New technologies for reducing vineyard inputs and increasing viticulture sustainability – InVite
Located in Emilia, the InVite project investigates new technologies for reducing vineyard inputs and increasing viticulture resilience to climate change issues. In northwestern Italy, hillside non-irrigated vineyards are severely exposed to the impacts of drought and warming trends. In this context, the project team will test the efficacy of new water-retaining polymers (hydrogels) in preserving…
