Abstract The potential of remote sensing and satellite image processing may have an important impact in improving the management of vineyards. The crop presents a number of specific characteristics such as the long-lasting continuity of the crop in the ground and a variable productivity and plant response according to the soil conditions, suggestive of the potential for using aspects linked to inter-plot variability. The use of the specific package OEnoview®, which processes the signal of sensors on board satellites devoted to Earth observation, provides important knowledge in terms of differential yield, fertilization and pesticide applications. This pathway of work contributes significantly to better profitability and improvement of the final product. Nowadays, in viticulture, the challenge of quality, economic, and environmental issues is relevant, and the method proposed allows a wide range of applications. In this paper, several examples are shown from plantations in different countries.Keywords: vegetation index, vigour, soil, inter-plot variability, intra-plot variability, sustainability.
