ES Who is Giacomo Anselmi?
Giacomo runs a winery in Bali, dealing with both the vines and the winery. He discovered Safe vineyard through Instagram and uses it in an agronomic context very different from the European one.
Climate context and issues
- Tropical climate: absence of winter and constant vigor; Plants do not go into dormancy.
- Two annual productions: the overall yield varies between 80 and 150 q/year.
- Persistent phytopathies and phytophages: peronospora, oidium, botrite, black rot; insects such as cochineals, cicadas, thrips, etc.
- Continuous humidity: promotes the development and persistence of fungal diseases, reducing the effectiveness time of treatments.
Why Vigneto Sicuro helps here
- Targeted alerts for the occurrence of fungal diseases, which are key in a climate with constant risk.
- It makes it possible to adapt the intervention time to the local situation, where the declared coverage of a plant protection product can be quickly reduced by rain or high humidity.
- It supports more precise decisions on when to treat, taking into account local vigour, variety and climatic conditions.
Conclusion
For realities with more annual harvests and humid climates such as Bali, tools that promptly report the phytosanitary risk are very valuable. Vigneto Sicuro helps to calibrate interventions and not to rely on standard timings that, in a tropical context, often do not correspond to the reality on the field.
Full Testimony
My name is Giacomo Anselmi and I follow a winery in Bali, Indonesia. I take care of both the vineyard and the cellar, so I follow everything from the grapes to the bottle. I met Vigneto Sicuro, if I remember correctly, through Instagram.
There is no winter here: the plants never go to sleep, so the apical dominance is very accentuated. The main problems are fungal diseases – downy mildew, oidium, botrytis, black rot – and insects (cochineals, cicadas, thrips, etc.). Local conditions, with ever-present humidity, keep these pests and pathogens practically always active.
We have two productions per year: If one goes wrong, hopefully the second. Typically we collect between 80 and 150 quintals in total in the two harvests.
Vigneto Sicuro helps us a lot because it alerts us to the onset of fungal diseases just when the signals are needed, in a context where humidity is constant. The effectiveness time of active ingredients cannot be standard: It depends on the vigour of the plants, the variety and above all on the local weather conditions. For example, if I do a treatment and after three days it rains, even if the product claims a one-week coverage, in practice that effectiveness time is drastically reduced.
