2001
Guccione, G. (University of Palermo (Italy). Fac. of Agriculture) | Schifani, G.
This research deals with aspects of mechanisation, through the analysis of two conservative techniques, sod seeding and minimum tillage (recently introduced in the Sicilian agricultural context), which are a fine example of innovation with low environmental impact. The first chapter of this research document looks at mechanisation as a technological innovation, focusing attention on the relationship between the innovation process (new technologies) and the development of sustainable agriculture. The second chapter of this research is based on illustration of results of some representative farms and deals with the effects that the use of these techniques may have on the organisation of the farms agricultural activities and the economic advantages of their use. We have briefly examined effects on soil, the main technical limitations and economic implications
