Sustainable Apple Production with Innovative Spraying Machinery
In collaboration with Italy's largest apple producer, the 'Melinda' Consortium, we have implemented an innovative and sustainable innovative spraying machinery designed to protect the environment while enhancing apple production. The project focuses on reducing CO₂ emissions, and may also be designed to safeguarding crops from frost. The advanced S.O.PH.I.A system offers precise chemical spraying, reduced environmental contamination and efficient resource use, ensuring a healthier and safer working environment for future generations.
