Immersive Exploration of Veneto-Water and Veneto-Carbon Living Labs in the Copparo Area
Cover crop in Copparo (FE) Area. In this OFE, frost-sensitive winter cover crops are being implemented — species that naturally die with winter cold, leaving the soil ready for sowing the cash crop in the following spring. In this photo, the researchers are doing a qualitative and quantitative survey of the weeds present before the…

Immersive Exploration of Water-Carbon-Energy Veneto Living Labs in the Caorle Area
Localized weed control in località Caorle (VE) Area. In this OFE, a technique of localized pre-emergence weed control on the maize row (i.e., applied at the same time as sowing) was implemented, integrated with mechanical control tools (inter-row hoeing).

Immersive Exploration of Veneto-Water and Veneto-Carbon Living Labs in the Borsea Area
Cover crop in the Borsea area. In this farm, a comparative trial of different types of cover crops is being conducted. The first cover crop (Crotalaria–cowpea mix, BUL) was sown by broadcasting immediately before the wheat harvest (mid-June). The second cover (sorghum–crotalaria, SC) was sown at the end of July, while the last cover (oat–vetch–mustard,…

Immersive Tour of the Living Labs of Trentino-Alto Adige
Researchers at the Free University of Bolzano are working with freshly collected soil samples. One researcher is sieving the soil to remove stones and foreign materials, another is packaging the samples into containers and bags for subsequent laboratory analysis, while a third researcher (standing) is supervising the process and continuously collecting soil samples directly from…

Immersive visit to the Veneto-Water Living Lab at the “La Fagiana” farm
La Fagiana: sustainable rice fields between experimentation and tradition. At La Fagiana, a farm near the Venice Lagoon, a drone is applying silicon foliar fertilization to a drip-irrigated rice field. This drone application doesn't compromise the soil structure, while the micro-irrigation saves water compared to traditional flood irrigation. Innovative technologies are employed for efficient resource…
