The blueberry and berry industry in general has had to face a difficult year due to the effects of climate change. In South America it has manifested itself through the El Niño phenomenon, which has directly impacted a significant decrease in production and export volumes, mainly in the Peruvian industry, and in Europe through storms, cyclones and other meteorological phenomena that have directly harmed crops, as is the case in Morocco and much of Europe.

It has been a particularly complex year, which has been added to equally difficult past seasons, in which we have had to face prolonged droughts, water shortages, unexpected frosts, hail, snowfall or plant stress due to excess radiation or heat strokes. , among other threats that arise from environmental or meteorological factors.

Experience is not enough

In the numerous conversations or debates that arise from industry meetings, it is not unusual to hear that some producers are guided by a table that prioritizes “90% of the management they do in the field as a result of their experience and only 10 % of what science advises them.”

As a slogan it is provocative and serves to attract followers or temporary sympathies, but honestly it increasingly comes closer to ignorance and blindness to see reality, which is more irrefutable every day. Science has not only warned us of the danger of climate change and its consequences, but has also advanced at a rapid pace in the development of technological tools to mitigate its consequences and adapt to this new reality.

Ensure sustainability

In this perspective, Blueberries Consulting meetings, in each of the countries in which they are held, are always focused on responsible scientific research and the good use of cutting-edge technologies, which help producers achieve good results. productive results, yields, quality and, above all, profitability.

This is the case of the technology associated with protected agriculture, hydroponic management systems, the digitalization of the different areas of the production and export process, plant genetic improvement, and almost the entire post-harvest stage, among other advances.

It is urgent to guarantee the sustainability of agricultural activity and support producers in accessing cutting-edge technologies to face the agronomic and climatic challenges that are seen as recurring.

new applications

In the current situation, of water scarcity in almost all regions of the world, the science and technology associated with solutions in this area will be preferential in the offer that will be made in the next International Seminars.

Trutina Blueberry Edition is just one example of this, as it is a device capable of offering real-time information on multiple values ​​of processed data, extracted directly from the plant and its environment, allowing a complete analysis of irrigation strategies by sector and by variety.

It is a technological and innovative solution that is designed to optimize the use of water by the plant and not only to report the humidity present in the soil, because comprehensively knowing the activity of the plant allows for more precise optimization of management. of the water. It also allows modifying the plant's metabolism to achieve the desired behavior, a determining factor for high-yield intensive cultivation.

prevention technology

In modern agriculture, adverse scenarios must be prevented and overcome, so it is essential to have tools that allow accurate measurement and analysis of accurate data, which are the basis on which correct planning is based, which is why offer of cutting-edge technological solutions will have priority in the future Blueberries Consulting International Seminars, which your company can access in the different countries in which they are carried out.
