(2006)Three products allowed in organic farming (kaolin, mineral oil and insecticidal soap) as alternatives to chemical insecticides, were evaluated for the control of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) in a peach orchard. Their efficacy ... -
Ozone and salinity combined stress effects on olive leaf antioxidant enzyme activities
Abusafieh, D.; Pliakoni, E. D.; Nanos, G. D. (2011)The presence of high ambient ozone concentrations is common in the Mediterranean region, while saline water is often used for olive irrigation. The effects of this combined stress were studied in young olive trees. ... -

Nanos, G. D.; Kiritsakis, A. K.; Sfakiotakis, E. M. (2002)Green olives (Olea europaea L. cvs. 'Conservolea' and 'Chondrolia'), destined for Spanish-style processing, were harvested at the beginning and the end of commercial harvest period and stored at 5 and 7.5 degreesC in air ... -
Quality changes of temperate-zone grown 'Star Ruby' grapefruit during storage at chilling and non-chilling temperatures
Deltsidis, A. I.; Pliakoni, E. D.; Nanos, G. D. (2010)This work was an attempt to collect information on temperate-zone grown 'Star Ruby' grapefruit storage ability and chilling sensitivity. Ripe fruit were harvested late November 2007 and stored at commercial storage facilities ... -
Quality of fresh-cut apples treated at harvest with 1-MCP
Georgoudaki, T.; Nanos, G. D. (2015)Most apples diverted to long term storage are currently treated with 1-methylcyclopropane (1-MCP) in many countries. We tested the hypothesis that 1-MCP treatment could improve the quality of fresh-cut apple slices. 'Red ... -
Site-specific management in an olive tree plantation
Fountas, S.; Aggelopoulou, K.; Bouloulis, C.; Nanos, G. D.; Wulfsohn, D.; Gemtos, T. A.; Paraskevopoulos, A.; Galanis, M. (2011)Yield and soil mapping were carried out in 2007 and 2008 in a 9.1 ha commercial olive tree plantation for olive oil production. The orchard is in the southern Peloponnese, where olives are cultivated extensively for extra ... -
Soil spatial variability and site-specific fertilization maps in an apple orchard
Aggelopoulou, K. D.; Pateras, D.; Fountas, S.; Gemtos, T. A.; Nanos, G. D. (2011)In the present study, the spatial variability of some soil physical and chemical properties in a 0.8 ha apple orchard were studied. Sixty soil samples were taken from two sampling depths: 0-0.3 m and 0.3-0.6 m. The soil ... -
Soil spatial variability in small Greek apple orchards
Aggelopoulou, K. D.; Pateras, D.; Fountas, S.; Gemtos, T. A.; Nanos, G. D. (2007)In the present study, the spatial variability of some soil physical and chemical properties in a 0.8 ha apple orchard were studied. Sixty soil samples were taken to a depth of 30 cm and analyzed for the following soil ... -
Spatial and temporal variability of yield and fruit quality in apples
Aggelopoulou, K. D.; Nanos, G. D.; Gemtos, T. A. (2010)The objective of this work was to study the spatial and temporal variability of yield and fruit quality in an apple (Malus × domestica) orchard for three consecutive years. The orchard was located in Ptolemaida area, ... -
Spatial variation in yield and quality in a small apple orchard
Aggelopoulou, K. D.; Wulfsohn, D.; Fountas, S.; Gemtos, T. A.; Nanos, G. D.; Blackmore, S.
