Harvested from ORCID Public Data FileMarcella Biddoccu in OpenAIREThe study aimed at investigating drivers of adoption of good practices and technological innovations for soil protection in a group of winegrowers in Piedmont region, North west of Italy. Many previous studies addressed soil conservation and degradation, but the points of view of land operators have not been frequently addressed. Understanding farmers' perceptions, intentions and needs could help in a better suited implementation of measures for soil protection in vineyards. Four focus groups has been conducted with winegrowers (N=17) in Piedmont region, North-west Italy. Topics addressed in the focus groups were related to: perception of soil erosion and the role of the human factor in preventing/causing it, adoption and intention to adopt good practices and technological innovations for soil protection and, finally, barriers and drivers for their adoption. A questionnaire assessing participants' socio demographic characteristics and operation, vineyard management practices and perceived causes of soil erosion was administered to the respondents and the responses were used to encourage the discussion. Preliminary results showed that soil erosion was perceived as a relevant issue by the majority of the participants. Wide use of machinery during vineyard plantation and management was acknowledged as affecting soil and water conservation. Cost-benefit ratio did not sufficiently capture the complexity of farmers' decision making and behaviours, since the adoption of sustainable practices and technological innovations was more often related to place attachment and landscape protection. Social norms and peer pressures were not perceived as critical drivers for good practices adoption, whereas tradition and habits appeared to play a role in hindering the adoption of soil protection practices and technologies. Some recommendations arise from the present study: to encourage the adoption of soil protection practices and technologies, access to economic support should be spread but it does not seem to be enough. Personal values and habitual processes emerged as critical variables which could be targeted with awareness raising and education interventions. To maximize the fit between farmers' needs and sustainable innovation, these interventions should be based on a participatory approach and the co-creation of tailor-made solutions to better support the transition toward a more sustainable farming paradigm.

Harvested from ORCID Public Data FileEugenio Cavallo in OpenAIREWood chips represent one of the most popular biomass fuel in latest cogenerating plants and in small heating systems. This fuel, being characterized by low bulk density, requires high transportation costs. This obstacle can be overcome by wood chips densification. The authors investigated the energy benefit of wood chips densification for transport operations for "short supply chain" as defined by the Italian government for the biomass fuel subsidy scheme. Three different woods (poplar, chestnut and a mixture of spruce and eastern white pine) chips and six different tractor's trailed trailers were investigated. The total specific energy (kJ kg-1) required to transport a defined quantity of wood chips, the energy saving ratio (%) from chips' compaction and the breakeven distance (km) between raw and compressed chips were calculated. The results highlights that densification process of wood chips is an interesting opportunity to improve the transport energetic convenience. The benefit of wood chips densification is strongly affected by raw wood chips density values and by trailer characteristics: the benefit is maximum when the density of compressed wood chips to be transported attains the vehicle theoretical density

Significant trend was found for temperature variables (positive) and for harvest dates (negative), indicating anticipation of harvest onset from 11.6 to 34.22 days in the 58-years study period. The influence of increasing temperature and Huglin index in anticipating the harvest period was also highly significant for all the considered varieties and vineyards. Just the total precipitation did not show significant trend.

Paying attention to energy sources and fossil fuels use in agriculture could offer significant opportunities for on-farm mitigation actions directly focused on CO2. With this regard, the reduction of fossil fuels, and the increasing use of energy sources which are not petroleum-based, are key factors for the development of energy security and the achievement of carbon emissions reduction in agriculture. In recent years, agricultural machinery manufacturers started investing in solutions powered by renewable energy sources and a first-generation of tractor prototypes fueled by e-fuel, biomethane or hydrogen, are currently under development. The present study aimed to investigate the actual adoption and intention to adopt alternative fuels to power agricultural machinery among Italian farmers, analyzing also the perceived barriers to adoption and their relationships with participants' sociodemographic characteristics. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 409 Italian farmers asking them to indicate between e-fuel, biomethane and hydrogen which is the best alternative to fossil fuels in agriculture. Then, they were asked to rate their intention to adopt the selected energy source to power their machinery and the importance of barriers to adoption (costs, performance, safety, autonomy, refueling). Finally, they were asked if they had experience with agricultural machinery powered by alternative fuels. Results showed that the interest in using alternative energy machinery was higher for biomethane and e-fuel. Costs and refueling were perceived as themain barriers to adoption; Safety was indicated as a critical issue forhydrogen, while autonomy was relevant for e-fuel and biomethane. Furthermore, safety and refueling results correlated with the years of education. Implications for targeted interventions to support a wider adoption of these alternative fuels are discussed.

