OENOMED met en oeuvre des Chartes Locales pour une vitiviniculture durable dans les Aires Protégées de la Méditerranée
Le projet OENOMED s'engage à promouvoir une viticulture innovante et durable dans les aires protégées de la Méditerranée. Pour ce faire, des Chartes Locales ont été élaborées, définissant des critères et encourageant l'adoption de pratiques culturales durables spécifiques à chaque territoire impliqué dans le projet. L'objectif principal de ces chartes est de gérer de manière durable les ressources naturelles essentielles à la viticulture, notamment la préservation de l'eau, de la qualité du sol et de la biodiversité. De plus, elles visent à promouvoir la production d'éco-services par les vignobles, tels que l'économie circulaire et des dispositifs pour une gestion responsable de l'irrigation. Ces Chartes Locales définissent des normes minimales permettant aux vignobles de prétendre à l'appellation "Vins des Aires Protégées de la Méditerranée". Cette sous-appellation reconnaît les efforts des producteurs pour contribuer à la préservation des aires protégées et à la durabilité de la vitiviniculture.
FFN-ii: Field Data Collection and Digitalization of All Sites
The objective of this activity was to collect, study and deliver the field data required for the establishment and operation of the two Location Aware (LA) prototypes, namely the OliveFlyNet for Olive fruit fly and the MedFlyNet for Mediterranean fruit fly, in the 8 wide-area sites (Olive: AUA, UCO, LARI, IO, Peaches: UNIMOL, CRRHAB, Citrus: AUA). This is the last updated deliverable. In the sites, a revision of the field elements has been performed with ground truth to verify the digitized field data. The maps have been updated and produced accordingly. The use of mobile GIS for the collection of field data is also described.

FFN-ii: Location Aware System Deployment in the two Experimental Sites
The objective of this output is to provide information about the various tasks that took place during the 2nd cultivation period (Semesters V-VI) in the two experimental sites of the project aiming to verify the good performance of the e-traps, as well as to test the new functionalities and ensure the good operation of the e-services in the large-area sites. To accomplish the full deployment of the Location Aware (LA) products, the olive and Med e-traps were tested in both sites to satisfy all the evaluation criteria set for the full operation. Noteworthy, the OliveFlyNet was tested in Greece by the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) and the MedFlyNet in Italy by the University of Molise (UNIMOL). The results for both types of the e-traps tested in the two experimental fields showed very good performance in terms of battery charge level and signal reception.
The e-services of adults’ population distribution map, infestation risk map and spray density map creation were tested by AUA in its experimental site to validate its functionalities in the new environment. A new e-service was developed and tested regarding the automatic digitalization of trees, that is an e-service which facilitates the implementation of the system. An additional e-service which gives the ability to the system to identify the optimum position for placing each trap in each area with olive groves was developed and tested too, so that to rationalize the approaches used. The two new e-services were implemented successfully whereas the updated software was able to produce all the different kind of maps required for the full implementation of the LA e-services.
Finally, a detection and count machine learning test for the case med fruit fly pest was also studied by UNIMOL. Tests related to the automatic recognition of medfly catches in the e-trap were also conducted and showed a very food response.
