Context and discovery
Roberto operates in the territory of the extinct volcano of Roccamonfina (Campania). He discovered Safe vineyard through Instagram, looking for a tool to have a more precise control on the conditions of their vineyards, after the disastrous year of 2023 marked by the peronospora.
The need: control and reduction of plant protection products
After significant losses in 2023, the main objective was to reduce the use of plant protection products without compromising the quality of production. It needed a more punctual approach than the scheduled treatments.
How it helped Vigneto Sicuro
Vigneto Sicuro has provided data and alerts that have allowed us to:
- carry out targeted interventions based on real risk rather than on a fixed timetable;
- reduce the number of treatments and therefore the consumption of products;
- improve the quality of the final grapes through more timely and appropriate interventions.
Why it works here
In areas prone to intense blight episodes, timely decision-making is crucial. The app provides information that allows you to anticipate the diseases and intervene only when necessary, with economic and environmental benefits.
Full Testimony
I am a winemaker in Campania, in the territory of the extinct volcano of Roccamonfina. I met Vigneto Sicuro through Instagram. I was looking for software that could give me more control over the vineyards, because we came from the 2023 vintage, with the great problem of downy mildew in Campania: We had lost a lot of harvest and needed a further step to control the vineyards.
It was important for us to reduce the use of plant protection products and, thanks to Vigneto Sicuro, we have already achieved a good result. It allowed us to do targeted interventions instead of following calendars regardless, avoiding unnecessary treatments. The use of the software has helped us both in the quality of the final grapes and in the reduction of the products used.
