the best task management currently available.
Wolfgang BenderOwner, Habitat Weine eG, Rümmelsheim, Pfalz 
We use VineForecast to coordinate our vineyard operations. As we have many changing trainees, the app helps them quickly find their way around our vineyard operations. We also use the weather and disease forecasts to better estimate when and at what intervals we need to protect our plants.
Christian PitthanOwner, Pitthan Winery, Zotzenheim, Rheinhessen 
Thanks to VineForecast, the work in the vineyards can be planned more efficiently and clearly and the documentation is done in a few seconds. Especially when working at night (e.g. plant protection), the live mode helps us to keep track of which rows have already been driven, so that no rows are driven twice or not at all! In addition, digital damage recording means that no more damage is overlooked.
Philipp WolfVineyard operations manager, Gut Hermannsberg, Niederhausen, Nahe 
We are very satisfied with VineForecast because it helps us to manage and protect our vineyards in the best possible way. The team always helps us quickly when we have questions! #keepgoing
Max GünsterVineyard operations manager, Lorenz & Sons Winery, Bad Kreuznach, Nahe 
I use the app regularly during the season to make crop protection decisions based on sound data. In addition, I can help build up a data collection that can be used to further develop forecasting algorithms.
Dr. Henning HarthOwner, Harth+Harth Winery, Saulheim, Rheinhessen 
We use the app to clearly document the work in the vineyard. The forecasts for plant protection make it easier for us to omit the right thing at the wrong time.
Mika AltschuhVineyard operations manager, Willi Altschuh Winery, Wollmesheim, Pfalz 
VineForecast convinced me with the individual disease forecasts. I received the forecasts easily and quickly via the web app for my own vineyards. I am very satisfied with the quality of the predictions and the preparation of the data.
Lutz HommesOwner, Hommes Winery, Ernst, Mosel 
We have been using VineForecast's weather and disease forecasts since 2020, and in recent years I have been very pleased and have been able to save an average of 1-2 sprays per season.
