Antagonistic bacteria of composted agro-industrial residues exhibit antibiosis against soil-borne fungal plant pathogens and protection of tomato plants from Fusarium oxysporum f.sp radicis-lycopersici
(2010)Rhizospheric and root-associated/endophytic (RAE) bacteria were isolated from tomato plants grown in three suppressive compost-based plant growth media derived from the olive mill, winery and Agaricus bisporus production ... -
Applicability of an empirical runoff estimation method in central Greece
(2007)In order to assess the water runoff on the sloping cultivated fields of Central Greece, an experiment was carried out from 1997 to 2000. The following treatments were used: three tillage methods, viz. conventional tillage, ... -
Assessing interrill erosion rate from soil aggregate instability index, rainfall intensity and slope angle on cultivated soils in central Greece
(2005)In order to develop anew formula for assessing interrill erosion rate by incorporating the soil aggregate instability index, beta, erosion plots at seven sites in central Greece were used to measure interrill erosion rate ... -
Availability of Cu and Zn in an acidic sludge-amended soil as affected by zeolite application and liming
(2012)Purpose Acidic soils exhibit high trace element availability compared to neutral pH soils, and thus, when trace metals are added (e. g. due to sewage sludge application), measures should be taken to reduce their mobility. ... -
Bio-pesticides: Harmful or harmless to ammonia oxidizing microorganisms? The case of a Paecilomyces lilacinus-based nematicide
(2013)Bio-pesticides are considered as low-risk compounds, a belief mainly based on their natural origin rather than on experimental evidence. Thus there is a need to explore the ecotoxicity of bio-pesticides and mostly their ... -
Boron behavior in apple plants in acidic and limed soil
(2013)In dry Mediterranean-type climates boron (B) levels may naturally be high and even toxic to plants. Although liming of an acidic soil is expected to decrease B levels, it is not known what the effects would be in such areas ... -
Copper Availability in an Acidic and Limed Zeolite-Amended Soil
(2014)In acidic soils, copper (Cu) availability may be high because of Cu impurities of various agricultural additives. This research was aimed at assessing liming and zeolite application as availability reduction methods. In a ... -
Corn tolerance to atrazine and cadmium and sunflower to cadmium in soil and hydroponic culture
(2008)Hydroponic culture is often used for screening plant tolerance or remediation efficacy to environmental pollutants. Field experiments are usually avoided because of soil and groundwater contamination; thus pot experiments ... -
Determinants of Woody Plant Species Richness in Abandoned Olive Grove Ecosystems and Maquis of Central Greece
(2015)The present study aimed to compare the woody plant species richness and cover (%) of five abandoned olive groves and five maquis ecosystems in central Greece and to describe the relationship between woody plant species ... -
Development of a Simplified Model for Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendation for Maize, Wheat, and Sunflower in Northern Greece
(2013)In many cases, fertilizer crop recommendations in northern Greece are made based on personal opinions rather than scientific background. This may lead to overfertilization and waste of resources. For sound fertilizer ... -
Dissipation of pure and broccoli-released glucosinolates in soil under high and low moisture content
(2013)Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites found in Brassica species. Upon tissue disruption GSLs are hydrolyzed by myrosinase enzymes to isothiocyanates (ITCs) which are highly toxic to microbes. Therefore the ... -
The effect of land parameters on vegetation performance and degree of erosion under Mediterranean conditions
(2000)Important land parameters such as soil texture, soil depth, topography, parent material, and climatic conditions were studied in a semi-detailed soil survey conducted in the island of Lesvos, and were related to the ... -
Effect of olive mill wastewater on growth and bulb production of tulip plants infected by bulb diseases
(2014)The effect of olive mill wastewater (OMW) on growth of tulip plants infected by common diseases as well as on their new bulbs production is analyzed in this work. Filtered and sterilized OMW was tested as growth inhibitor ... -
Effects of a UV-absorbing greenhouse covering film on tomato yield and quality
(2012)The effect of blocking the ultraviolet (UV) solar radiation using a UV-absorbing low density polyethylene (PE) film on tomato crop yield and fruit quality was evaluated in a two-year study in two arched roof greenhouses ... -
Effects of aluminum and moisture levels on aluminum bioaccumulation and protein content in the earthworm Octodrilus complanatus
(2013)Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the effects of soil aluminum levels and moisture content on aluminum (Al) bioaccumulation and protein content in the earthworm (Octodrilus complanatus). The experimental ... -
Effects of Organic Farming on Winter Plant Composition, Cover and Diversity in Olive Grove Ecosystems in Central Greece
(2013)The present study aimed to assess the effects of organic farming in comparison with conventional on plant composition, plant cover (%), diversity [species richness, Shannon, Simpson, and evenness (Pielou's) indexes] and ... -
Effects of Pea Cultivation as Cover Crop on Nitrogen-Use Efficiency and Nitrogen Uptake by Subsequent Maize and Sunflower Crops in a Sandy Soil in Central Greece
(2013)The long-term positive effects of cropping systems involving rotation with cover crops on soil properties and the environment are well recognized. The present work concerns a 3-year field experiment focusing on two cropping ... -
Effects of soil application of olive mill wastewaters on the structure and function of the community of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
(2009)Recycling of olive mill wastewaters (OMW) into agricultural soils is a controversial issue since benefits to soil fertility should counterbalance potential short-term toxicity effects. We investigated the short-term effects ... -
Evaluation of Growth Media Incorporating Cotton Ginning By-products for Vegetable Production
(2012)The suitability of by-products from the cotton ginning industry for incorporation into growth media for three vegetable crops was examined. Composts were prepared by mixing the by-product with soil in 5 ratios (20:80, ... -
Evaluation of three cultivation practices for early cotton establishment and improving crop profitability
(2006)Cultivation practices permitting earlier sowing of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in Greece are required to maximize yields and facilitate harvesting. An experiment was conducted for 2 years in Central Greece to evaluate ...
