• Cotton and cardoon byproducts as potential growing media components for Cichorium spinosum L. commercial cultivation 

      Petropoulos S., Fernandes Â., Stojković D., Pereira C., Taofiq O., Di Gioia F., Tzortzakis N., Soković M., Barros L., Ferreira I.C.F.R. (2019)
      The intensification of horticultural crops cultivation makes urgent the seeking for alternative growth substrates that could substitute non-renewable and/or synthetic growing media, such as peat and rock wool. The aim of ...
    • Management information system for spatial analysis of tractor- implement draft forces 

      Tsiropoulos, Z.; Fountas, S.; Gemtos, T.; Gravalos, I.; Paraforos, D. (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 ...
    • People, robots and systemic decision making 

      Blackmore, B. S.; Blackmore, C. P. (2007)
      People can make decisions intuitively, based on their values and perceptions which take account of their contexts, so demonstrating a systemic approach. Other decisions processes are more rational than intuitive and can ...
    • Precision agriculture applications in horticultural crops in greece and worldwide 

      Gemtos, T. A.; Fountas, S.; Aggelopoulou, K. (2011)
      Precision agriculture is the management of spatial and temporal variability of the fields using ICT. The application in horticultural crops was developed in the last ten years. Data are collected from different sources ...
    • Soil parameters assessment by remote sensing 

      Gemtos T.A., Cavalaris C., Caramoutis C., Anagnostopoulos D., Giouvanidis S., Fountas S. (2015)
      In this paper, remote sensing measurements like apparent electrical conductivity (ECa.) are used to assess soil compaction. In an experiment comparing five tillage treatments and their effect to energy crops soil penetration ...
    • A systems view of agricultural robots 

      Blackmore, B. S. (2007)
      Many agricultural robots are being built around the world but, in most cases, these projects are focussing on developing the technologies for individual machines. This paper attempts to broaden the scope by taking a systems ...
