Air flow and associated sensible heat exchanges in a naturally ventilated greenhouse
(1997)In order to investigate the three-dimensional nature of the air flow within the greenhouse, a three-dimensional sonic anemometer was used for the direct measurement of air and heat exchange inside the greenhouse and through ... -
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 ... -
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: A Blessing or A Curse for Weed Management in Organic Olive Crops?
(2011)Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with the roots of many plants including important weeds. Cultural practices affect the populations and the infectivity of AM fungi. Density, biomass, root ... -
Assessment of growth and yield components following the application of different biological fertilizers on soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivation
(2011)In the present study, the effect of five biological fertilizers [b(1) (control), b(2), b(3), b(4) and b(5)] on the yield and quality properties of the seeds of two well-established in Iran soybean genotypes (Glycine max ... -
Assessment of lure and kill and mass-trapping methods against the olive fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), in desert-like environments in the Eastern Mediterranean
(2014)Management of the olive fly using environmentally friendly methods includes strategies based on lure and kill and/or mass-trapping. Despite a wealth of studies related to the efficacy of different lure and kill and ... -
BIOMASS PRODUCTION AND N-USE OF FIBRE SORGHUM UNDER DIFFERENT COVER CROPPING MANAGEMENT, NITROGEN INFLUXES AND SOIL TYPES IN CENTRAL GREECE
(2014)Field experiments were carried out over a period of three years to evaluate the effect of cover cropping faba bean with fibre sorghum, compared to mono-crop cultivation, on yield (dry matter), nitrogen utilization efficiency ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Comparison of spinetoram, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and chlorantraniliprole against life stages of Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) on concrete
(2013)Spinetoram, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and chlorantraniliprole are new insecticides with novel mode of actions, low mammalian toxicity and low impact to environment. In the present study, the efficacy of these insecticides ... -
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 ... -
The critical period for weed competition in parsley (Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Nyman ex AW Hill) in Mediterranean areas
(2012)Weeds are one of the major limiting factors for economically viable parsley production. Field experiments were carried out in central Greece, in 2010 and 2011 to determine the effect of competition from a natural weed flora ... -
Cultivation of cow cockle (Vaccaria hispanica (Mill.) Rauschert): An industrial-medicinal weed
(2012)Cow cockle (Vaccaria hispanica (Mill.) Rauschert) is an important medicinal weed. Its therapeutic properties are due to present of triterpenoid saponins. Large potential exists to use cow cockle as source of pharmaceutical ... -
Cultivation of milk thistle (Silybum marianum L. Gaertn.), a medicinal weed
(2011)Milk thistle (Silybum marianum L. Gaertn.) is the most researched plant for the treatment of liver disease. Its therapeutic properties are due to the presence of silymarin, a mixture of three flavonolignans (silybin, ... -
Degradation and adsorption of terbuthylazine and chlorpyrifos in biobed biomixtures from composted cotton crop residues
(2010)BACKGROUND: Biobeds have been well studied in northern Europe, whereas little is known regarding their use in southern Europe. The degradation and adsorption of terbuthylazine (TA) and chlorpyrifos (CP) were studied in ... -
Design of optimal irrigation networks
(2006)The problem of selecting the best pattern of pipe diameters of an irrigation network has long been given considerable attention by engineers when designing hydraulic works. The classical optimization techniques, which have ... -
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 ... -
