“…Thus, biotransformation of biomass energy into biogas by methane fermentation allows comprehensively solving a number of important tasks -energy, social, agrochemical, and environmental (Channarayappa et al, 2018;Yoshizaki et al, 2013). An important component of the efficiency of biogas technology is the existence, along with direct effects (obtaining biogas and high-quality fertilisers), of a number of indirect effects, the significance of which is based on both economic indicators and national priorities.…”

For modern Ukraine and European countries, the issues of soil restoration after intensive cultivation and reducing the cost of agricultural products by including energy from alternative sources in the energy supply of technological processes are relevant. Therefore, considerable attention is paid to the development of biogas technologies and the production of organic waste. The purpose of the study is to improve the efficiency of the manure processing system with subsequent production of biogas and compost by consistently implementing anaerobic and aerobic fermentation technologies. Economically feasible ways of using organic animal waste are presented. It is proved that the introduction of biogas technologies is economically feasible only in the conditions of functioning of closed systems for the production of crop and livestock products. The most effective combination was the consistent implementation of anaerobic digestion technology and accelerated biothermal composting. Anaerobic methane fermentation, in contrast to the process of composting bio-raw materials, allows more than 55% of carbon to be disposed of in the form of high-calorie methane gas, due to which nitrogen losses are reduced from 20-25% to 1.5-3%. Analytical studies show that as a result of processing 1 tonne of cattle manure, 23.22 g3 of biogas with an energy equivalent of 510 MJ can be obtained. It is also shown that by making changes made by accelerated biothermal composting energy costs for the production of an equivalent (according to NPK) amount of mineral fertilisers are reduced by 895 MJ. However, it should be borne in mind that in the conditions of construction and maintenance of a biogas system, the high start-up and operating costs leads to the use of accelerated biothermal composting technology at the first stage of processing bio-raw materials. The results obtained can be used as the basis for a modern methodology for calculating the expediency of application of a particular technology depending on the operating conditions of the agricultural enterprise and the technological task regarding the volume of production of finished products. This would allow determining the rational parameters of the bioenergy system and increase the energy and ecological efficiency of biogas and high-quality compost production processes from organic raw materials

“…In order to take advantage of its insecticidal and nematicidal activity, practical experience has suggested dosages of 1-2 t/ha. In organic farming, neem cake is also very useful in pre-sowing and pre-planting, where its efficacy in the prevention of nutritional imbalances by avoiding the accumulation of nitrates in plant tissues has been proven [89]. Neem cake also has important effects on soil microbiome communities, increasing microbial population, and on soil carbon sequestration [78].…”

Fertilizers stand at the base of current agricultural practices, providing the nutrient sustainment required for growing plants. Most fertilizers are synthetic chemicals, whose exploitation at very high levels poses a risk to cultivated land and the whole environment. They have several drawbacks including soil degradation, water pollution, and human food safety. Currently, the urgent need to counterbalance these negative environmental impacts has opened the way for the use of natural and renewable products that may help to restore soil structure, microorganism communities, nutrient elements, and, in some cases, to positively enhance carbon soil sequestration. Here, we endeavor to reinforce the vision that effective strategies designed to mitigate negative anthropic and climate change impacts should combine, in appropriate proportions, solutions addressed to a lower and less energy intensive production of chemicals and to a more inclusive exploitation of renewable natural products as biological soil amendments. After drawing an overview of the agricultural energy demand and consumption of fertilizers in Europe in the last few years (with a particular focus on Italy), this narrative review will deal with the current and prospective use of compost, biochar, and neem cake, which are suitable natural products with well-known potential and still-to-be-discovered features, to benefit sustainable agriculture and be adopted as circular economic solutions.

“…Phytomonitoring is a management information system for crop growing and has three main functions: generate a customized sets of measured values and their derivatives used by a grower in daily control productive, early detection of unexpected disorders in plants and decision support-system. 2 This system include the moisture measurements and the development of an intelligent control system, in order to maintain the moisture level around level set, such as water stress or field capacity, according to the desired enological grape quality, in addition helps to overcome difficulties imposed by a growing water demand. 3 The use of physiological parameters to asses the dynamics of plant water status has attracted the attention of many growers.…”

The phytomonitoring is a technology that provides information in real time of crop water status and allow to make a feedback between crop and grower to improve the irrigation control. The aim of this investigation was to asses the plant water status and your effect on yield and quality parameter in a commercial vineyard under drip irrigation in an Ultic Palexeralf soil during the 2008-2009 growing season at Central Southern of the Ñuble Region, Itata Valley, Chile. The experimental design was split-plot with three treatments of soil texture: clayey loam, sandy clay and clayey, and three sub-treatments of 'Cabernet Sauvignon', 'Merlot' and 'Syrah' cultivars. Stomatal conductance, leaf-air temperature, cluster weight, berry diameter, berry weight, and soluble solids content were evaluated. The results showed that the phytomonitoring is useful to evaluate the irrigation management in vineyards. Stomatal conductance and leaf-air temperature showed good performance as indicators of vine water status and grapevine quality. This study highlight the effect of soil texture on yield and wine quality in grapevines of semi-arid zones with drip irrigation.
