Open Day – Pavia (Italy) – Held on 24th June 2024 at the pilot site in Pavia. Sponsored by the Lombardy Society of Agronomy, the Association of Agronomists & Forest Operators, and the Association of Agro-Technologists. These key stakeholders, necessary to reach in a more effective way the local farmers, were positively impressed by the field performance of orphan legumes. When they randomly picked from the soil plants representative of the different treatment, the impact of seed priming on the root system growth, compared to control samples, was clearly visible. This observation triggered an extremely proactive discussion, particularly concerning the potential of grass pea as a novel cover crop applied to vineyards. An interview, related to the event, was also released by the Coordinator to a local newspaper.
