El objetivo principal del proyecto ha sido la recogida de datos meteorológicos y edáficos necesarios para conocer el estado hídrico de las plantas en viñedos de las Denominaciones de Origen del Penedés y Costers del Segre como base de trabajo en la adaptación de las técnicas vitícolas a las condiciones provocadas por el cambio climático. Se ha creado una red de seguimiento de la humedad del suelo con la posibilidad de relacionarlas con los datos meteorológicos y de desarrollo de las plantas. La red se basa en la captación de datos continua que recogidos en un entorno digital que permite su análisis y estudio. El objetivo de la creación de esta red es tener datos precisos que sirvan como apoyo a la decisión en la gestión de la plantación. El mantenimiento de la red durante unos años ha de generar históricos útiles para hacer previsiones del comportamiento agronómico de la viña frente diferentes prácticas agrícolas, y por tanto mejorar la capacidad de reacción del viticultor. La red está creada, los buenos resultados van ligados a su continuidad.

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.

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).
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.
