Article Synopsis
  • Modern viticulture is challenged by climate change and diseases, requiring sustainable practices to minimize fungicide use and address soil health issues, particularly from copper toxicity.
  • Advances in plant phenomics and remote sensing technologies are crucial for effectively assessing plant traits, helping to identify resilient vine varieties amid environmental stress, although current methods still have limitations.
  • The integration of smart phenotyping with artificial intelligence can enhance decision-making in viticulture, but the complexity of interpreting symptoms and multiple data sources underscores the importance of human expertise in the final decision-making process.

Soilless cultivation represent a valid opportunity for the agricultural production sector, especially in areas characterized by severe soil degradation and limited water availability. Furthermore, this agronomic practice embodies a favorable response toward an environment-friendly agriculture and a promising tool in the vision of a general challenge in terms of food security. This review aims therefore at unraveling limitations and opportunities of hydroponic solutions used in soilless cropping systems focusing on the plant mineral nutrition process.
