Enovitis awards the Dosa sprayer

The 2019 edition of Enovitis In Campo awards the Cima company of Montù Beccaria (Pavia) with the prestigious prize entitled “Technological Innovation Award”, which is given to the most innovative machines for the viticulture sector. The Dosa model (Droplet Size Adjustment), a pneumatic sprayer with anti-drift diffuser, expressly designed by the technicians of the Pavia company to reduce the impact of pesticides both on the environment and on human health. Developed in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Food Sciences (DISAFA) of the University of Turin, the new Cima sprayer is designed to contain the drift effect by producing, depending on operational needs, larger drops without modifying the volume or the speed of the supplied air, and also without changing the quantity of product distributed per hectare. In short, thanks to this particular constructive solution, Cima’s sprayer is able to control the dispersion of the pesticides especially on vertical cultivations, i.e. in orchards and vineyards. The award ceremony of the “Technological Innovaton Award” took place at the opening of the conference on the issue of “Border land: soil and vineyard in the challenge of quality and climate change” held on June 20 in Montepulciano, as part of the Enovitis in Campo conferences, and dedicated to the complex dynamics of the relationship between vineyard and soil.
