Presso la cooperativa Terre Ioniche per la produzione conservativa di ce-
reali e leguminose è stato utilizzato un coltivatore idropneumatico equi-

TheTerra Ioniche Cooperative, producing conservation cereals and legumes, used a hy-
dro-pneumatic cultivator equipped with twist tools capable of not only creating vertical
holes in the soil but also burying appreciable amounts of the biomass on the surface. It
was decided to follow this operation with a disc harrow for a rough preparation of the
seedbed.Seedingwasperformedwitha seeddrill for planting inparallel furrowsequipped

or contained stones.Also in this case, ahead of planting a false seeding techniquewas
applied using a tine harrow. For themanagement of organic fennel, the soil was refined
moreand thengiven raised seedbeds. False seedingwasalsousedon “slut” terrainwith
a tine harrow followed by transplanting with a three-row transplanter. Post-emergence
was performedwith a precisionweeder equippedwith a drop fertilizer spreader for fer-
tilization of the cover.
