Following the established schedule, in the month of July we have begun with the expansion of the areas where we currently working with the laser and we have started the trials in two more farms in the province of Cádiz, “El Chorreadero” in the municipality of San José del Valle, and “Torremesa” in Chipiona.
The cultivation of table grapes in the area of Rota, Chipiona and Sanlúcar has acquired great importance in recent years, and struggle against one of its greatest dangers such as small passerine birds is quiet important for us. The results obtained have been really encouraging, especially with sparrows, one of the most harmful small birds in the area. The objective of this extension is none other than to continue carrying out tests that demonstrate the positive reaction or not of the different animals to this system.
At the beginning of July we had the pleasure of receiving the visit of Eduardo Cordova López of LJMU, one of the members of the project with whom we spent three days in which we made visits to the farms of Ángel Camacho Alimentación SL where the trials are being carried out and made a brief review of all the information obtained so far, talking about the most important points to deal with for the next months.
