Adaptivity for knowledge content in the semantic web
(2008)The focus of this report is the adaptivity issue for Learning Objects owned by Learning (Web) Services. We address this issue based on the Concept, Resource, Order, Product (CROP) Reference Architecture that we briefly ... -
Addressing climate change impacts on agriculture: Adaptation measures for six crops in Cyprus
(2020)The agricultural sector of Cyprus is seriously affected by climate change impacts. In the framework of the ADAPT2CLIMA project, the available techniques and methods implemented worldwide for the adaptation of six crops ... -
Advancements of nanotechnologies in crop promotion and soil fertility: Benefits, life cycle assessment, and legislation policies
(2021)Increasing agricultural production has become one of the key components to bridge the gap between securing food resources and sustainable development goals (SDGs), namely, no poverty, zero hunger, preservation of natural ... -
AgroNIT: Innovating Precision Agriculture
(2022)Major global concerns considering food production include, not only meeting the increasing food demand but also meeting challenges that put significantly less strain on the environment, safeguard food quality and prevent ... -
Analysis of microclimate and cucumber fruit yield in a screenhouse and an evaporatively cooled greenhouse in a semi-arid location
(2018)The microclimate and cucumber crop response in a screenhouse and in an evaporatively cooled greenhouse were studied in Oman during winter/spring and spring/summer cultivation periods. Measurements were carried out in two ... -
Assess and prognosticate green house gas emissions from agricultural production of EU countries, by implementing, DEA Window analysis and artificial neural networks
(2017)One of the most important policy reforms for the European Union (EU) agriculture was the implementation of the Agenda 2000, which establishes a new framework for subsidies management, decoupled from both crop and animal ... -
Assessment of the effects of oxamyl on the bacterial community of an agricultural soil exhibiting enhanced biodegradation
(2019)Modern agricultural practices largely rely on pesticides to protect crops against various pests and to ensure high yields. Following their application to crops a large amount of pesticides ends up in soil where they may ... -
CASTOR BEAN MECHANICAL HARVESTING: CROP TERMINATION AND COMPARISON BETWEEN CEREAL AND SUNFLOWER HEADERS’ PERFORMANCE INSTALLED ON A CONVENTIONAL COMBINE HARVESTER
(2022)Among the species currently cultivated for industrial vegetable oil production, castor bean (Ricinus communis, L.) could be a good candidate for future investments due to the good resistance to pests, tolerance to drought, ... -
A Comparison between Variable Deficit Irrigation and Farmers’ Irrigation Practices under Three Fertilization Levels in Cotton Yield (Gossypium hirsutum L.) Using Precision Agriculture, Remote Sensing, Soil Analyses, and Crop Growth Modeling
(2022)The major global challenge for the coming decades will be increasing crop production with less water consumption. Precision agriculture (PA) and variable deficit irrigation (VDI) are management strategies that help farmers ... -
Cotton and cardoon byproducts as potential growing media components for Cichorium spinosum L. commercial cultivation
(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 ... -
Creation of a remote sensing unmanned aerial system (UAS) for precision agriculture and related mapping applications
(2013)Our goal is to create a fully autonomous airborne remote sensing platform, for the production of various vegetation indices to determine growth, development, yield crop and provide considerable information in real time and ... -
Crop reflectance measurements for nitrogen deficiency detection in a soilless tomato crop
(2018)Early detection of nitrogen deficit stress is essential to effectively and precisely manage crop production under greenhouse conditions. This article demonstrates the use of hyperspectral machine vision as a non-contact ... -
Crop reflectance monitoring as a tool for water stress detection in greenhouses: A review
(2016)Multisensory platforms for remote sensing measurements offer the possibility to monitor in real-time the crop health status without affecting the crop and environmental conditions. The concept of the speaking plant approach, ... -
Daily temperature optimisation in greenhouse by reinforcement learning
(2005)The goal of this study is to show the usefulness of reinforcement learning (RL) to solve a common greenhouse climate optimisation problem. The problem is to minimise the daily heating cost while achieving simultaneously ... -
Development of a district information system for water management planning and strategic decision making
(2015)The overall objective of this work is the development of a District Information System (DIS) which could be used by stakeholders for the purposes of a district day-to-day water management as well as for planning and strategic ... -
THE ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF CASTOR SUPPLY CHAIN: A GREEK CASE STUDY
(2022)Castor is a candidate crop that grows in marginal lands in the Mediterranean area. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the economic and environmental impacts under the Mediterranean climate and farming ... -
Economic potential of robots for high value crops and landscape treatment
(2007)In recent years, the development of robotic vehicles in agriculture has experienced an increased interest which has led many researchers to start exploring the possibilities of developing more rational and adaptable vehicles ... -
Edible halophytes of the Mediterranean basin: Potential candidates for novel food products
(2018)Background: Recent trends in the food science industry and consumers’ preferences for diversified diets suggest the consumption of wild greens not only as diet complements but also as healthy and functional foods for ... -
Effect of irrigation frequency on rose flower production and quality
(2006)A better understanding of the effects of irrigation frequency on flower production and quality of rose plants can help to propose optimal irrigation scheduling. For this purpose, experiments were conducted on a soilless ... -
