    Ficha GO CRACKCIREZA: nuevas estrategias para la reducción del cracking en el cultivo de la cereza

    El negocio de la cereza tanto a nivel internacional como nacional es un mercado creciente y estable. En Cataluña se considera un cultivo estratégico debido a que disponemos de las capacidades necesarias para ofrecer un fruto de maduración precoz respecto a otros países, lo que repercute al poder cubrir un nicho de mercado que garantiza importantes exportaciones, sobre todo a países europeos. En un esfuerzo por rentabilizar aún más este cultivo, en los últimos años se ha trabajado en la utilización de nuevo material vegetal, en la búsqueda de mejoras del rendimiento productivo, así como en la reducción de costes de su manejo. Sin embargo, el gran reto del cultivo de la cereza radica en que es altamente perecedero y se ve muy afectado por la gestión de las parcelas y las condiciones ambientales, como el exceso de precipitaciones antes de la cosecha. La rotura inducida por la lluvia (cracking) es la principal causa de pérdida de cosechas de cereza en la mayoría de las zonas de producción del mundo, incluido Cataluña. Las predicciones del cambio climático apuntan a una creciente frecuencia de precipitaciones excesivas que probablemente aumentarán la incidencia de cracking en cerezas. Muy pocas variedades actuales son tolerantes al cracking y los mecanismos implicados no están completamente identificados. Los factores fisiológicos, bioquímicos, ambientales, culturales, anatómicos y genéticos no están claros, incluidas las estrategias de gestión para mitigarlo. Buscar estrategias para reducir el cracking en cereza se considera clave para hacer frente a las producciones de los próximos años

    A Bio-inspired Multilayer Drainage System

    Document

    Agricultural run-off and subsurface drainage tiles transport a significant amount of nitrogen and phosphorus leached after fertilization. alchemia-nova GmbH in collaboration with University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna developed two multi-layer vertical filter systems to address the agricultural run-off issue, which has been installed on the slope of an agricultural field in Mistelbach, Austria. While another multi-layer addressing subsurface drainage water is implemented in Gleisdorf, Austria. The goal is to develop a drainage filter system to retain water and nutrients. Both multi-layer filter systems contain biochar and other substrates with adsorption properties of nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus). The filter system can be of practical use if an excess of nutrients being washed out is of concern in the fields of the practitioner by keeping the surrounding waters clean. This approach may result in economic value by re-using the saturated biochar as fertilizer and improving the soil structure, thus increasing long-term soil fertility.

    NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY

    Document

    This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No 858735. FACTSHEET NANOCELLULOSE MEMBRANES FOR NUTRIENT RECOVERY Key information Functionalized nanocellulose membranes can take up nitrate and phosphate. These membranes can be put in a water treatment unit. As the membranes are biobased, degradable materials, they can after use be added to the soil, thus returning the leached nutrients back for their original purpose providing fertilizers (nutrient recycling).

    Environmental monitoring within greenhouse crops using wireless sensors

    Document

    Because variables such as temperature and humidity have a profound effect on the activity of crop pests, diseases and natural enemies, the ability to monitor environmental conditions within a crop has always been important for crop protection.
