5 Bio Control Agents in IPM Mycotoxin producing fungi Plant Pathology section - Research

6 BarberaCroatina Malvasia di Candia aromatica Ortrugo Surface: 6300 Ha Wine production: 227638 HL Viticulture in Piacenza

7 Plant Pathology section – Spin-off company Aim: -> increase the value of research through transferring the technological innovation to practical agriculture at national and international level, with emphasis for increasing crop yield and quality, reducing the environmental impact and preserving food safety. Horta meets these objectives by developing: new cropping strategies, methods and products, Decision Support Systems (DSSs) based on new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for integrated crop production.

8 Plant Pathology section – Spin-off company Wheat: diseases (rusts, powdery mildew, fusarium head scab, mycotoxins) and agronomic technical advices (density of seeds at drilling, nitrogen fertilization, weed control) Apple and pear scab Leaf curl of peaches Grape: diseases (DM, PM, insects) and agronomic technical advices. Coming soon: Tomato and rice DSS!

9 Modeling approach and applications

10 Define the model purpose Conceptualize the model Develop the mathematical framework Evaluate the model verification validation uncertainty analysis sensitivity analysis judgement of utility problem to be addressed stakeholders intended use model boundaries Draw the model diagram Making assumptions Define complexity Testing conceptual model driving models Implement in DSS Model development Vitebio.net™
