• Aerogation: Crop root-zone aeration through subsurface drip irrigation system 

      Vyrlas, P.; Sakellariou-Makrantonaki, M.; Kalfountzos, D. (2014)
      Subsurface drip irrigation as a source that provides the water directly to the root zone develops a saturated wetted front in the rhizosphere, particularly when the irrigation is close to 100% of evapotranspiration. Long ...
    • Cereal yield gaps across Europe 

      Schils R., Olesen J.E., Kersebaum K.-C., Rijk B., Oberforster M., Kalyada V., Khitrykau M., Gobin A., Kirchev H., Manolova V., Manolov I., Trnka M., Hlavinka P., Paluoso T., Peltonen-Sainio P., Jauhiainen L., Lorgeou J., Marrou H., Danalatos N., Archontoulis S., Fodor N., Spink J., Roggero P.P., Bassu S., Pulina A., Seehusen T., Uhlen A.K., Żyłowska K., Nieróbca A., Kozyra J., Silva J.V., Maçãs B.M., Coutinho J., Ion V., Takáč J., Mínguez M.I., Eckersten H., Levy L., Herrera J.M., Hiltbrunner J., Kryvobok O., Kryvoshein O., Sylvester-Bradley R., Kindred D., Topp C.F.E., Boogaard H., de Groot H., Lesschen J.P., van Bussel L., Wolf J., Zijlstra M., van Loon M.P., van Ittersum M.K. (2018)
      Europe accounts for around 20% of the global cereal production and is a net exporter of ca. 15% of that production. Increasing global demand for cereals justifies questions as to where and by how much Europe's production ...
    • Exploiting pre- and post-harvest metabolism in sweet sorghum genotypes to promote sustainable bioenergy production 

      Vlachos C.E., Pavli O.I., Flemetakis E., Skaracis G.N. (2020)
      Sweet sorghum's high yielding ability, low-input demands and tolerance to stresses, render it highly suitable for syrup and bioenergy production. Exploiting its biomass, however is hampered by the seasonality of its ...
    • Nutrient solution composition and growing season affect yield and chemical composition of Cichorium spinosum plants 

      Petropoulos S., Fernandes Â., Karkanis A., Antoniadis V., Barros L., Ferreira I.C.F.R. (2018)
      Nitrogen fertilizer form may affect quality and yield of leafy vegetables. In the present study, the effect of ammonium nitrogen rates on yield and chemical composition of Cichorium spinosum L. was examined. Five fertilizer ...
    • Sunflower growth and yield response to sewage sludge application under contrasting water availability conditions 

      Koutroubas S.D., Antoniadis V., Damalas C.A., Fotiadis S. (2020)
      Good knowledge of crop response to biosolids is necessary for optimizing their use as soil amendments. The present 2-yr study evaluated the impact of soil application of municipal sewage sludge on growth, dry matter ...
