The phenomenon known as “dimming” or shading, caused by the increase in aerosols, air pollutants, and population density, is reducing global radiation, including both direct solar radiation scattered atmosphere. This poses a significant challenge for agricultural production many regions worldwide, with decrease estimated between 1.4% 2.7% per decade areas 25° N 45° N. In particular, Mediterranean regions, of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. Durum) increasingly constrained abiotic factors, such spring/summer heat stress drought, well reductions radiation. Field experiments were conducted Mosciano Sant’Angelo, Italy, over two cropping seasons (2016–2017 2017–2018) to evaluate effects photosynthetically active (PAR) availability nitrogen (N) fertilization on wheat. A split-plot design was used PAR levels (100% 20% PAR) three rates (0, 100, 250 kg ha−1). Results highlighted that full sunlight (NoSh) significantly increased grain yield (+25%), thousand kernel weight (+46%), total gluten fractions (+16%) compared shaded conditions (Sh). Chlorophyll content NDVI values highest under Sh combined ha−1. Rainfall patterns strongly influenced productivity, better vegetative growth 2016–2017 improved filling 2017–2018. Nitrogen application enhanced protein content, particularly arid conditions. These findings emphasize interaction light management, suggesting optimizing these factors can improve quality

This review article focuses on agrivoltaic production systems (AV). The transition towards renewable energy sources, driven by the need to respond climate change, competition for land use, and scarcity of fossil fuels, has led consideration new ways optimise use while producing clean energy. AV not only generate but also allow agricultural livestock yields be maintained or even increased under PV structures, offering a sustainable strategy that may more acceptable local communities than traditional installations. assesses technical feasibility systems, environmental, economic social benefits, as well challenges faced legal framework regulating their implementation. It is highlighted despite advantages in efficiency dual food production, there are important related initial investment required, technological adaptation, regulatory obstacles, effects shading production. paper underlines importance further research development these overcome constraints maximise potential benefits. concluded although they present significant challenges, management offers promising opportunities improve contribute several goals.

In the context of climate change and increasing demand for innovative solutions in agriculture energy, agrivoltaic systems (AVSs) have emerged as promising technologies. These integrate photovoltaic panels with agricultural practices, optimizing both food energy production. This study provides a comprehensive review focused on monitoring techniques applicable to AVS, including fixed sensors remote tools. Bibliographic analysis revealed significant increase scientific interest AVSs since 2019, most publications focusing technological, agronomic, environmental aspects. Key findings highlight benefits such reduced greenhouse gas emissions, improved water efficiency, enhanced soil quality. Otherwise, challenges high initial costs persistence technical complexities. Innovative configurations semi-transparent or vertically bifacial enable resource optimization yields if combined advanced systems. highlights importance incentive policies further research maximize potential promoting sustainable land management.
