Vineyard Safe: the review of Maria Davoli, Azienda Agricola Davoli in Calabria

Discovered thanks to her husband

Maria says it was her husband who found her. Safe vineyard on social media specialized in viticulture. "Mary, there's this app, let's try to download it," she told her, and so they started using the platform.

The Problem of Too Many Treatments

Their main difficulty was having to do many treatments throughout the year in order to be able to bring home a decent harvest. With five hectares of vineyards, the cost of pesticides was considerable.

They wanted to reduce the number of interventions both to protect the environment and for economic reasons, keeping under control peronospora e oidium.

Always on alert

Thanks to Vigneto Sicuro they are always up to date and everything is under control. The alerts received are clear: When they arrive, they know it's time to deal.

Perfect for a difficult year

The year was complicated, with heavy rains until June. Despite this, the application helps them to control the situation well, confirming their satisfaction.


Full Testimony

I really met you because of my husband. He follows a lot all these social networks that deal with vineyards and I think that through some of them he has also found your app. That's why he told me: ‘Maria, there is this app, let’s try to sign up, let’s try to download it’. So that's how we met you.

Our problem is that unfortunately we happen to have to do many treatments during the year in order to be able to complete, say, a decent harvest. So that was our problem. We wanted a bit for the environment, that is, not to use too many pesticides, a bit also cheap, in the sense that in any case the expenditure is significant. We have five hectares of vineyards, so in short, the treatments are remarkable.

This was the idea, therefore, of being able to reduce the number of treatments and keep both downy mildew and powdery mildew under control. That was the main motivation.

So, we're happy because we're always on alert. For the moment everything is under control, so Vigneto Sicuro helps us in this regard to always keep the alert very high. Because when we get alerts, we know we have to deal. The vintage is what it is, it rained a lot until June and so unfortunately this is the situation. That is, for the application we are very happy because we are able, I repeat, to control well.
