Abstract

The particularly high incidence of yellow spider mite and leafhoppers in southern European viticulture means that between 1 and 4 interventions are required each year for their effective control. In vineyards with spatial variability in vigour, decision support systems such as DOSA3D (www.dosa3d.cat/en) have proven useful to adjust dose rates according to vigour classes delimited in on-board monitor prescription maps. However, there remain some doubts as to whether this variable dosage allows pests to be controlled when reducing conventional doses in vines with low vegetative development. To check the efficacy of using variable dose rates according to two vigour classes (low and high), field trials were carried out against the aforementioned pests in vineyards located in Raimat (Catalonia, Spain). After classifying vigour through multispectral images, doses were reduced by 16.6%-24.8% in low vigour areas without losing control efficacy. Biological efficacy was always higher in low vigour areas, reducing the initial pest population below the corresponding economic damage threshold. In areas of high vigour, subsequent applications will probably be necessary to avoid exceeding the economic threshold, as there is normally a higher pest population density in vines with more vegetative development.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-07:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 69.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 69 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 11.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 13 (Altmetric).
