Report to estimate the potential yield loss and associated direct and indirect economic impact

This deliverable reports direct and indirect economic impacts associated with Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) in European olives and Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CaLsol) in European carrots. For Xf, we simulated the potential future spread beyond the current extent based on climatic suitability modelling and an assumption of radial range expansion and logistic growth. For the direct impacts, the economic model computes impact by accounting for discounted foregone profits and losses in investment on the olive farm level. For the indirect impacts, a partial equilibrium model was defined on the European olive oil market to estimate changes to consumer and producer welfare from the reduction in supply and the associated increase in price. For CaLsol, a partial budgeting model was developed, and a questionnaire distributed. The questionnaire aimed at gathering crucial information that is absent from the scientific literature. However, responses to the questionnaire are lacking. In turn, no European-wide modelling efforts could be undertaken. The report summarizes the insights obtained from the literature and informal feedback from the experts.

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.
