Objectives

The objective of the proposed Plan consists in identifying - in relation to the irrigation supplies at the territorial level (irrigation systems, amount of supplies, quality of irrigation water, characteristics of the groundwater, etc.), the plant systems adopted (rootstock, planting density, training system, etc.) and to the climatic changes in progress - what factors are responsible and how they interact with each other, for the degeneration of numerous pear plants located in a large area of the regional territory; all this in order to deepen the knowledge on this serious and complex phenomenon and to provide the technicians and farmers concerned with specific guidelines to counter its spread.

Objectives

L’obiettivo consiste nell’individuare - in relazione agli apporti irrigui a livello territoriale (sistemi irrigui, entità degli apporti, qualità delle acque d’irrigazione, caratteristiche della falda freatica, ecc.), ai sistemi d’impianto adottati (portinnesto, densità d’impianto, forma di allevamento, ecc.) e ai cambiamenti climatici - i fattori responsabili e come essi interagiscono tra loro, della degenerazione di numerosi impianti di pero situati in una vasta area del territorio regionale; tutto ciò al fine approfondire le conoscenze su questo grave e complesso fenomeno e fornire ai tecnici e agricoltori interessati, apposite linee guida per contrastarne la diffusione.

Activities

In several farms specialized in the cultivation of pear trees, there are widespread and extensive phenomena of plant deterioration, not attributable to a specific pathogen. One of the most accredited hypotheses calls into question the climatic changes, which have induced many farms to carry out irrigation surpluses, even in unsuitable lands and agronomic and productive situations, causing suffering phenomena of some cultivars (Abate Fetel in primis) . The proposed Plan intends to investigate the phenomenon by considering the rationalization of irrigation contributions, also on a consortium and territorial scale, as central element of the problem.

Activities

In diverse aziende agricole specializzate nella coltivazione del pero si assiste a diffusi ed estesi fenomeni di deperimento delle piante, non attribuibili a uno specifico patogeno. Una delle ipotesi più accreditate chiama in causa i mutamenti climatici, i quali hanno indotto molte aziende agricole a effettuare surplus d’irrigazione, anche in terreni e situazioni agronomiche e produttive non adatte, determinando fenomeni di sofferenza di alcune cultivar (Abate Fetel in primis). Il Piano proposto intende indagare il fenomeno considerando la razionalizzazione degli apporti irrigui, anche su scala consortile e territoriale, come elemento centrale del problema.
