A common strategy and action plan to facilitate the implementation of agrivoltaic production models that strengthen the sustainability and survival of small and medium-sized farms
New digital platform designed to facilitate access to, visualization, and sharing
of territorial information associated with the different pilot laboratories of the
project.
The pilot trial analyzes the effect of soil moisture and ground cover management on the intensity of spring frosts in a plum orchard, comparing different management approaches that combine irrigation and vegetation practices. This experimental setup allows for the evaluation of both the individual influence of these factors and their interaction on crop thermal behavior, with the aim of identifying effective practices to reduce frost damage.
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.
