BEST PRACTICES
FS: Traceability System integrated on the entire
durum wheatwheat-semolina chain
(Agri 2000)
A. Evaluation of innovations in organization for traceability along
durum wheat chain.
◘ Elaboration of an Agronomical Form based both on farmers
needs and agricultural practices requirements
◘ Preparation of a manual with guidelines for the
management of risk and traceability along the production
chain
FS: Protection of durum wheat in
storage conditions
(University of Milan)
◘ Grain screening before storage reduces significantly insects infestation
during storage. The effect is stronger on Tribolium spp.,
spp., but weaker
on Rhyzopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae.
oryzae.
◘ Biological pest control can be applied in storage facilities after
cleaning and before storage, but not directly on grain or semolina.
GOOD AGRONOMY PRACTICES BARILLA:
CULTIVATION AND STORAGE OF HIGH QUALITY
DURUM WHEAT
• First release in 1994 and regularly updated
• The Manual includes best practices for appropriate cultivation and storage
of Durum Wheat defined by Barilla Company in order to achieve excellent
quality and safety standards required for Barilla Pasta.
• The Manual is articulated in two main parts:
Package of agronomy prescriptions to be complied for the cultivation of
durum wheat to be supplied to Barilla Company;
Best practices to be adopted during storage to guarantee correct
preservation of durum wheat to be supplied to Barilla Company.

DON PREDICTIVE MODEL
• Weather condition, starting from earing, are critical (about 50% relevance) on
fungi development and DON production.
• Agronomy management is the second relevant factor
• Simulations are run twice per week starting from earing both for “climatic
risk” and “global risk” (climatic + agronomy) for 3 main scenarios
• Regions: Emilia Romagna, Toscana, Marche, Puglia, Basilicata + Mantova
and Rovigo districts
The output:
Climatic risk assessment
DON occurrence for
agronomy scenario
Risk to exceed the limit
for agronomy scenario
