peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1under-vine Explanation: I think the text is about winery, so under-vine would be a more precise translation of "sottofila", the full machine name would be something like "under-vine rotary harrow" |

peer agreement (net): +1bottom of the row Explanation: "The soil's operations consist of: weeding in between the vines' rows that is necessary to reduce root competion, free from the infesting plants and avoid an excessive stagnation of moisture which would increase the risks of damages due to cold weather; finally, well underneath, the ***bottom of the row*** is cleared from weeds and the terrain between the rows themselves is leveled. http://www.futurewine.it/clima.htm?lang=en&idnews=301 Le operazioni al terreno consistono nel: diserbo tra il filari necessario a limitare la competizione radicale, liberare dalle piante infestanti ed evitare un accumulo di umidità che aumenterebbe i rischi di danni causati dal freddo; infine si diserba il sottofila e si livella il terreno tra il filari stessi. http://www.futurewine.it/clima.htm?lang=it&idnews=301 Gli erpici sono di vario tipo. Il Marolli ne riconosce diversi ma non quello rotante che mi par di capire possa essere quello a dischi. G. Marolli, Diz. tecnico IT>ENG / ENG>IT érpice 1 (macch. agric.), harrow, spike-tooth harrow. 2 erpice a catena (macch. agric.), chain harrow. 3 erpice a coltelli (macch. agric.), knife harrow. 4 erpice a denti fissi (macch. agric.), pegtooth harrow. 5 erpice a denti flessibili (macch. agric.), spring-tooth harrow. 6 erpice a dischi (macch. agric.), disk harrow. 7 erpice a lame (macch. agric.), blade harrow. 8 erpice da semina (macch. agric.), seed harrow. 9 erpice diagonale (macch. agric.), diamond harrow. 10 erpice frangizolle (macch. agric.), pulverizer, pulverizer harrow -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2006-10-20 15:20:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Questa traduzione mi sembra più accurata ***SOTTOFILA *** = ***UNDER-THE-VINE STRIPS*** In senso lato, occorre poi considerare che un qualsiasi cambiamento di tecnica colturale può influenzare il bilancio idrico di un impianto; ad esempio, un ***sottofila*** sottoposto a diserbo, pur eliminando la competizione delle infestanti, favorisce una risalita in superficie delle radici che, fatalmente, potranno soffrire in modo più accentuato di fenomeni di stress idrico. Interessante è, infine, il caso costituito dalle tecniche di potatura meccanica o "minima" le quali determinando, quasi invariabilmente, un aumento della precocità di formazione e della dimensione delle chiome, implicano anche consumi idrici più elevati. " Likewise, other techniques may have a deep impact on vine water use. ***Under-the-vine strips*** treated with herbicides induce a shallower root system which can become more sensitive to water stress; so, too, mechanical and minimal pruning, by inducing faster canopy formation and higher vegetative capacity, are more demanding in terms of water use. A recent paper by Schmid and Schultz (2000) comparing the seasonal water use (130 d time spam) of conventionally (Sylvoz) pruned and minimally pruned grapevines in the field have reported figures of 282 and 372 liters/vine, respectively. http://www.ricercaitaliana.it/prin/dettaglio_completo_prin_e... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-10-20 15:36:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nel glossario di Giles Watson sono inserite varie voci al riguardo ma si riferiscono non al ***SOTTOFILA*** ma ad ***INTERFILARE***. Ci vorrebbe Giles in persona per risolvere la questione. Comunque ho visto che SOTTOFILA in inglese può anche essere reso con UNDER ROW See "zappa rotativa interfilare" = ***INTER ROW ROTARY CULTIVATOR*** www.watson.it |
