Full Testimony

My name is Juan Diego Moreno. I have an organic winery: We practice organic farming with minimal intervention and we are in Pilas, Seville. I met you through Dario, our agronomist and oenologist, and thanks to him we established contact.

The fungi we are most concerned about are downy mildew and powdery mildew. We try to progressively improve with this type of methodology and to prevent these fungal diseases, because it was a very rainy spring that created the ideal soil for the development of infections: Many precipitation and morning dew have made disease control particularly complex.

Vigneto Sicuro has helped us a lot in prevention, allowing us to avoid unnecessary treatments against downy mildew and oidium. The app supported us by predicting temperature and precipitation and reporting the high risk of downy mildew and oidium. I would definitely recommend it.
