This thesis delves into the management of inter-row areas in an organic vineyard. Among soil management techniques, cover cropping and sodding (or permanent cover cropping) are particularly prominent. Sodding, which involves maintaining a grass sward between the rows, contributes to protecting the soil from erosion, improving soil structure, and promoting biodiversity. Cover cropping, on the other hand, consists of sowing specific plants, typically legumes, which are then incorporated into the soil to enrich it with organic matter and nitrogen. Both practices present advantages and disadvantages, such as water competition and the need for careful management. Climate change is severely challenging viticulture, with extreme events such as intense rainfall and prolonged drought. These conditions can cause soil damage, nutrient loss, and alterations in grape quality. In this context, practices such as sodding can help mitigate the negative effects of climate change by improving the resilience of vineyards.
Il presente lavoro di tesi approfondisce gli aspetti della gestione dell’interfila in un vigneto biologico. Tra le tecniche di gestione del suolo, emergono in particolare l'inerbimento e il sovescio. L'inerbimento, consistente nel mantenere un cotico erboso tra i filari. Esso contribuisce a proteggere il suolo dall'erosione, migliorare la sua struttura e favorire la biodiversità. Il sovescio, invece, consiste nella semina di specifiche piante, solitamente leguminose, che vengono poi interrate per arricchire il terreno di sostanza organica e azoto. Entrambe le pratiche presentano vantaggi e svantaggi, come la competizione idrica e la necessità di una gestione accurata. Il cambiamento climatico sta mettendo a dura prova la viticoltura, con eventi estremi come piogge intense e siccità prolungata. Queste condizioni possono causare danni al suolo, perdita di nutrienti e alterazioni nella qualità delle uve. In questo contesto, pratiche come l'inerbimento, possono contribuire a mitigare gli effetti negativi dei cambiamenti climatici, migliorando la resilienza dei vigneti.

Abstract
This thesis delves into the management of inter-row areas in an organic vineyard. Among soil management techniques, cover cropping and sodding (or permanent cover cropping) are particularly prominent. Sodding, which involves maintaining a grass sward between the rows, contributes to protecting the soil from erosion, improving soil structure, and promoting biodiversity. Cover cropping, on the other hand, consists of sowing specific plants, typically legumes, which are then incorporated into the soil to enrich it with organic matter and nitrogen. Both practices present advantages and disadvantages, such as water competition and the need for careful management. Climate change is severely challenging viticulture, with extreme events such as intense rainfall and prolonged drought. These conditions can cause soil damage, nutrient loss, and alterations in grape quality. In this context, practices such as sodding can help mitigate the negative effects of climate change by improving the resilience of vineyards.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
