Phenological observation and modeling of wheat, barley, sorghum and maize: 2003-2013

Agro-phenological observation and modeling of cereals in Padana Plain in the period 2003-2012

The aim of this paper is to study the relation between thermal resources and phenological development in the agrophenological station of Cadriano (Bologna) on winter wheat, barley, maize and sorghum. This was achieved a) analysing eleven years (2003-2012) of phenological observations, expressed using the BBCH scale, and b) developing a thermal model based on Normal Heat Hours for phenological development of the four crops in Cadriano. Once the thermal model was calibrated it was used to evaluate the variability of thermal resources on a long time series (1984- 2013) recorded in the same site. The statistical analysis on the observed phenological data shows high stability, apart from the first stages, until the tillering of the winter crops. The phenologica...

Changes in thermal resources and limitations for Georgian viticulture

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of climate change on thermal resources and limitations in the context of Georgia, one of the oldest viticultural areas in the world. Methods and Results: The analysis on daily series of temperature for the time period 1974-2013 for the main viticultural areas of Georgia shows that an abrupt change to warmer temperature occurred in 1994, leading to a decline in low temperature stress and an increase in high temperature stress, associated with more frequent heat waves. The availability of thermal resources for grapevine growth remained unchanged. Conclusions: In Georgia, the shift to warmer temperature did not affect the availability of thermal resources for grapegrowing. Although some attention should be paid to possible damage due to an earlier budburst and increased frost risk. Furthermore, it is important to highlight the strong increase of summer heatwaves with potential negative impacts on grape composition and phenolic maturity, when combined with severe water stress. Significance of the Study: Quantitative studies of the effects of climate change on Georgian viticulture are essential to develop adaptation strategies based on either germplasm (e.g. rootstocks and cultivars) and agronomical practices (e.g. pruning, trellis systems, soil and water management).

Climate Change Impacts on Plant Phenology: Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) Bud Break in Wintertime in Southern Italy

In January 2020, a bud break was observed in an old poly-varietal vineyard. Meteorological data elaboration of the 1951–2020 period confirmed the general climatic warming of the area and highlighted the particular high temperatures of the last winter. Phenological records appeared to be significantly correlated to wood hydration and starch reserve consumption, demonstrating a systemic response of the plant to the warm conditions. The eight cultivars, identified by single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiles and ampelographic description, grown in this vineyard showed different behaviors. Among them, the neglected Sprino, Baresana, Bianco Palmento, and Uva Gerusalemme, as well as the interspecific hybrid Seyve Villard 12.375, appeared to be the most interesting. Among the adaptation strategies to climate changes, the cultivar selection should...

An indirect estimation of evapotranspiration has been carried out by means of micrometeorological algo- rithm of Penman -Monteith. Data produced by the ML has been compared with Penman-Monteith equation. Advantages and limits of the ML approach were evidenced. Riassunto I Mini-Lisimetri (ML) installati presso un'azienda agricola dell'Universita degli Studi di Milano forniscono la misura di- retta dell'evapotraspirazione da coltura di riferimento. Una stima indiretta di evapotraspirazione e stata condotta con l'utilizzo dell'equazione di Penman-Monteith. I dati prodotti dai ML sono stati messi a confronto con l'equazione di Pen- man-Monteith. Vantaggi e svantaggi dei ML sono infine stati messi in evidenza. Parole chiave: Mini-Lisimetri , evapotraspirazione, micrometeorologia

Temporal dynamics of Scaphoideus titanus populations: from annual occurrence patterns to changing climate suitability assessments

The model was parameterized with laboratory and field data. Built on population theory principles and driven by daily temperature maxima and minima and grapevine plant phenology it satisfactorily represents annual and multiannual occupancy patterns and hence, is concluded to have satisfactory predictive and explanatory capabilities. The simulations representing canopy occupancy by non-diapausing eggs, nymphs and emerging adults are particularly useful for tactical purposes including the timing of monitoring operations and insecticide applications. The simulations representing canopy occupancies by diapausing eggs, non-diapausing eggs, nymphs and adults are useful for strategic purpose...

More specifically, phenological models are useful to drive the technical choices of farmers and thus are relevant tools for agro-meteorologists and technical assistants. This work describes the activities performed by the agrometeorological center of the Liguria Region (CAAR) in the context of the research project PROTERINA C.

Un rilevante obiettivo accessorio di tale attività è quello di introdurre presso il Centro Meteo di Teolo delle procedure standard di qualità, che riguardano tutta la “vita” di un dato meteo-climatico dalla sua acquisizione alla sua elaborazione finale. Una volta conclusa l’attività sulle temperature l’approccio potrà essere esteso alle serie di precipitazione relative ai dei due periodi di riferimento (1955-2004 e 1993-2008), che ad oggi risultano già raccolte e pronte per essere sottoposte alle analisi descritte in precedenza
