LE TECNICHE DI DIFESA MIRANO ALLA RIDUZIONE DEGLI INTERVENTI CON PRODOTTI DI SINTESI

Il mercato, le tante specie e varietà presenti in coltivazione e le restrizioni normative, impongono una forte elasticità nella gestione degli aspetti tecnici in vivaio. La prevenzione ha inizio dal campo, con la consapevolezza che piante sane siano più pronte a resistere a stress. Stiamo lavorando verso una coltivazione maggiormente sostenibile, con tecniche sempre più mirate e in linea con quanto richiesto dalla difesa di tipo biologico. Fondamentale è anche il contatto con enti di ricerca, quali CNR e università, e aziende produttrici di mezzi per la difesa. Molti di loro vedono in noi un modello dinamico e con un obiettivo chiaro: ridurre l’utilizzo di agrofarmaci di sintesi per un rispetto ambientale sempre più concreto.

The Protection Techniques Are Aimed At The Reduction Of The Interventions With Synthesis Products

The market, the many species and varieties present in cultivation, and the regulation restrictions, require strong elasticity in the management of the technical aspects in the nursery. Prevention starts from the field, with the awareness that healthy plants resist more to stress. We are working towards a mostly sustainable cultivation, with techniques more and more specific and in line with what required by the biological type of protection. Fundamental is also the contact with research organisations, such as CNR (National Research Council) and universities, and companies that produce protection means. Many of them see us as a dynamic model with a clear objective: reduce the use of synthesis plant protection products to respect the environment more and more concretely.
