VAIMEE

For agronomists

Every field you follow, on the same water balance.

You already know what the crop needs. What costs you time is doing it for thirty fields at once, on soils you have not walked, with a week of weather that has not happened yet. Agorà runs that part.

In your hands, not in a black box

You can check every number it gives you.

Water balance

The terms, not just the total

Evapotranspiration, rain, irrigation, drainage, the water held in each soil layer: the balance is open, so you can argue with it. A number you cannot interrogate is a number you cannot defend to a grower.

Scenarios

Run the model yourself

Change the crop, the soil or the season and run it again. What a field would answer in four months, the twin answers while you are still on the phone.

Assessment

Which irrigations really mattered

Replay a season that has already happened and see which of those irrigations changed the outcome and which only moved water. It is the shortest argument for changing a habit.

In Agorà Studio

From the map to the water balance, one season at a time.

Choose the field, crop and weather year, inspect the model parameters and follow the water through the season: rain, irrigation, soil water reserves and evapotranspiration.

  • Scenario configuration: Emilia-Romagna map, SMB1 soil, year 2026, potato and micro-irrigation

    Start with the field on the map. The soil is detected from the Emilia-Romagna soil maps; choose a weather year, crop and irrigation method to define the scenario.

  • Crop details grouped into development, roots, water demand and irrigation

    The crop parameters stay visible: sowing date and cycle duration, crop coefficient, root depth and the degree-day thresholds that govern irrigation.

  • Daily minimum, maximum and mean temperatures in 2026 from ARPAE ERG5 cell 01577

    The weather the simulation starts from: daily minimum, maximum and mean temperatures from ARPAE’s ERG5 grid, for the selected location and year.

  • Water balance summary and daily rainfall and irrigation chart

    Inputs and outputs, not just a total: irrigation, precipitation, runoff, drainage and capillary rise. The chart shows when rain falls and when the model irrigates.

  • Soil water content and available water over time in the first metre and the rooting zone

    The soil water reserve, day by day: water content and available water in the first metre, readily available water in the rooting zone and the available fraction relative to the soil’s available water capacity.

  • Chart of reference evapotranspiration ET0, transpiration and evaporation

    Atmospheric demand and the field’s response: reference evapotranspiration (ET₀), crop transpiration and soil evaporation, shown separately through the season.

  • Unit, temperature, crop and soil JSON data for a simulation example at Budrio in 2025

    Inside the simulation data: unit, temperatures, crop and soil layers in JSON format. This example uses real data from Budrio (Bologna), year 2025, with transplanted tomato and SEC3 soil.

  • Charts and indicators for the 2025 example: temperatures, 649.6 mm of rain and 220 mm of model irrigation

    The 2025 example in charts: temperatures and their extremes, rainfall and model irrigation. The summaries report 649.6 mm of rain and 220 mm delivered over 44 irrigations.
