Availability of iron in hydroponic nutrient solutions for rose crops
(2001)This study investigated the effect of light and agitation on the availability of iron in hydroponic nutrient solutions. In recycled hydroponic nutrient solutions used for the cultivation of roses, iron is added usually in ... -
Comparative efficiency of honeycomb and conventional pedigree methods of selection for yield and fiber quality in cotton (Gossypium spp.)
(2001)The effectiveness of honeycomb pedigree selection (HPS) as compared to conventional pedigree selection (CPS) was studied in one intraspecific (G. hirsutum L. x G. hirsutum L.) cross population (population I) and one ... -
A comparative study among landraces of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and P. coccineus L. based on molecular, physicochemical and sensory analysis for authenticity purposes
(2012)The common and runner beans are the two most widely cultivated species because of their highly nutritive value for humans and animals. This study was undertaken to interpret data from physicochemical, sensory and molecular ... -
Comparison between conventional and organic weed management: growth and yield of leek (Allium porrum L.)
(2012)Leek is a weak competitor against weeds. A field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of herbicides and mulching on weed flora, growth and yield of a leek crop. A randomized complete block design was employed ... -
Detection and characterization of fungicide resistant phenotypes of Botrytis cinerea in lettuce crops in Greece
(2013)The development of resistance to chemical control agents needs continuous monitoring in Botrytis cinerea. 790 isolates from lettuce and other vegetable crops were collected from six widely separated sites in Greece and ... -
Effect of Irrigation Scheduling on Gerbera Flower Yield and Quality
(2010)Better understanding of the effects of irrigation frequency and dose on flower production of gerbera plants (Gerbera jamesonii) can lead to optimal water management and crop yield. Measurements of greenhouse microclimate ... -
Effect of two UV-absorbing greenhouse-covering films on growth and yield of an eggplant soilless crop
(2006)The use of UV absorbing films as greenhouse cover material is spreading out in protected cultivation. Although their effects on pest and disease management have received much attention, few studies focus on their effects ... -
Effectiveness of SSR molecular markers in evaluating the phylogenetic relationships among eight Actinidia species
(2008)The aim of the present study is to evaluate a set of microsatellites and their effectiveness in determining the phylogenetic relationships among Actinidia species. A set of 14 genotypes belonging to eight Actinidia species ... -
Effects of field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) and powdery mildew Leveillula taurica (Lev.) Arn. on pepper growth and yield - Short communication
(2012)Field experiments were conducted to determine the effects of field bindweed and powdery mildew on growth and yield of a pepper crop. This study also evaluated the efficacy of fungicide application programs for controlling ... -
Effects of paclobutrazol and chlormequat on growth and flowering of lavender
(2002)Growth retardants allowed production of more uniform, compact, flowering plants for commercial use of lavender (Lavandula stoechas). Paclobutrazol at 200, 400 and 600 mg.L-1 (ppm) was sprayed in a single or double application. ... -
Effects on microclimate, crop production and quality of a tomato crop grown under shade nets
(2012)The effects of four shade nets with different colour transmission properties and shading intensities (two black nets with shading intensities of 40% and 49%, a green net with a shading intensity of 34%, and a mixed green ... -
Energy inputs, output and productivity in organic and conventional maize and tomato production, under mediterranean conditions
(2013)Maize (Zea mays L.) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are two important crops in Mediterranean countries. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the differences and similarities in energy flow between conventional ... -
Flower morphology and number of aubergine (Solanum melongena L.) in relation to fruit load and auxin application
(2001)The effect of fruit load and auxin application on the flower morphology and flower number of two aubergine cultivars was investigated under greenhouse conditions. The flowers of plants that did not set fruit showed only ... -
Gardenia jasminoides Height Control Using a Photoselective Polyethylene Film
(2008)The use of chemical growth retardants is a standard practice for compact gardenia plant production. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of using a photoselective polyethylene greenhouse covering film ... -
Greenhouse seed production of two dwarf green bean cultivars in relation to the duration of irrigation
(2005)As good quality irrigation water becomes increasingly scarce in the Mediterranean region, especially in coastal areas where greenhouses are located, methods of economizing water consumption are essential. Therefore, the ... -
Interrelationship among and repeatability of seven stability indices estimated from commercial cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) variety evaluation trials in three Mediterranean countries
(2008)Multi-environment trial data are required, to obtain variety stability performance parameters as selection tools for effective cultivar evaluation. The interrelationship among seven stability parameters and their association ... -
Landraces versus commercial common bean cultivars under organic growing conditions: A comparative study based on agronomic performance and physicochemical traits
(2007)This study targeted to assess the yield components and physicochemical traits of eight common bean landraces versus four commercial cultivars widely grown in Greece. The genotypes were cultivated for two growing seasons ... -
Line selection for exploiting durum wheat (T-turgidum L. var. durum) local landraces in modern variety development program
