Automated Phytosanitary Systems in Heroic Vineyards

The project developed two automated fixed systems for phytosanitary treatments in heroic vineyards, achieving performance comparable to conventional methods. Key benefits include operator-free application, precise chemical distribution, and reduced drift through anti-drift nozzles. Electrolyzed water showed efficacy on par with standard formulations, even at half-dose. The initiative introduced the "Vigna Sostenibile" regional brand to certify sustainable practices and promoted the LA.VI.P.E. platform for agricultural record-keeping. Epidemiological monitoring in Treviso province found no significant environmental concerns. Funded by the European Union.
