Agri-Food Surplus, Waste and Loss as Sustainable Biobased Ingredients: A Review
(2022)Ensuring a sustainable supply of food for the world’s fast growing population is a major challenge in today’s economy, as modern lifestyle and increasing consumer concern with maintaining a balanced and nutritious diet is ... -
Analysis of microclimate and cucumber fruit yield in a screenhouse and an evaporatively cooled greenhouse in a semi-arid location
(2018)The microclimate and cucumber crop response in a screenhouse and in an evaporatively cooled greenhouse were studied in Oman during winter/spring and spring/summer cultivation periods. Measurements were carried out in two ... -
Assessment of the impact of the fumigant dimethyl disulfide on the dynamics of major fungal plant pathogens in greenhouse soils
(2016)Soil fumigants constitute a major tool for the control of soil borne fungal plant pathogens in protected crops. Dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) is a novel soil fumigant used either alone or in combination with other fumigants ... -
Cereal yield gaps across Europe
(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 ... -
Chemical composition and bioactive compounds of garlic (Allium sativum L.) as affected by pre- and post-harvest conditions: A review
(2016)Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is considered one of the twenty most important vegetables, with various uses throughout the world, either as a raw vegetable for culinary purposes, or as an ingredient of traditional and modern ... -
A Comparison between Variable Deficit Irrigation and Farmers’ Irrigation Practices under Three Fertilization Levels in Cotton Yield (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Using Precision Agriculture, Remote Sensing, Soil Analyses, and Crop Growth Modeling
(2022)The major global challenge for the coming decades will be increasing crop production with less water consumption. Precision agriculture (PA) and variable deficit irrigation (VDI) are management strategies that help farmers ... -
The effect of covering material on the yield, quality and chemical composition of greenhouse-grown tomato fruit
(2019)BACKGROUND: During the last few decades, greenhouse technology for horticultural crops has focused on retaining optimum conditions within the greenhouse environment that could allow for a compromise between maximum yields ... -
The effect of nitrogen fertigation and harvesting time on plant growth and chemical composition of centaurea raphanina subsp. mixta (DC.) Runemark
(2020)The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertigation (0, 200, 400, and 600 ppm of total nitrogen) and harvesting time (9 March 2018 and 19 April 2018) on the plant growth, chemical composition, ... -
Evaluation of the use of LIDAR laser scanner to map pruning wood in vineyards and its potential for management zones delineation
(2018)Vine vigour assessment has been a major concern of precision viticulture studies in order to identify areas of uniform vine performance within vineyards. Moreover, the counting and weighing of winter dormant canes is ... -
Impacts of irrigation and nitrate fertilization scenarios on groundwater resources quantity and quality of the Almyros Basin, Greece
(2021)Irrigation and nitrate fertilization scenarios were combined and simulated for crop water irrigation demands and nitrogen applications based on experiments on crop cultivation practices. Two irrigation practices (deficit ... -
Interactive effects of salinity and silicon application on Solanum lycopersicum growth, physiology and shelf-life of fruit produced hydroponically
(2020)BACKGROUND: Using water with high salinity for plant fertigation may have detrimental effects on plant development and total yield and on the quality of the crop produced. As a possible means to alleviate the negative ... -
