• Reduce environmental impact

Features

• FIELD MAPPING
  Geolocate the field on the map and draw it. Features will be immediately hooked. You can enable the cadastral map and enter sheet and parcel information.
• SATELLITE IMAGERY
  Consult Sentinel-2 satellite images with vigor, water stress and chlorophyll indices to promptly identify critical areas in the vineyard.
• CROP OPERATIONS
  Register where, how and when crop operations (treatments, fertilization, pruning, harvest) have been carried out. You can also access phytosanitary products database.
• PRODUCTION LOTS
• Create and assign to each crop its own production lot to improve traceability of operations. A QR code is also generated that allows you to access and share the dedicated web page where you can consult all the information on the product.
• SUSTAINABILITY
  Monitor the economic (yield, production) and environmental (water consumption, input control and farm biodiversity) sustainability indicators of your farm. You can set the level to be reached for each indicator and monitor how the work is going.
• WEATHER FORECASTS
  Consult professional weather forecasts up to 7 days updated every hour: temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall.
• PHENOLOGY FORECAST MODEL
  Prediction of phenology to assess olive grove needs in each development stage.
• IRRIGATION FORECAST MODEL
  Evaluation of water requirements to carry out irrigation when necessary with the right amount of water.
• FROST FORECAST MODEL
  Frost forecast to know in advance (up to 5 days before) the harmful climatic event and the type of risk.
• FERTILIZATION FORECAST MODEL
  Calculation of the total nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needs (Kg/ha) required by the crop in order to obtain important suggestions on the doses of fertilizer to be applied.
• PEST AND DISEASES FORECAST MODEL
  Prediction of infestation and diseases to assess the risk of pest (Lobesia botrana) and diseases (Peronospora, Powdery mildew, Botrytis cinerea) and act promptly.
• DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM
  It provides information on the interventions to be carried out on the basis of the data collected.
• CROP SCOUTING
  Geolocate and register data from crop scouting by using the mobile App for phytosanitary monitoring and evaluation of quality and quantity.
• WEATHER STATIONS
  Virtual weather station included; physical weather stations and sensors can be purchased or integrated, if already present in the company.
• TASK MANAGEMENT
  Create and assign tasks to be done in the farms to your collaborator in real time.
• YIELD AND QUALITY MONITORING
  Bunches count, thinning estimate, potential alcohol calculation and ripening index.
• PRESCRIPTION MAPS
  Choose the most suitable vegetation index to draw up the prescription map and carry out a variable rate fertilization.
• MACHINERY
  Register your agricultural machinery, any problems and maintenance carried out. You can also connect them to Agricolus by using Agrirouter.
