Pre- and post-sales technical consultancy for establishing and managing hazelnut orchards

We support producers through every stage of hazelnut orchard development with qualified, personalized technical consultancy.

We support our customers with scientific and practical expertise: from assessing soil suitability and pedoclimatic conditions to orchard planning, selecting varieties and planting density and defining the best agronomic management strategies.

We guarantee ongoing support after planting as well, providing guidance on cultivation, irrigation, nutrition, pruning, pest and disease control and soil management techniques. Our goal is to promote a rapid start into production, maintain high quality standards, and optimize the long-term return on investment.

Visits to the Deruta Living Lab

We organize technical visits to the Living Lab in Deruta (PG), a demonstration center dedicated to research, innovation, and technology transfer in hazelnut cultivation.

The site hosts agronomic trials and experimental activities developed by the DSA3 at the University of Perugia and the Foundation for Agricultural Education in Perugia, with the aim of identifying innovative solutions to improve the sustainability, efficiency, and competitiveness of hazelnut cultivation.

Visitors can observe firsthand in the field the trials regarding planting techniques, soil fertility management, irrigation, plant nutrition, pruning, biotic and abiotic pest control, and strategies for increasing productivity and crop quality.
The Living Lab provides a forum for researchers, technicians, and growers to exchange views and disseminate scientific knowledge and best agronomic practices. The visits offer an important opportunity for professional development and training, allowing participants to learn more about the latest innovations in the hazelnut sector and to implement immediately applicable, concrete solutions to their farms.
