Interesting question. Apart from the traditional high tensile net wire fences, I know electric fences (a set of steel wires) have been used in Italy to protect vineyards, and that propane cannons are used to scar them away from agricultural fields in Spain, for example. There is also the believe that human hair can be used as a repellent – I have heard this in Portugal many years ago, and it seems to be a widespread method: https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/wild-boars-cant-seem-to-get-out-of-hairy-spot/articleshow/81283364.cms
