The DSS for peach crop protection

PeachDSS is Agricolus’ Decision Support System for farms that want to manage peach orchards efficiently and sustainably.

The DSS allows you to constantly monitor orchard health and apply effective protection strategies against harmful insects to increase both production yield and quality.

Thanks to the integration of different data sources — weather, forecast models, field surveys, and manual inputs — PeachDSS helps you reduce unnecessary interventions and improve work organization.

Why choose the DSS for peach trees

Peach orchard cultivation requires continuous attention throughout the season: from vegetative growth resumption to flowering, from fruit set to fruit enlargement, through to harvest. At each stage, water stress, nutritional imbalances, and harmful insects can affect yield, fruit size, market quality, and product health.

PeachDSS helps you turn weather data, field observations, and crop information into practical insights for the daily management of the orchard. You can plan crop protection more precisely thanks to the monitoring of conditions favorable to pest development.

What you can do with the DSS for peach cultivation

Increase production yield and quality
Careful agronomic management helps preserve the production potential of the peach orchard and produce high-quality fruit.

Protect peach from harmful insects
Forecast models help assess the risk of Fruit fly presence, so interventions can be organized based on the actual level of risk.

Optimize input use
Water, fertilizers, and treatments can be managed according to crop needs and the conditions observed in the peach orchard.

Reduce management costs
Precisely planning field inspections, irrigation, fertilization, and treatments helps limit unnecessary activities and make better use of time, technical inputs, and work.

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 orchard’s needs at every growth stage.

Crop Protection

Prediction of the development of harmful pests (Fruit Fly – Ceratitis capitata) to act only when really needed.

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.

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.

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.