Harvested from ORCID Public Data FileEugenio Cavallo in OpenAIREComposting is an aerobic process that involves the decomposition of the urban waste leading, in accordance with the paradigm of the circular economy, to a stabilized final product rich in fertilizer properties. However, adopting this organic fertilizer may encounter significant barriers since many users still associate compost from organic municipal solid waste (OMSWC) with environmental and health hazards like soil contamination and bad odour. In this context, conveying information about compost use and properties with the appropriate communication channels could help overcome misguided beliefs about OMSWC. The present study investigated which drivers would encourage compost adoption and how the frequency of information through specific sources could influence the interest in using compost among potential users. Three main drivers were identified by surveying 59 potential compost users: providing a certification to the product, receiving more information about the origin of the material, and obtaining evidence about its positive effects on soil. Statistical analysis showed a positive association between frequent use of magazines/advertising as an information source and users' interest in adopting compost. In addition, results pointed out that potential users with higher education levels (with bachelor's degree or above) are more likely to use OMSWC than others. In conclusion, the present study suggests that it would be appropriate to redefine targeted communication campaigns to promote the benefits associated with the compost application for agricultural purposes.

Derived by OpenAIRE algorithms or harvested from 3rd party repositoriesEugenio Cavallo in OpenAIRE<p>Historical weather data represent an extremely precious resource for agro-meteorology for studying evolutionary dynamics and for predictive purposes, to address agronomical and management choices, that have economic, social and environmental effect. The study of climatic variability and its consequences starts from the observation of variations over time and the identification of the causes, on the basis of historical series of meteorological observations. The availability of long-lasting, complete and accurate datasets is a fundamental requirement to predict and react to climate variability. Inter-annual climate changes deeply affect grapevine productive cycle determining direct impact on the onset and duration of phenological stages and, ultimately, on the grape harvest and yield. Indeed, climate variables, such as air temperature and precipitation, affect evapotranspiration rates, plant water requirements, and also the vine physiology. In this respect, the observed increase in the number of warm days poses a threat to grape quality as it creates a situation of imbalance at maturity, with respect to sugar content, acidity and phenolic and aromatic ripeness.</p><p>A study was conducted to investigate the relationships between climate variables and harvest onset dates to assess the responses of grapevine under a global warming scenario. The study was carried out in the &#8220;Monferrato&#8221; area, a rainfed hillslope vine-growing area of NW Italy. In particular, the onset dates of harvest of different local wine grape varieties grown in the Vezzolano Experimental Farm (CNR-IMAMOTER) and in surrounding vineyards (affiliated to the Terre dei Santi Cellars) were recorded from 1962 to 2019 and then related to historical series of climate data by means of regression analysis. The linear regression was performed based on the averages of maximum and minimum daily temperatures and sum of precipitation (1962&#8211;2019) calculated for growing and ripening season, together with a bioclimatic heat index for vineyards, the Huglin index. The climate data were obtained from two data series collected in the Experimental farm by a mechanical weather station (1962-2002) and a second series recorded (2002-2019) by an electro-mechanical station included in Piedmont Regional Agro-meteorological Network. Finally, a third long-term continuous series covering the period from 1962 to 2019, provided by Italian Meteorological Society was considered in the analysis.</p><p>The results of the study highlighted that inter-annual climate variability, with a general positive trend of temperature, significantly affects the ripening of grapes with a progressive anticipation of the harvest onset dates. In particular, all the considered variables excepted precipitation, resulted negatively correlated with the harvest onset date reaching a high level of significance (up to P< 0.001). Best results have been obtained for maximum temperature and Huglin index, especially by using the most complete dataset. The change ratios obtained using datasets including last 15 years were greater (in absolute terms) than results limited to the period 1962-2002, and also correlations have greater level of significance. The results indicated clearly the relationships between the temperature trend and the gradual anticipation of harvest and the importance of having long and continuous historical weather data series available.</p>

