Pulverizadores Fede took part in the Digitalisation and Smart Machinery Conference for Olive Growing, a training-focused event centred on new technologies for olive cultivation.
Organised by the University of Córdoba, with the support of the Regional Government of Andalusia, funding from the European Union, and the collaboration of DCOOP, the event served as a meeting point for technicians, farmers and companies from across the sector.
The conference offered a comprehensive programme combining classroom-based technical training with practical field demonstrations, allowing attendees to gain first-hand insight into the latest innovations applied to phytosanitary treatments in olive groves. The first day of training took place at the Nuestra Señora de Araceli Cooperative (Lucena), while the second day was held at the headquarters of the Baena Olive Oil PDO Regulatory Council.
Technical Training and Field Trials
Our colleagues Roberto Grau (Head of Customer Service & Technical) and Nika Ubiria (Technical Service) delivered specialised training on the optimal application of phytosanitary treatments in olive groves, covering the following key topics:
- Calibration principles and best practices. The session addressed the fundamental principles of sprayer calibration, along with best practices required to optimise treatment quality and effectiveness. Emphasis was placed on reducing losses and improving spray coverage to ensure effective and sustainable applications.
- H3O Technology: precision, efficiency and traceability. The H3O system was presented as an advanced precision spraying technology. This solution enables the planning, execution, monitoring, recording, analysis and full traceability of treatments, providing key data to support improved agronomic and business decision-making.
- Sprayer Connect: digitalisation within everyone’s reach. Sprayer Connect is a universal device designed to digitalise phytosanitary treatments in speciality crops. It is the ideal solution for growers who wish to begin digitalising their treatments in a simple, fast and cost-effective way.
The training concluded with a field demonstration using a Fede air-assisted sprayer equipped with H3O technology. Participants were able to observe its operation in real conditions and learn about its performance and agronomic benefits firsthand.
Participation in this type of training initiative reinforces Fede’s commitment to the digital transformation of the agricultural sector and to generational renewal in farming through knowledge transfer. Our team works closely with farmers and technicians to support the adoption of technologies that enhance operational efficiency, improve orchard management, and increase competitiveness and profitability in the market.
