Puglia's SRD01 (CSR 2023-2027) funds productive farm investments as outright grants. The "generalista" SRD01.05 call is open — 60% up to 80% — funding new irrigation systems and digital technology. See where SoilSense fits.
SRD01 is the CAP intervention for on-farm competitiveness investments. In Puglia the CSR 2023-2027 runs it as several separate calls; right now the "generalista" SRD01.05 call is open, funding productive investments — new irrigation systems and digital technology included — from 60% up to 80% as an outright grant.
Puglia has published SRD01 in several windows: the olive-sector calls SRD01.01A and SRD01.01B (Xylella-free and Xylella-infected areas), the SRD01.02, SRD01.03 and SRD01.04 interventions — now closed — the open "generalista" SRD01.05 call, and the young-farmers SRD01.06 call, opening soon. You apply to the call that matches your project: the one open to everyone today is SRD01.05.

SoilSense measures soil moisture in the root zone so you irrigate on data, not by habit. In the "generalista" SRD01.05 call it falls among the eligible digital-technology investments and makes the new irrigation system you build more efficient. Either way, have your technician or CAA confirm how it fits your dossier before you apply.
