Olive Oil
Ensuring olive oil quality from field to harvest.
Challenges
This olive grove needed a way to measure and protect the quality of their olive oil by controlling factors such as:
Soil Moisture
Weather
Humidity
Temperature
Chlorophyll type A & B
Beta-Carotene
The Solution
Data collected by weather station monitors regarding field climatic data can be visualized in real-time using Enismaro to increase labor efficiency, for example by indicating the best way to intervene with treatments.
This technology makes it possible to detect the presence of pathogens early on and to optimize the required treatments, resulting in a significant cost reduction.
Likewise, fertilization can also be targeted and instead of applying the same dose of fertilizer across an entire patch, dosage can be modulated depending on the actual needs of the trees.
This enables olive farmers to focus on the more vulnerable ones to save time and product. Data collected in the field also makes it possible to identify plants in distress due to pathogens or parasites.
Results
Enismaro’s IoT platform enabled:
- Early detection and targeted intervention in olive tree care (decontamination, fertilization);
- More efficiency in the allocation of resources;
- Cost reduction.
Challenges
The weather station monitors climatic data of fields in real time and thus optimizes the working day, indicating when it is better to intervene with treatments. This technology, indeed, makes it possible to discover in advance the presence of pathogens and to optimize treatments, using them only when actually necessary resulting in a significant reduction in costs.
Following the same principle, fertilization can also be targeted Instead of applying the same dose of fertilizer over the entire soil, it can be modulated on the actual needs of the trees. You can therefore concentrate on the less vigorous ones, saving time and materials. The data collected in the field also makes it possible to identify plants in distress due to pathogens or parasites.
