Support plant protection decisions with DSS (Decision Support Systems) and crop-specific predictive models, developed to help you implement effective strategies.

Crop protection is undergoing a major evolution. Increasingly unpredictable weather patterns can cause diseases and pest infestations to appear earlier or later than expected: calendar-based protection, which involved keeping crops constantly protected without considering the actual development of threats, is giving way to integrated crop protection.

Integrated crop protection is based on the introduction of:

• sustainable agricultural practices
• biological control techniques
• constant monitoring
• the adoption of precision farming tools

Predictive models fall into this last category and provide farmers with precise recommendations on which to base crop protection decisions.

Intervene at the right time
Predictive models for crop disease and harmful insect protection allow you to identify risk in advance.

Reduce unnecessary treatments
Targeted protection helps avoid ineffective interventions or treatments that are not aligned with the actual development of the threat.

Protect yield and quality
Precision agronomic management helps preserve the crop’s production potential.

Agricolus DSSs for major crops integrate different data sources — weather, predictive crop protection models, phenology, irrigation and nutrition, registered field operations, and field surveys — to provide you with accurate insights into field conditions.

They do not replace the farmer’s experience but, as the name itself suggests, they support field decisions to improve both yield and crop quality.
