Effect of shading on greenhouse energy balance and crop transpiration
Kitta, E.; Bartzanas, T.; Savvas, D.; Katsoulas, N. (2012)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of greenhouse shading and irrigation water salinity on greenhouse microclimate and energy balance and on crop transpiration and leaf photosynthesis. Experiments were ... -
Effect of two new cover materials on greenhouse energy consumption and cooling load
Bartzanas, T.; Kitta, E.; Katsoulas, N.; Tsouknidas, A. (2012)The aim of this work was to study the effects of a new polyethylene (PE) film with high reflectance and absorption in near infrared radiation (NIR-PE film) and of a PE film with low transmittance in infrared radiation IR ... -
Effects of anti-drip polyethylene covering films on microclimate and crop production
Katsoulas, N.; Bartzanas, T.; Kitta, E. (2012)One important issue for greenhouse producers to deal with is the management of high humidity levels during the cold period of the year. High level of humidity is a factor that directly affects the fruit yield and quality ... -

Kitta, E.; Baille, A. D.; Katsoulas, N.; Rigakis, N.; Gonzalez-Real, M. M. (2014)The effects of cover optical properties on screenhouse radiative environment and sweet pepper productivity were investigated in a Mediterranean climate (Eastern Greece) under three covering materials (i) a pearl insect-proof ... -
Effects on microclimate, crop production and quality of a tomato crop grown under shade nets
Kittas, C.; Katsoulas, N.; Rigakis, N.; Bartzanas, T.; Kitta, E. (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 ... -
Extension and evaluation of a model for automatic drainage solution management in tomato crops grown in semi-closed hydroponic systems
Katsoulas, N.; Savvas, D.; Kitta, E.; Bartzanas, T.; Kittas, C. (2015)In the present paper, a model previously developed to simulate the course of Na+ accumulation in closed hydroponic systems as a function of plant water consumption was further extended so as to be operative also in semi-closed ... -
