Irrigation
Dal bilancio idrico al consiglio giornaliero: segui l’acqua disponibile nel terreno e traduci il fabbisogno della coltura in durata, volume totale, metri cubi per ettaro e litri per pianta, in base all’impianto utilizzato.
Bluleaf DSS
More informed agronomic decisions for irrigation, fertilisation and crop protection
Bluleaf DSS enhances the work of agronomists and technical advisers throughout the crop cycle. The operational overview updates with data collected in the field, while agronomic algorithms help interpret it and assess crop needs.
The adviser and grower work from the same information, share assessments and follow decisions together, from planning through to checking operations. The agronomist can therefore provide timely guidance and continuous support for field activities.
Fertilisation
Dal fabbisogno al piano di concimazione: confronta i nutrienti richiesti dalla coltura con quelli già distribuiti e organizza prodotti, dosi e apporti nelle diverse fasi fenologiche.
Crop protection
Dal rischio alla pianificazione dei trattamenti: combina modelli previsionali e monitoraggi in campo, quindi verifica prodotti, etichette e disciplinari regionali con le informazioni disponibili in BDF.
Functionality
Specialised tools for those making field decisions every day
Over ten years, Bluleaf DSS has developed tools dedicated to understanding the crop cycle and managing operations. A body of experience that supports professionals in their work and in their dialogue with producers.
Water balance
View crop water use, the water available in the soil, and trends in rainfall, irrigation and drainage.
Irrigation advice
Receive daily guidance expressed as duration, total volume, cubic metres per hectare and litres per plant.
Irrigation plan
Define the irrigation strategy for each phenological stage, including the permitted stress level and the percentage of the reserve to restore.
Nutrient balance
Compare the crop’s theoretical requirements with the inputs already applied for the main nutrients.
Fertilisation plan
Distribute operations across the phenological stages and calculate the nutrients supplied by the selected fertilisers.
Crop protection plan
Organise treatments by pest or disease and phenological stage, keeping products, rates, water volumes and application methods visible.
Predictive models
View risk trends throughout the season and the details of the indicators for the selected day.
Monitoring and traps
Record field observations and track the severity of pests and diseases and trap catches over time.
BDF
View fertilisers, plant protection products, compositions, labels and Italian regional production protocols for the main crops.
Phenology
Configure the stages of the cycle and update them with observations made in the field.
Weather and sensor data
View conditions during the cycle and compare model results with measurements collected in the field.
Satellite imagery and drone surveys
Observe vegetation index trends and variability within fields.
Irrigation: from the balance to system-specific guidance
Bluleaf DSS uses separate models to estimate evapotranspiration, crop water use and changes in soil water.
The balance considers the soil water reserve, rainfall, recorded irrigation and drainage. Results can be compared with measurements from sensors connected to the crop cycle.
The requirement is then converted into a duration and volume for each configured irrigation system. If the unit has multiple systems, Bluleaf provides separate guidance consistent with the technical characteristics of each one.
The irrigation plan completes the picture by defining the permitted stress level and the amount of the reserve to restore during the different phenological stages.
Understand the crop’s water status
View the water reserve, evapotranspiration and soil depletion level. Check rainfall, irrigation, drainage and the recent reserve status.
Turn water requirements into operational guidance
For each irrigation system, view the recommended duration and the volume of water to apply. Get guidance consistent with the characteristics of the irrigation system.
Define an irrigation strategy for the crop cycle
In the irrigation plan, you can configure water stress and the reserve to restore for each phenological stage. These settings guide the advice throughout the season.
Automate and manage irrigation remotely
You can automate irrigation and remotely manage the IoT devices connected to the irrigation system. Each completed operation is automatically recorded in the system.
High-resolution satellite indices
Satellite imagery lets you view NDVI, NDRE and NDMI indices over time, together with RGB and SWIR views.
Fertilisation: requirements and inputs throughout the cycle
The nutrient balance shows how much nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulphur the crop requires and how much has already been applied.
In the fertilisation plan, operations are placed within the phenological stages and associated with the selected fertilisers. The composition stored in BDF is used to calculate the actual input of each nutrient, expressed in kilograms per hectare.
The comparison between theoretical requirements, planned quantities and completed inputs keeps the season’s nutrient picture up to date.
Compare nutrient requirements and inputs
View the comparison between crop requirements and the inputs already applied. Check coverage for each phenological stage and use the chart to follow fertilisation trends.
Build the fertilisation plan
In the plan, organise operations by phenological stage and associate products and rates. Bluleaf calculates inputs using BDF data, compares them with crop requirements and lets you record fertilisation in the digital field records.
Use BDF during planning
View fertiliser composition and information on suitability for organic farming. For crop protection, find authorised uses, rates, pre-harvest intervals and checks based on the regional production protocols associated with the crop.
Crop protection: risk, monitoring and treatment control
Predictive models show how risk develops during the season using data from the associated weather station.
Field observations and traps document the presence and severity of pests and diseases. The crop protection plan then organises treatments by phenological stage and provides the BDF information needed to select and use the product.
During planning, Bluleaf compares the rate, water volume, number of treatments and pre-harvest interval with the label and the applicable production protocol. Conditions that require attention remain visible before the treatment is recorded in the digital field records.
Plan crop protection
In the crop protection plan, associate pests and diseases with phenological stages and specify the product, rate and application method for each treatment. Bluleaf checks the information against the label and production protocol, highlighting the conditions to verify.
Track treatments, pre-harvest intervals and copper
View monitoring, planned or completed treatments and the days since the last operation. Check the pre-harvest interval, the copper applied and the crop protection calendar across the phenological stages.
Monitor pests and diseases in the field
Record the pest or disease, affected organ, severity and trap catches, attaching photographs and documents. Follow monitoring trends in the charts and compare them with the configured thresholds.
View predicted risk
Select the weather station, model and season to analyse. View the risk level, weather parameters, critical windows and any representation of them on the map.
Record operations in the digital field records
Irrigation, fertilisation and treatments included in the plans can be converted into completed operations.
The information already in the plan is carried into the record and the activity becomes part of the crop cycle history. Balances and summaries can therefore take account of what was actually done in the field.
Bring agronomic decisions into field operations
View crop conditions, plan irrigation, fertilisation and crop protection, and record operations in the digital field records.
