Wednesday, April 10 we were guests of Assofrutti to introduce WATER, ours precision irrigation system based on satellite data, designed for increase efficiency And reduce costs in hazelnut groves.
The meeting, hosted at the association's headquarters in the Palazzo della Cutura in Caprarola (VT), saw the participation of numerous members, technicians and local producers. Representing TETHYS were Matteo De Sanctis, Marketing and Communications Manager, and Francesco Percopo, of the commercial team, who illustrated in detail the functioning of AQUA and advantages found in the field.
Less water, lower costs: the numbers of AQUA
During the presentation, the following were shared: the results obtained in real hazelnut cultivation contexts. The data speaks for itself: AQUA allows an average saving of 40% on water usage, with a consequent reduction of energy and operating expenses.
The system exploits high resolution satellite images, integrated with meteorological data and agronomic models, to provide daily indications on where, when and how much to water. There is only one goal: maximize the efficiency of water intervention, safeguarding precious resources and increasing the profitability of the hazelnut grove.
A ready-to-use technology
One of the strengths of AQUA is its simplicity: The system does not require ground sensors or field installations. Agricultural producers can easily view, with TETHYS App, Vegetative vigor maps, water balance And practical irrigation tips.
The response from the participants was positive: interest in simple and effective digital solutions is growing, and more and more agricultural companies are evaluating the adoption of tools like AQUA to approach resource management more consciously.
A collaboration that looks forward
The day with Assofrutti members confirmed how direct dialogue with producers is fundamental for innovation in agricultureTogether we can build a more sustainable, technological and resilient hazelnut growing model.
