The DSS for tobacco cultivation

TobaccoDSS is Agricolus’ Decision Support System for farms growing tobacco that want to manage fields using precision farming tools.

The DSS provides crop-specific forecast models with insights into crop development, water and nutritional requirements, and the risk of crop diseases and harmful insects. This makes it possible to integrate predictive data with information collected directly in the field, improving the planning of interventions throughout the season.

From € 250/year

Why choose the DSS for tobacco

Tobacco cultivation requires constant monitoring, as plant growth, water availability, nutrition, and disease and insect pressure can significantly affect leaf yield and quality.

TobaccoDSS combines weather data, predictive models, field surveys, and registered field operations, allowing you to monitor tobacco development, organize agronomic activities, and act with greater precision during the most important stages of the production cycle.

What you can do with the DSS for tobacco

Increase production yield and quality
Effective agronomic management helps preserve the crop’s production potential.

Protect tobacco from crop diseases and insects
Forecast models help assess the risk of Helicoverpa armigera and Peronospora, so monitoring and interventions can be organized only when truly necessary.

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

Reduce management costs
Targeted planning of field inspections, irrigation, fertilization, and treatments helps avoid unnecessary activities.

Crop planning

Quickly register and view your crop plan in a clear and concise way to better manage the seasons.

Phenology

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

Crop Protection

Forecasting of crop diseases and infestations to assess the risk of Helicoverpa armigera, Peronospora, Flea beetle, and Aphid 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.

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.
