EVJA stations: real-time data from the field
Each station is an autonomous data acquisition system that collects, 24 hours a day, six key microclimatic and soil-climatic parameters used in irrigation and plant protection models.
| Parametro | Intervallo di misura |
|---|---|
| Temperatura dell’aria | -40 ÷ +85 °C |
| Umidità relativa dell’aria | 0 ÷ 100 %RH |
| Bagnatura fogliare | 0 ÷ 100 % |
| Radiazione solare (Piranometro) | 0 ÷ 250.000 lux / 2.000 W/m² |
| Contenuto volumetrico acqua suolo (VWC) | 0 ÷ 70 %VWC — a 15–20 cm |
| Temperatura del suolo | -40 ÷ +60 °C |

Precision irrigation for industrial tomatoes
Soil measurement
The probes measure soil water content at a depth of 15–20 cm and distinguish between irrigation and rainfall.
Threshold analysis
The DSS indicates when the soil is too dry or too saturated.
Water requirement calculation
Soil data are integrated with temperature, humidity, solar radiation, wind and ETc.
Irrigation decision
The DSS indicates when to irrigate and how much water to apply.
Predictive plant protection for tomatoes
Risk of active infection
Risk of sporulation
Carbon balance: measuring to improve
The analysis considers emissions related to fuel use by agricultural machinery, on-farm electricity consumption, and the upstream and downstream production chain, from fertilizer production and transport to the logistics of the harvested product.
Real company data
Structured questionnaires, company records, and cross-checking of sources
Calibrated model
Developed in collaboration with the Federico II University using data collected from the farms.
Net carbon balance
The software compares emissions with the carbon sequestered through photosynthesis during the crop cycle.
