An empirical model to estimate nutrients concentration in controlled release fertilizers aqueous solutions
(2017)Controlled release fertilizers (CRFs) insure controlled release of nutrients due to their coating. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nutrient solution parameters as well as time on the evolution of ... -
Environmental assessment of precision farming techniques in a pear orchard
(2017)Pears require a substantial number of inputs for satisfactory yield and quality. High inputs increase costs, reducecompetitiveness and induce environmental problems. In thecurrent study the environmental profile of a pear ... -
Environmental friendly poultry production using novel precision livestock techniques
(2015)The present economic situation in poultry production forces producers to focus on improving efficiency in order to increase their competitiveness. Among the important factors in achieving improved efficiency is the provision ... -
Estimation of crop water requirements using remote sensing for operational water resources management
(2015)An integrated modeling system, developed in the framework of "Hydromentor" research project, is applied to evaluate crop water requirements for operational water resources management at Lake Karla watershed, Greece. The ... -
Evaluation and cross-comparison of vegetation indices for crop monitoring from sentinel-2 and worldview-2 images
(2017)Farmers throughout the world are constantly searching for ways to maximize their returns. Remote Sensing applications are designed to provide farmers with timely crop monitoring and production information. Such information ... -
Following the route of veterinary antibiotics tiamulin and tilmicosin from livestock farms to agricultural soils
(2022)Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) are not completely metabolized in the animal body. Hence, when animal excretes are used as soil manures, VA residues are dispersed with potential implications for environmental quality and human ... -
Groundwater nitrate contamination integrated modeling for climate and water resources scenarios: The case of Lake Karla over-exploited aquifer
(2019)Groundwater quantity and quality degradation by agricultural practices is recorded as one of the most critical issues worldwide. This is explained by the fact that groundwater is an important component of the hydrological ... -
Impact of twenty pesticides on soil carbon microbial functions and community composition
(2022)Pesticides are known to affect non-targeted soil microorganisms. Still, studies comparing the effect of multiple pesticides on a wide range of microbial endpoints associated with carbon cycling are scarce. Here, we employed ... -
'Insects as Food and Feed: If You Can't Beat Them, Eat Them!' - To the Magnificent Seven and Beyond
(2021)The objective of this special issue is to highlight the current state of research in the field of insects as food and feed, but also other aspects on the exploitation of insect farming. In this editorial, we make a short ... -
Integrated assessment of the impact of land use types on soil pollution by potentially toxic elements and the associated ecological and human health risk
(2022)The impact of land use type on the content of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the soils of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) and the associated ecological and human health risks has drawn great attention. Consequently, ... -
An integrated multicriteria analysis tool for evaluating water resource management strategies
(2018)Water is involved, directly or indirectly, with many activities and needs that have to be met. The large scale and importance of water projects, the investments needed, the difficulty in predicting the results, and the ... -
Interannual variation of potential heat-stress of sheep in Greece during summer
(2015)It is well known that heat-stress affects significantly physiology, welfare, health, and productivity of ruminants. This paper studied the heat-stress conditions to which sheep were exposed during the summers of a 50-year ... -
Internet of Things in agriculture, recent advances and future challenges
(2017)The increasing demand for food, both in terms of quantity and quality, has raised the need for intensification and industrialisation of the agricultural sector. The “Internet of Things” (IoT) is a highly promising family ... -
Isolation and characterization of soil bacteria able to rapidly degrade the organophosphorus nematicide fosthiazate
(2019)Foshtiazate is an organophosphorus nematicide commonly used in protected crops and potato plantations. It is toxic to mammals, birds and honeybees, it is persistent in certain soils and can be transported to water resources. ... -
”LOVE TO HATE” pesticides: felicity or curse for the soil microbial community? An FP7 IAPP Marie Curie project aiming to establish tools for the assessment of the mechanisms controlling the interactions of pesticides with soil microorganisms
(2016)Pesticides end up in soil where they interact with soil microorganisms in various ways. On the Yin Side of the interaction, pesticides could exert toxicity on soil microorganisms, while on the Yang side of interaction, ... -
Maintaining production while reducing local and global environmental emissions in dairy farming
(2020)While milk is a major agricultural commodity, dairy farming also supports a large share of global beef production. In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies of dairy farming systems, dairy-beef production is often ignored or ... -
Management information system for spatial analysis of tractor- implement draft forces
(2013)With the recent increases in fuel costs, producers are searching for ways to minimize costs and to increase productivity. The ability to monitor and collect data about tractor/implement performance can benefit farm machinery ... -
Management strategies and practices for precision agriculture operations
(2009)This paper presents a holistic farm management system combining formal management strategies, personal management goals and the technology used. The personal management goals have been identified and analysed. Six field ... -
Management zones delineation using fuzzy clustering techniques in vines
(2011)This paper presents the results of applying precision agriculture in a 1 ha commercial vineyard in Greece in 2009 and 2010. A field elevation map was produced using RTK-GPS. Soil electrical conductivity was measured using ... -
Measurements and simulation of microclimatic effects of a horizontal hydroponic pergola
