Case Study: Michael David Winery halts esca infestation with Ceres Imaging

Michael David Winery halts esca infestation within 24 hours with Ceres Imaging

Michael David Winery, a sixth-generation family-owned vineyard committed to sustainable practices, faced the challenge of early pest and disease detection while minimizing pesticide use. With limited time to scout every block daily, viticulturist Michael Klouda needed a way to identify issues before they spread. Ceres Imaging provided high-resolution aerial imagery to address this challenge.

Using Ceres Imaging's service, Klouda received data within 24 hours, which pinpointed subtle anomalies invisible to the naked eye. This early warning system allowed him to identify and contain an esca fungus infestation before it spread. The solution from Ceres Imaging helped Michael David Winery reduce costs by halting the outbreak and protecting its sustainable certification.
