Environmental sustainability (2021/2022)
The teaching is organized as follows:
Learning outcomes
The student will acquire a specific knowledge related to the environmental sustainability of the wine production chain according to the strategic guidelines defined to international Institutions and national lows.
In particular, students will be able to:
- orient in the Quarantine legislation, phytosanitary and environmental certifications.
- understand and apply advanced methods for identification and monitoring of grapevine pathogens and pest
- - ability to design integrated pest management strategies to improve the environmental sustainability of pest and disease control in grape growing areas
- understand the molecular and advanced aspects concerning grapevine nutrition also in relation to the action of biostimulant products and innovative fertilizers;
- evaluate alternative technologies available for the circular treatment and management of waste and wastewater originated from the production of wine;
- accomplish calculations for the design and verification around the single unit operations of the system.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to actively contribute to projects for environmental sustainability improvement of grape and wine productions.
Program
- Quarantine organisms: advanced diagnostic methods. Phytosanitary certifications.
- Biological and biotechnological tools for the containment of parasites and arthropodes. Functional biodiversity.
- Molecular mechanisms of nutritional transport at the root-rhizosphere interface.
- Nutrition of the vine: effects on the quality and quantity of the productions; sustainable practices and innovative fertilizers; classification, legislation and effects of biostimulant products.

Examination Methods
The exam will consist in an oral colloquium. The exam will assess students’ knowledge of all topics presented during the lectures. The ability to connect knowledge in a systemic and critical way will also be evaluated. The final evaluation is expressed in thirtieths. The overall grade of the exam will be calculated as the weighted average of grades obtained in the in three modules (Integrated Pest Management and Phytosanitary Certification, Sustainable Management of Winery Waste and Wastewater, Advanced Approaches in Sustainable Vine Nutrition).
