ES Who is Nicola D’Onghia?
Nicola D’Onghia runs a family business in the province of Bari, which has been operating organically for three generations. Grow table grapes, cherries, almonds and arable crops, with a strong focus on sustainable fruit growing.
The discovery at Agrilevante di Bari
He met Safe vineyard at the Agrilevante fair in Bari: From that contact a concrete collaboration was born. For organic viticulture he was looking for forecast models complementary to those of his control unit, to have different approaches and compare them.
A surprise: precision without control unit
The surprise was the accuracy of the system, even without hardware installations in the field. Vigneto Sicuro has shown excellent performance in the weather forecast and, above all, in the forecast of diseases, which is a reliable tool.
Well-designed app, timely alerts
Appreciate the quality of the app: Disease alerts are clear and timely, and the forecasting model really works. The ability to look 3-5 days ahead is crucial for planning interventions.
Proactive prevention for organic
For the organic it is vital to work in prevention rather than in treatment. The medium-term focus allows for a proactive approach, reducing late reactions and increasing the effectiveness of defence interventions.
Full Testimony
I am Nicola D’Onghia, I have a company in the province of Bari. We deal with fruit growing: table grapes, cherries, almonds and some arable land. We are an organic company, we have been working for three generations.
I met you at the fair at Agrilevante in Bari and from there a good collaboration was born. Doing viticulture in organic, I was looking for predictive models to accompany those of my control unit to have different approaches and be able to compare the results.
In short, it was a surprise: Vigneto Sicuro, considering that it is a tool that works without a control unit in the field, has proven to be very accurate both in weather forecasts and especially in disease forecasting. It is also a very well-designed app, both for the alerts we receive in case of diseases, and for the forecasting model that really works.
The Vigneto Sicuro app is able to look forward to 3, 4, 5 days ahead, which is very useful, especially for those who do organic farming like me and need to work in prevention rather than in treatment: proactively and not just reactively to what is actually happening on the ground.
