"We have reached the third generation and will soon celebrate our 70th anniversary. We integrate tradition and innovation to use resources correctly and conscientiously," explains Antonio Bolla, owner of Agribolla from Nettuno (Roma). The company covers 19 hectares of multi-tunnels and, a few years ago, it started introducing differentiated production dynamics for the winter and summer periods.
"In winter, the entire area is used to grow chard, chicory, spinach and parsley for the packed unwashed and fresh-cut range, as well as celery and cappuccina salad. During the summer period, rotation and solarization are carried out, introducing additional crops such as beans, cucumbers and eggplants. This ensures a diversification on the market as well as optimal fertility of the soil."

Managing crops thanks to DSS
Renewal is the key to winning climate and market challenges and it passes through Decision Support Systems (DSS) and new production processes. "The challenges we deal with undoubtedly concern productivity and the containment of production costs. New technologies are a useful and reliable tool to guarantee swift, correct and efficient decisions. After trying other solutions, we entrusted Evja and its patented DSS: it helps us and other companies optimize the use of phytosanitary products as well, while guaranteeing healthy environments and products."
"The first thing I do every day is access the Evja portal and read the information that the system has collected for me then, based on these information, I start making decisions, I check whether irrigation was carried out properly and if the phytosanitary or vegetative health of plants were safeguarded. This also applies when I am away from the premises."
The DSS forms an integral part of our everyday routine, because "it helps assess with scientific data whether we need to shade, warm, ventilate, irrigate and fertilize, becoming a practical support for those who choose cultivation as their job and mission."
