(Adnkronos) - 99,5% dei campioni residui al di sotto dei limiti di legge in Italia, -14% di vendite di agrofarmaci negli ultimi dieci anni e l’obiettivo di diminuzione delle amissioni di ammoniaca concordato con l’UE raggiunto già nel 2021: sono i risultati del comparto agricolo italiano fotografati dall’Osservatorio Agrofarma nel report presentato a Roma. “Credo che ognuno di noi possa ritrovarsi in un 2023 e 2024 sono stati anni molto particolari dal punto di vista climatico, le piante, come organismi viventi, hanno subito lo stesso impatto che abbiamo subito noi uomini - ha dichiarato Paolo Tassani Presidente di Agrofarma-Federchimica, durante la presentazione del report dell’Osservatorio Agrofarma -. Di conseguenza l’industria si è attivata per mettere a disposizione soluzioni che permettano alle piante di rispondere in maniera adeguata a questi stress esattamente come accade per gli altri organismi viventi”. All’interno dell’Osservatorio sono stati analizzati per la prima volta anche i dati relativi al clima e agli effetti meteorologici che hanno interessato l’Italia negli ultimi decenni. Se dal 1997 in poi le temperature medie in Italia hanno subito un aumento rispetto al periodo precedente, negli ultimi dieci anni lo scostamento si è accentuato. “Quasi raddoppiano i principi attivi negli ultimi dieci anni dei prodotti di tipo biologico – dichiara Enrica Gentile, CEO & Founder Areté Srl, società indipendente di ricerca responsabile scientifica del report –. In realtà all’interno del mercato degli agrofarmaci che è in contrazione, in risposta alla domanda di sostenibilità, abbiamo un aumento dei principi attivi biologici che salgono”.

00:0099.5% of the champions reside below the legal limits in Italy.
00:08Less than 14% of the sales of agro-pharmaceuticals in the last 10 years.
00:12And the target of the reduction of ammonia emissions, agreed with him, reached already in 2021.
00:17These are the results of the Italian agriculture compartment, photographed by the Agrofarma Observatory, in the report presented today in Rome.
00:22I believe that each of us can safely find ourselves in 2023-2024,
00:28which have been very particular years from a climatic point of view.
00:32Plants, as living organisms, have suffered the same impact that we have suffered as humans.
00:38Consequently, the industry has been activated to provide solutions
00:44that allow plants to adequately respond to these stresses,
00:50exactly as it happens for other living organisms.
00:54We will have to get used to the usual change.
01:01Change means adapting to read these events quickly,
01:07therefore using forecasts in an important way,
01:10and adopting mitigation measures, because this is the only way we have available.
01:17These mitigation measures are the use of substances that also perform an anti-stress function,
01:23as I mentioned before, protection from heat, protection from excess or lack of water,
01:30as well as innovation in the development of agro-pharmaceuticals,
01:34because climate change also leads to a change in the panorama of the adversities that affect plants.
01:43For the first time, data on the climate and the meteorological effects
01:47that have affected Italy in the last decades have been analyzed inside the observatory.
01:50Since 1997, the average temperature in Italy has increased compared to the previous period.
01:56In the last ten years, the shift has intensified.
01:59In the last ten years, the active biological principles have almost doubled.
02:04So, in reality, within a market of agro-pharmaceuticals that is in contraction,
02:09naturally also in response to the question of sustainability that is asked of the agricultural sector,
02:15we have the principles used in biological agriculture that have less impact.
02:21It is clear that the weather impacts directly on agriculture
02:25and also on the defense of the products that are distributed in agriculture.
02:30Obviously, the values, the increase in temperatures,
02:36the increase, above all, of very hot days in the last ten years,
02:41constantly above the average of the last thirtieth,
02:45and also the strong variability, let's say, in terms of rain,
02:49between strongly dry years and very rainy years.
02:53Another factor that naturally impacts on the agronomic techniques
02:57and also on the techniques of defense of cultures.
