Adsorption of methylene blue and methyl red dyes from aqueous solutions onto modified zeolites
Ioannou, Z.; Karasavvidis, C.; Dimirkou, A.; Antoniadis, V. (2013)Zeolite, hematite, modified zeolite and commercial activated charcoal were examined for their ability to remove methylene blue (MB) and methyl red (MR) from their aqueous solutions. Modified zeolite and hematite were ... -
Availability of Cu and Zn in an acidic sludge-amended soil as affected by zeolite application and liming
Antoniadis, V.; Damalidis, K.; Dimirkou, A. (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. ... -
Boron behavior in apple plants in acidic and limed soil
Antoniadis, V.; Chatzissavvidis, C.; Paparnakis, A. (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
Antoniadis, V.; Damalidis, K. (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 ... -
Development of a Simplified Model for Nitrogen Fertilizer Recommendation for Maize, Wheat, and Sunflower in Northern Greece
Antoniadis, V.; Anagnostopoulou, V.; Theodorou, K.; Koutroumbas, S. (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 ... -
Growth, grain yield and nitrogen use efficiency of Mediterranean wheat in soils amended with municipal sewage sludge
Koutroubas, S. D.; Antoniadis, V.; Fotiadis, S.; Damalas, C. A. (2014)The application of sewage sludge (SS) to agricultural land can improve soil fertility and physical properties, and enhance crop production. This field study was conducted for two consecutive growing seasons to investigate ... -
Hexavalent Chromium Dynamics and Uptake in Manure-Added Soil
Molla, K.; Dimirkou, A.; Antoniadis, V. (2012)The soil dynamics of hexavalent Cr, a particularly mobile and toxic metal, is of a great environmental concern, and its availability to plants depends on various soil properties including soil organic matter. Thus, in a ... -
How apple responds to boron excess in acidic and limed soil
Paparnakis, A.; Chatzissavvidis, C.; Antoniadis, V. (2013)Two year-old apple plants (Malus domestica cv. Red Chief Delicious) were grown in an acidic and limed soil, and fertilized with B (0, 1, 3 and 5 mg kg(-1) soil). Fresh matter weight of plants was positively correlated with ... -
Mineralization of Organic-Amendment-Derived Nitrogen in Two Mediterranean Soils with Different Organic-Matter Contents
Antoniadis, V. (2013)The use of organic fertilizers in lands with low organic-matter content, such as those found in the Mediterranean region, is an attractive option for enhancing soil quality and fertility status. However, it is difficult ... -
Nitrogen and phosphorus availability to ryegrass in an acidic and limed zeolite-amended soil
Antoniadis, V.; Damalidis, K.; Koutroubas, S. D. (2012)Nitrogen and P fertilization increases crop yields, especially in acidic soils, but its effect may be minimized by various N loss and P retention processes. Zeolite may enhance N and P fertilizer efficiency. The aim of ... -
Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium Availability in Manure- and Sewage Sludge-Applied Soil
Antoniadis, V.; Koutroubas, S. D.; Fotiadis, S. (2015)A field experiment with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was established over two growing seasons where farmyard manure and sewage sludge, along with conventional fertilizer, were added to soil. We found that ammonium N was ... -
Phosphorus Availability in Low-P and Acidic Soils as Affected by Liming and P Addition
Antoniadis, V.; Hatzis, F.; Bachtsevanidis, D.; Koutroubas, S. D. (2015)Acidic soils typically suffer from high phosphorus (P) retention, a problem that can be dealt with using greater P fertilization, soil liming, or both. The aim of this work was to examine which of these practices bears the ... -
Sorption of Cu and Zn in low organic matter-soils as influenced by soil properties and by the degree of soil weathering
Antoniadis, V.; Golia, E. E. (2015)Copper and Zn sorption and desorption, among other factors, depend on soil pH, but in soils with different degree of weathering the role of other soil properties (. e.g., oxides content and the level of their crystallinity) ... -
Stabilization of Sewage Sludge by Using Various By-products: Effects on Soil Properties, Biomass Production, and Bioavailability of Copper and Zinc
Shaheen, S. M.; Shams, M. S.; Ibrahim, S. M.; Elbehiry, F. A.; Antoniadis, V.; Hooda, P. S. (2014)Stabilization of sewage sludge (SS) prior to its land disposal may help control the mobility of SS-borne contaminants, particularly potentially toxic metals. We examined the effects of stabilized SS application on soil ...
