The DSS for citrus cultivation

CitrusDSS is Agricolus’ Decision Support System designed for farms that want to manage citrus orchards efficiently and sustainably.

The DSS helps monitor citrus crop health throughout the season, set effective crop protection strategies against insects and crop diseases, intervene early in case of frost, and register specific parameters to monitor production quality and quantity.

From € 335/year

Why choose the DSS for citrus

Citrus orchard management requires constant attention and timely interventions, especially when threats that may compromise the harvest come into play.

Thanks to precision farming tools, CitrusDSS allows you to keep the crop constantly under control and guide agronomic decisions based on objective data.

What you can do with the DSS for citrus

Increase production quality and yield
Efficient citrus orchard management helps preserve the final quality of the fruit.

Protect the citrus orchard from insects and crop diseases
Forecast models help assess the risk of issues such as Anthracnose and fruit fly, so monitoring and interventions can be planned at the most appropriate time.

Optimize input use
Water, treatments, and fertilizers can be used carefully and consistently with the field’s needs.

Reduce management costs
By intervening only where and when needed, you can better organize field inspections, operations, and resource use, resulting in cost savings.

Features

Fields

Draw the field on the map or import shp and kmz files, then add all the relevant crop information.

Tasks

Register crop operations and organize activities in the field.

Phenology

Phenology forecasting to assess the citrus grove’s needs at every growth stage.

Crop Protection

Forecasting of crop diseases and infestations to assess the risk of Anthracnose and Fruit fly outbreaks and intervene promptly.

Irrigation

Estimation of irrigation requirements to intervene when needed with the optimal water supply.

Nutrition

Calculation of the total nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium requirements (kg/ha) throughout the crop production cycle to provide recommendations on nutrient doses to apply.

Frost

Frost forecasting to anticipate harmful weather events (up to 7 days in advance) and identify the type of risk.

Yield and quality monitoring

Sugar content, titratable total acidity, sugar/acid ratio, color, peel integrity, presence of damage, abnormal external moisture, and foreign odor and/or taste; size grade, diameter, weight, and juice yield.

Weather forecasts

Check professional weather forecasts up to seven days, updated every hour: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and precipitation.

Crop scouting

Geolocate and register crop scouting with the Agricolus App: phenology, pests and diseases, anomalies, soil analysis, traps and catches, yield and quality monitoring.

Quick Note

Write notes and add photos and voice notes: you can associate them with one or more fields or a specific location.

Machinery

Register the agricultural machinery available on the farm, any anomalies, and maintenance performed.
You can also connect them to Agricolus by using Agrirouter.

Sustainability

Monitor the economic and environmental sustainability indicators of the farm. You can set target levels for each and track the progress.

Production lots

Create and assign a production lot to each harvest to improve the traceability of the operations carried out. A QR code is generated, allowing access to a dedicated web page where all product information can be viewed.
