Treatment performances of floating wetlands: A decade of studies in North Italy.
The study assessed the treatment performances of 8 different floating treatment wetlands highlighting that they were able to reduce nitrogen loads, chemical oxygen demand and water turbidity. I sistemi flottanti…
No-tillage effects on soil CH4 fluxes: A meta-analysis.
No-tillage (NT) is a widely promoted conservation practice able to offset agriculture-driven greenhouse gases. NT decreases CH4 emissions from paddy fields (-23 %) but it has no effect in other…
Smart fertilizers: What should we mean and where should we go?
Smart fertilizers match the biggest tasks for modern agriculture production about improving the agronomic efficiency of fertilizers while reducing their cost and environmental impact. La ricerca sugli ‘smart fertilizer’ racchiude…
Integrated weed management: Tools and strategies in a world of pesticide restriction.
Sustainable weed management must integrate several agronomic practices (e.g. cover crops, mulching) to manage weeds in a contest of increased herbicides resistance and climate change. Una gestione sostenibile della flora…
Soil indicators for comparing medium-term organic and conventional agricultural systems.
The study investigated possible soil variables as soil health indicators showing that biological (AOA and nosZ) and chemical (P, TKN, and pH) variables can be used for this scope. Lo…
