Horticulture Finalized Organic Carbon Footprint
The Project is intended to realize a carbon footprint monitoring the fruit sector in reference also to the ability of the soil to sequester organic carbon.
• Monitoring of the organic matter in the soil.
• Comparison of analytical methods for the evaluation of the organic matter in order to calculation of carbon sequestration in the soil.
• Evaluation of carbon sequestration in the soil.
• agricultural practices of the carbon footprint rating adopted in horticulture.
• Definition of guidelines aimed at better soil management for maintaining the organic matter and carbon sequestration in orchards.
At least 2 apple selections to release as new varieties.
At least 2 pear selections to release as new varieties.
At least 2 Strawberry selections to release as new varieties.
3-4 superior hybrids, one of which is to be included into the National Register of varieties
Main project benefits/opportunities for the end-user:
Increasing the competitiveness of agricultural companies - The expected results would cause firstly the increase in competitiveness of the farms belonging to the OPs (Apofruit Italia, Apoconerpo and Orogel Fresco) involved in the Operational Group, established for the cultivation of new varieties of apple, pear, strawberry and new hybrids of asparagus.
Decrease in costs of production and increase in productivity. The availability of new apple, pear and strawberry cultivars genetically resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses and suitable for regional cultural areas, could reduce the production costs thanks to the lower amount of chemical treatments as well as the supply of water, fertilizers, thinning, etc .. Similarly, a compact plant growth habit may facilitate pruning and harvesting operations with positive effects on the costs of such operations.
