Bit of what website says about BODI
The description of BODI
BoDi is an innovative, simple and flexible tool that informs on the agrometeorological conditions of its range, on the potential development of the main adversities and on the protection dynamics of a phytosanitary treatment.
With a password it is possible to consult, via your smartphone, real-time information on: weather conditions of the last seven days and seven-day forecasts; synthetic indices of disease risk (downy mildew, powdery mildew, botrytis and black rot); protection dynamics of registered phytosanitary treatment.
What are the advantages? Using BoDi allows you to:
1) defend the vineyard only if necessary, in accordance with the principles of the IPM;
2) save on phytosanitary defense costs (economic sustainability);
3) reduce exposure to chemicals (social sustainability);
4) reduce negative impacts on the environment (environmental sustainability) and increase one's professionalism and capacity for independent choices;
5) enhance the identity of a conscious and responsible producer.
From the access toolbar you can choose one of the main features:
I) weather conditions;
II) disease risk indexes;
III) protection dynamics.
Choosing a plant protection product from a complete database of authorized viticulture products and entering the date and time of the intervention (real or simulated), the tool displays the period during which the treatment will guarantee the protection of the vineyard against the specific pathogen, in relation to the characteristics of the product used, to the weather conditions and to the development of vegetation.
BoDi provides an immediate and easily understandable picture of the risk level of the main plant diseases. The system contextualizes the development models of pathogens to the environmental conditions and to the phenological phase of the vineyard.
