How do I prioritize vineyard tasks across blocks?

Prioritize based on time sensitivity: spray windows and PHI/REI compliance come first, followed by scouting during active disease pressure, then canopy management, and finally general maintenance. Consider block-specific factors like variety susceptibility, growth stage, and proximity to harvest.

How many acres can a crew cover per day?

Coverage varies widely by task. For spraying, a crew with an airblast sprayer typically covers 30-60 acres per day. Scouting averages 20-40 acres per day depending on intensity. Canopy management (shoot thinning, leaf pulling) averages 2-5 acres per day per worker. These are general estimates for planning purposes.

What tasks should be included in a vineyard block plan?

Common tasks include: spray applications, pest and disease scouting, canopy management (shoot thinning, leaf pulling, hedging), irrigation scheduling, cover crop management, harvest preparation, equipment maintenance, and compliance documentation. Seasonal tasks vary by growth stage.

Vineyard Block Task Planner

The Block Task Planner helps vineyard managers organize daily field operations across multiple blocks. Add your vineyard blocks, assign tasks like spraying, scouting, canopy management, or harvesting, set priorities, and generate a structured daily or weekly work plan. The tool calculates estimated completion times and helps you allocate crew resources efficiently.
