APP | v2.84.0 | 08/04/2022

 

 

[MIGLIORIA] Multi-annual crops and facilitated field creation

It is now possible to indicate a crop as multi-annual, simplifying plot management for those crops that typically span several crop years. With the following setting, the crop, variety, planting pattern and all other settings will be valid for the entire period indicated.
The simplicity of drawing field boundaries has been improved, some clearer terms have been inserted in the compilation screens and the process of adding a new field has been optimised.

[MIGLIORIA] New Protection and Accuracy Assessment Forecasts

The Defence function has been enriched with several new functions. Prediction of the level of protection provided by previous defence activities is now available for all diseases and crops supported by the Defence module. This function, previously limited to specific crops, requires that the defence interventions in Activities have been recorded and takes into account weather conditions, together with the mode of action of the plant protection product used.
It is also possible to personally evaluate the forecasts received, indicating how accurate they were, in order to help the algorithm provide an increasingly personalised and accurate forecast.

 

[MIGLIORIA] New Connections and Types of Machinery

Support was added for connection with INVEHICLE AMA systems. In addition, control units can now be scanned with the Scan function and the possibility of deleting a system connection directly from a machine page has been corrected. Finally, a new type of machinery was added, called a harvesting header.

 

[MIGLIORIA] New Type of Sampling Notes

A new type of note, called Sampling, is now available, designed to identify measurements made in the field for agronomic purposes.

 

[BUG] Correction of entry with negative values in Alerts

A bug that did not allow the correct entry of negative values in the configuration of a new alert was fixed.

 

[BUG] Correcting the Editing and Display of Certain Activities

It is now possible to edit the fields on which a group of activities have been carried out. In addition, a bug was fixed that did not allow telemetry data to be displayed in some activities

 

[MIGLIORIA] Adding and modifying VAT numbers

It is now possible to enter and edit the VAT number of your farm in the My Farm section of the app.

WEBAPP | v2.75.7 | 08/04/2022

[MIGLIORIA] New functions for the Defence module

Prediction of the level of protection provided by previous defence activities is now available for all diseases and crops supported by the Defence module. This function, previously limited to specific crops, requires that the defence interventions in Activities have been recorded and takes into account weather conditions, together with the mode of action of the plant protection product used.
A useful graph showing the evolution of the runoff of the products used has also been included.
A specific risk calculation for primary, secondary inoculum and infection is now available for Grapevine and Tomato crops.
Finally, it is now possible to personally evaluate the forecasts received, indicating how accurate they turned out to be, in order to help the algorithm provide an increasingly personalised and accurate forecast.

[MIGLIORIA] Restyling of the Notes section

The Notes module was redesigned to optimise the usability of its sections. The restyling affected the note creation and editing pages, to allow easier interaction. Maps and filters are now available on the display page. Finally, for those with the Operations Management module, it is now possible to display a notes section.

 

[MIGLIORIA] Inclusion of multi-year crops

It is now possible to indicate a crop as multi-annual, simplifying plot management for those crops that typically span several crop years. With the following setting, the crop, variety, planting pattern and all other settings will be valid for the entire period indicated. The subdivision of activities will in any case be divided into agricultural years. This choice involves the inclusion of only one crop.

 

[MIGLIORIA] Creating fields from files

È ora possibile creare un campo importando un file KMZ, KML, ISO-XML o SHP. This can be done directly when creating a new field via the dedicated button and avoids the manual drawing of boundaries.

 

[MIGLIORIA] Display of A/B lines and obstacles in Task Management

In the Task Management function, it is now possible to display the A/B lines and obstacles contained in ISO-XML tasks. These two elements are very useful for assisted driving systems linked to the app.
