PAgFRUIT is a Research Project funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, under the Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020 R+D+I Program Oriented to the Challenges of Society (Spanish Research Agency) (Project Code RTI2018-094222-B-I00).

The project is addressed to Precision and Sustainable Fruit Production and has been methodologically designed in two main objectives: (1) Canopy phenotyping and spatial variability evaluation in fruit and vine orchards, and (2) Practical application of canopy parameters and spatial information in pruning management, precise pesticide application, and efficient scouting and sampling for fruit orchards monitoring and yield estimation.PAgFRUIT aims to continue previous work on Precision and Sustainable Fruit Production of the Research Group on AgroICT and Precision Agriculture (GRAP, University of Lleida), to which the major part of the research team and of the working plan team belong.