The study of climatic variability and its consequences starts from the observation of variations over time and the identification of the causes, on the basis of historical series of meteorological observations. The availability of long-lasting, complete and accurate datasets is a fundamental requirement to predict and react to climate variability. Inter-annual climate changes deeply affect grapevine productive cycle determining direct impact on the onset and duration of phenological stages and, ultimately, on the grape harvest and yield. Indeed, climate variables, such as air temperature and precipitation, affect evapotranspiration rates, plant water requirements, and also the vine physiology. In this respect, the observed increase in the number of warm days poses a threat to grape quality as it creates a situation of imbalance at maturity, with respect to sugar content, acidity and phenolic and aromatic ripeness.</p><p>A study was conducted to investigate the relationships between climate variables and harvest onset dates to assess the responses of grapevine under a global warming scenario. The study was carried out in the &#8220;Monferrato&#8221; area, a rainfed hillslope vine-growing area of NW Italy. In particular, the onset dates of harvest of different local wine grape varieties grown in the Vezzolano Experimental Farm (CNR-IMAMOTER) and in surrounding vineyards (affiliated to the Terre dei Santi Cellars) were recorded from 1962 to 2019 and then related to historical series of climate data by means of regression analysis. The linear regression was performed based on the averages of maximum and minimum daily temperatures and sum of precipitation (1962&#8211;2019) calculated for growing and ripening season, together with a bioclimatic heat index for vineyards, the Huglin index. The climate data were obtained from two data series collected in the Experimental farm by a mechanical weather station (1962-2002) and a second series recorded (2002-2019) by an electro-mechanical station included in Piedmont Regional Agro-meteorological Network. Finally, a third long-term continuous series covering the period from 1962 to 2019, provided by Italian Meteorological Society was considered in the analysis.</p><p>The results of the study highlighted that inter-annual climate variability, with a general positive trend of temperature, significantly affects the ripening of grapes with a progressive anticipation of the harvest onset dates. In particular, all the considered variables excepted precipitation, resulted negatively correlated with the harvest onset date reaching a high level of significance (up to P< 0.001). Best results have been obtained for maximum temperature and Huglin index, especially by using the most complete dataset. The change ratios obtained using datasets including last 15 years were greater (in absolute terms) than results limited to the period 1962-2002, and also correlations have greater level of significance. The results indicated clearly the relationships between the temperature trend and the gradual anticipation of harvest and the importance of having long and continuous historical weather data series available.</p>

Derived by OpenAIRE algorithms or harvested from 3rd party repositoriesEugenio Cavallo in OpenAIREUnder projected climate changes, runoff and soil erosion processes are likely to become more severe due to the intensification of extreme precipitation events. In consequence of the expected increase of rainfall intensity and erosivity, grass cover is acknowledged as the most effective soil management practice adopted to reduce soil loss by runoff. The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of grass cover (GC) in preventing runoff and soil erosion in sloping vineyards with respect to conventional tillage (CT) and to seasonal pattern. Rainfall, runoff and soil loss from experimental farm of Vezzolano (NW-Italy) were recorded in two different periods. Results confirmed the effectiveness of GC, especially when high erosive events occurred in summer, while soil protective effect considerably decreased in autumn, thus pointing out the need to improve appropriate agronomic strategies to achieve better water and soil protection throughout seasons.
