The aim of this master thesis is to investigate the possibilities of digitalisation in viticulture with the help of drones and aerial photogrammetry for surface water management and the optimisation of nutrient use. We also want to present the applied use of geoinformation as a decision support. In this way, we have closed the gap in remote sensing, which for decades was based on satellite data and excluded the accurate study of the surface and leaf mass of vines at the micro level. We have found that advanced technologies and newer methodological approaches contribute to better management of surface water and regulation of drainage systems to prevent soil erosion and reduce the risk of landslides. We have also found that studying the leaf mass of grapevines at a resolution of a few centimetres allows a more accurate detection of changes during the vegetative cycle and helps to establish a more precise plan for variable fertilisation. In this way, the master's thesis sets new guidelines for the rationalisation of work processes, costs and natural resources in viticulture.
