July 2nd-6th, Montpellier, 2017 EFITA WCCA CONGRESS: EUROPEAN FEDERATION FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE, FOOD AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
On July 5th, in the afternoon, Diego Guidotti e Antonio Natale presented their work:
“Agricolus smartIPM: a modular approach in Olive Decision Support System”.
It is a modeling framework with use case for olive.
Here the biography of the authors:
- Diego Guidotti: PhD, Data analysis, Disease model expert, R&D – Agronomist; 15 years experience in project analysis and information systems development.
- Antonio Natale: PhD(c), Geo B-I analytics and agro business, COO – GIS Expert; 10 years experience in GIS, geo-data collection and analysis.
This is the abstract of their work:
An innovative DSS for olive orchard management has been developed bringing together the results of research activity of Aedit srl in collaboration with the Institute of Life Science of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in olive fruit fly management and fruit quality. The olive DSS aims to assist growers and technicians in the management of the several agronomic aspects of the production, making them aware of proper decision paths. The DSS is composed by modular and distributed applications with the following components: a weather data provider, a set of web services to access the crop and pest models, an interactive dashboard customizable by the users to interact with the models, and a Farm Management System to allow the integration of data and monitoring activities on-farm in the DSS. The modelling section holds the following models: olive tree phenology based on cumulative degree day, irrigation and fertilization requirements, olive fruit fly generation and phenology, olive fruit fly mortality because of summer high temperatures, olive fruit fly fertility due to environmental conditions, olive fruit fly adult emergence of overwintering generation, risk of infestation by the first summer generation of olive fruit fly estimated with temperatures of winter and spring.
