Abstract Performance analyses of mechanised vineyard activities require a reliable source information that allows proper sizing the tractor fleet according to field requirements and an assessment operating costs generated by them. To achieve that, however, large amount data regarding power required machinery their capacity, together with fuel consumption per hour hectare, is needed. This research, based on CAN-bus raw collected from narrow tractors 75 kW through farming management system...
Obstacle avoidance is a key aspect for any autonomous vehicles, and their usage in agriculture must overcome additional challenges such as handling interactions with agricultural workers other tractors order to avoid severe accidents. The simultaneous presence of vehicles on foot definitely calls safer designs, vehicle management systems major developments personal protective equipment (PPE). To cope these present future challenges, the “SMARTGRID” project described this paper deploys an...
Although peri-urban landscapes in Southern Europe still preserve a relatively high level of biodiversity relict natural places, urban expansion is progressively consuming agricultural land and, some cases, forest cover. This phenomenon has (direct and indirect) environmental implications, both positive negative. The present study contributes to clarifying the intrinsic nexus between long-term dynamics representative Mediterranean city based on diachronic land-use maps. We discuss...
Tillage and harvesting operations of perennial forage crops have problems with soil compaction. The effects this phenomenon are deterioration reduced crop performance yield. This study aims to assess disturbance by measuring the level compaction caused Phalaris arundinacea L. P. is a species that lends itself biomass production phytoremediation contaminated soils; it adapts difficult conditions, outperforming other in terms ease planting, cost, maturity time, yield, contamination levels. was...
To investigate this strategy, 15 field scale trials were implemented in five countries [1].  These have evaluated the performance of Phalaris, Miscanthus, 2 x Saccharum and Pennisetum species for combined energy crop production, phyto-remediation or phyto-management contaminated land Brazil Europe.  Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) is a native perennial rhizomatous C3 suitable non-agricultural marginal lands climatic zones such as Scotland (where C4 Miscanthus...
Energy production is one of the main challenges that continues to unsettle nations. The cultivation plant species as biomass for energy purposes an option but raises issue taking land away from food production. A solution this controversy has been identified by exploiting those soils cannot be used production, namely contaminated soils. present study focuses on evaluation productivity Phalaris arundinacea (Reed Canary Grass) in three different fields Central Italy, which potentially toxic...
Available data indicates 2.8 million potentially contaminated sites, just across the EU-28. While 650,000 sites have been registered, only 1 in 10 so far remediated[1]. The management cost of European is estimated at €6 billion annually[2]. main types contaminants are toxic elements (including heavy metals). Similarly, a 2014 Government study China found 16.1% all soil and 19.4% arable land showed contamination, with Cd, Ni As being pollutants[3]. Meanwhile, global challenge...
Harvesting operations of perennial forage crops can lead to soil compaction problems, which in turn poorer structure, increased erosion, and reduced organic matter. The present study focuses on the evaluation caused by harvesting Phalaris arundinacea (Reed Canary Grass) measuring penetration resistance two different areas farm University Tuscia. measurements were carried out consecutive years following biomass operations. These field trials are part H2020 project CERESiS (ContaminatEd land...
