Phytosanitary crop protection is witnessing a significant evolution. The now unpredictable climate trend is responsible for early or late appearance of plant diseases and infestations: calendar defense, which involved keeping crops constantly protected, without taking into account the real trend of adversities, gives way to integrated defense.
Integrated defense is based on the introduction of sustainable agricultural practices, biological control techniques, constant monitoring and the adoption of advanced technologies: forecasting models are part of this last category and provide the farmer with precise suggestions on which to base decisions regarding crop defense.
Agricolus’s DSS, with forecast models of defense, phenology, irrigation and fertilization, supports the farmer in applying effective strategies to increase both the yield and the quality of the crop.
