• •New OLAP system integrating the GSI model.•Historical farming practises analysis in different or similar phenological conditions.•Apulian case study with real farming and climatic data.•New OLAP client able to manage pivot tables for numerical data and also for graphic displays. Olive tree is one of the most important crop at global scale. Apulia is the first olive-producing region in Italy, with a huge amount of farms that generate Integrated Pest Management (IPM) data. IPM requires the simultaneous use of different crop protection techniques to control pests through an ecological and economic approach. The crop protection strategies are correlated to the climate condition considering the very important relation among climate, crops and pests. Therefore, in this work is presented a new advanced On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) model integrating the Growing Season Index (GSI), a phenology model, to compare indirectly the farms by a climatic point of view. The proposed system allows analysing IPM data of different farms having the same phenological conditions over a year to understand some best practices and to highlight and explain different practices adopted by farms working in different climatic conditions.
