THE SYSTEM> From the plant to the fruit

An effective quality system cannot leave a careful control over traceability aside. Dal Pane’s traceability develops through following steps:

•Clones selection

•Micro-propagation (an exclusive at Farm-holding Vincenzo Venturi- Luogoraro di Cesena)

•Propagation by hard wood cutting and soft wood cutting on hotbed

•Cultivation in greenhouse and/or nursery

•Monitoring of the whole productive process:

-In the production lot we find a code composed of: a letter identifying the greenhouse or the tunnel of cultivation, and a number identifying the bed or the row of cultivation.

-During the whole productive process, coloured labels identify with each colour a single variety

-Records about every processing on each production lot (irrigations, fertilizations, treatments, toppings, substrate preparation, potting, and moving).

-Weekly technical and sanitary controls over the plants at all nurseries and  greenhouses (Verona, Castel Bolognese and Latina), in order to verify the sanitary state of the plants, the variety conformity, the ways of cultivation, the observance of agronomical instructions and the filling in and conservation of the forms.
