The pilot trial analyzes the effect of soil moisture on the intensity of spring frosts in a kiwi orchard, comparing conditions with and without prior irrigation. This approach makes it possible to assess the role of soil water in the thermal behavior of the crop and to identify effective practices to reduce frost damage.
The pilot trial analyzes the effect of soil moisture and ground cover management on the intensity of spring frost in a cherry orchard, comparing different irrigation and soil management conditions. This approach makes it possible to assess how these factors influence the thermal behavior of the crop and to identify effective practices to reduce frost damage.
The pilot trial analyzes the effect of soil moisture and ground cover management on the intensity of spring frost in an apple orchard, comparing different management approaches. This setup makes it possible to assess both the individual influence of these factors and their interaction, supported by a monitoring system of climatic and soil conditions. The aim is to identify effective practices to reduce frost damage.
The pilot trial analyzes the effect of soil moisture on the intensity of frost in an apricot orchard, comparing two management strategies: wet soil through prior irrigation and dry soil without irrigation. A monitoring system is used to accurately assess the thermal behavior of the crop and identify effective practices to reduce frost damage.
The pilot trial carried out in Bragança evaluates innovative strategies to reduce frost damage in fruit crops, focusing on cover crops and biostimulants. Using sensors and drones, it aims to generate knowledge and promote sustainable solutions to improve agricultural resilience to climate change.
The pilot trial developed in Lleida (Mollerussa and Gimenells) evaluates micro-sprinkler systems for frost protection in fruit crops. Different technologies are compared under real field conditions to improve their design, management and efficiency. The actions include the installation of irrigation infrastructure, automation and monitoring systems, with the aim of reducing losses, optimizing water use and supporting the adaptation of the agricultural sector to climate change.
This is a pilot project under the An-Gel programme that evaluates a high-precision microsprinkler system to protect vineyards against spring frosts in Viseu (Portugal). The solution consists of spraying water to maintain plant temperature and prevent damage, offering an efficient, sustainable, and low-energy alternative to reduce agricultural losses.
The European HITTS project, funded by the Interreg Sudoe programme, has presented a new “Toolkit for Private Sector Participation in Cultural Heritage Projects”, a practical guide designed to strengthen public-private collaboration in rural areas. The document offers tools and examples to encourage the involvement of companies and local stakeholders in cultural heritage initiatives, promoting sustainable development and territorial cohesion across the SUDOE area.
The European HITTS project, funded by Interreg Sudoe, has developed a common strategy to promote the sustainable development of rural areas in the SUDOE region through cultural heritage, public-private collaboration, and sustainable tourism.
Digitalizing water management in irrigation is no longer a future option, but a necessity for managing a resource that is increasingly scarce. This Smart Green Water project report stresses that technology is only useful if it adapts to the reality of those working in the field and within irrigation communities. In this sense, the key is not to collect more data, but to turn it into practical and understandable decisions.
