La crescita della popolazione mondiale, il cambiamento climatico, gli eventi atmosferici sempre più imprevedibili ed estremi, rappresentano le principali sfide che l’agricoltura del presente e del futuro dovrà affrontare per garantire un approvvigionamento di cibo equo, salubre e sostenibile su scala globale. In questo contesto, l'adozione di tecniche agricole innovative diventa fondamentale per affrontare tali sfide in modo efficace. Il presente elaborato analizza l'applicazione di un sistema acquaponico per la coltivazione e l’allevamento contemporaneo di piante e pesci, con l'obiettivo di valutare l'efficacia e la sostenibilità di questa tecnica nella produzione vegetale in termini qualitativi e produttivi. In particolare, l'esperimento ha riguardato due colture orticole di rilevante interesse commerciale, ovvero basilico e bietola da costa, le quali sono state coltivate in successione all'interno di 9 sistemi acquaponici distinti, esaminando l’effetto dell’allevamento di tre differenti densità di persico trota. L'esperimento è stato condotto all’interno di una serra tunnel nel periodo estivo e autunnale in cui, durante il ciclo di coltivazione, sono stati fatti dei rilievi sullo stato nutrizionale delle piante e a fine ciclo rilievi distruttivi relativi a parametri di resa e qualità.

Abstract
The growth of the world’s population, climate change and increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather events are the main challenges that present and future agriculture will have to face in order to ensure a fair supply of food, Healthy and sustainable on a global scale. In this context, the adoption of innovative agricultural techniques becomes crucial to address these challenges effectively. This paper analyses the application of an aquaponic system for the cultivation and breeding of plants and fish, with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness and sustainability of this technique in plant production in qualitative and productive terms. In particular, the experiment concerned two horticultural crops of significant commercial interest, namely basil and beets, which were cultivated successively within 9 distinct aquaponics systems, Examining the effect of breeding three different densities of largemouth bass. The experiment was conducted in a tunnel greenhouse during the summer and autumn period, when measurements were made on the nutritional status of plants during the growing cycle and destructive measurements related to yield and quality parameters at the end of the cycle.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
