Vineyards system in Spain – Booklet #2

Key Hub Conclusions:
Various demonstration events have been organized to support farmers in their endeavor to reduce phytosanitary applications. While phytosanitary recovery machines were showcased, their adaptability to the prevalent production system in the region remains a challenge, limiting their widespread use. Moreover, discussions and demonstrations focused on decision support systems (DSS) aimed to ensure that applications occur only when necessary rather than following a fixed calendar. However, farmers express hesitancy in fully trusting these models, emphasizing the difficulty of not adopting preventive measures when mildew, with irreversible effects on plants, poses a constant threat.
