“…In this way we evaluated the efficiency of Italian energy policy, assessing if the PV incentive was reasonable compared to the goal of Second Conto Energia. For this purpose, as well as in other studies [67][68][69], the breakeven point has been calculated, that is, the point where revenues are equal to costs.…”

Abstract:The production of energy from renewable sources is a form of energy production that has less impact on the environment than the traditional one. For the farmer this new form of production represents an opportunity, especially for the economic benefits that can produce, both in terms of the incentives provided by the public operator and for higher revenues, deriving from the sale of energy back to the grid and/or the savings generated by self-consumed energy, that help to increase the farmer's income. In this paper, we analyzed a case study of a farm that has realized a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system on a greenhouse. In particular, firstly the farm profitability has been estimated and subsequently, in order to assess the efficiency of the energy policy adopted by the Second Conto Energia in Italy, the minimum incentive tariff at which the entrepreneur has an economic advantage to realize a PV system has been determined. Results show that PV system relegates to a marginal role the cultivation of agricultural products compared to energy production and that government PV remuneration policies far outweigh the minimum threshold that makes the investment advantageous.

“…El cultivo tiene como uso principal la producción de azúcar y debido a la creciente demanda por combustibles limpios, la remolacha azucarera es considerada como una alternativa viable para elaborar bioetanol (Finkenstadt, 2014). La producción mundial de azúcar (sacarosa) se estima en 158 millones de toneladas, siendo 30% las que provienen de la remolacha, la cual se siembra principalmente en países de Europa y Estados Unidos, y en menor escala en Canadá, Chile y Colombia (Pulkrábek et al, 2012). Los rendimientos de la raíz fresca son de 50 a 60 t ha -1 con un promedio de concentración de azúcar en la raíz de 18.7% y una producción de 9 a 11 t ha -1 de azúcar (FAO, 2016).…”

“…The crop has sugar production as its main use and due to the growing demand for clean fuels, sugar beet is considered to be a viable alternative to make biofuel (Finkenstadt, 2014). The global sugar (sucrose) production is estimated at 158 million tons, with 30% of it from sugar beet, sown primarily in European countries and the United States, and at a lower scale in Canada, Chile and Colombia (Pulkrábek et al, 2012). The fresh beet root yields are 50 to 60 t ha -1 with an average sugar concentration in the root of 18.7% and a production of 9 to 11 t ha -1 of sugar (FAO, 2016).…”

La remolacha azucarera (Beta vulgaris L.) es la segunda fuente de azúcar en el mundo. El área de adaptación se localiza en países del hemisferio norte. En México se han propuesto varios cultivos para obtención de biocombustibles entre los que destaca la remolacha azucarera. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar el potencial productivo de la remolacha azucarera bajo condiciones de riego en el noreste de Tamaulipas; el cual se caracteriza por el monocultivo de sorgo y maíz. La evaluación se hizo durante el ciclo O-I en los años 2010 y 2011 en el Campo Experimental Río Bravo del INIFAP. En nueve variedades comerciales se midió el largo y diámetro máximo de la raíz, producción, distribución de biomasa seca y fresca de raíz, oBrix, rendimiento y producción estimada de azúcar e incidencia de enfermedades. El paquete tecnológico y los costos de producción fueron hechos con adecuaciones a los cultivos predominantes. La presencia de enfermedades fue un riesgo para el cultivo, inducido por la susceptibilidad varietal, cantidad y distribución de la precipitación. Bajo las condiciones de este estudio es posible producir remolacha azucarera en forma comercial hasta 54 t ha1 y 18 oBrix. El costo de la semilla representó la mayor inversión en el paquete tecnológico (38%).

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) is a source of sugars. In Mexico, trials have been carried out to evaluate adaptation of the crop as a potential source of biomass, sugar and ethanol. Fertilization is a factor that influences production. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of inorganic fertilization on yield and production of soluble solids under irrigation conditions. An irrigation field experiment was established on February 25, 2010 and March 3, 2011, in Río Bravo, Tamaulipas (INIFAP-CIRNE). The variety used was EBO-809 Type N (Normalreich: moderately rich in sugar), with 13 doses of (N‑P) from 150-00-00 to 300-200-00, and the control without fertilization. Urea was the source of (N) and triple superphosphate of (P). Fresh weight (Mg ha-1), chlorophyll index (SPAD), soluble solids (oBrix) and incidence of root rot (%) were evaluated. The factor with the highest statistical value was the fertilization dose (T), explaining 70% of the variance 24% the year (A), and there was no interaction (T × A). Root rot was attributable by Rhizoctonia solani (Kühn), which is negatively associated with yield, due to atypical winter rainfall in 2010. There were no differences between treatments with N-P fertilization. The critical value of N was superior to the control and ≤ to 150 kg ha-1. The concentration of sugars was not related to yield, SPAD or R. solani incidence; moreover, it was inversely proportional to the nitrogen dose.
