Degradation and Adsorption of Pesticides in Compost-Based Biomixtures as Potential Substrates for Biobeds in Southern Europe
(2010)Biobeds have been used in northern Europe for minimizing point source contamination of water resources by pesticides. However, little is known regarding their use in southern Europe where edaphoclimatic conditions and ... -
Dissipation of pure and broccoli-released glucosinolates in soil under high and low moisture content
(2013)Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites found in Brassica species. Upon tissue disruption GSLs are hydrolyzed by myrosinase enzymes to isothiocyanates (ITCs) which are highly toxic to microbes. Therefore the ... -
Key parameters and practices controlling pesticide degradation efficiency of biobed substrates
(2012)We studied the contribution of each of the components of a compost-based biomixture (BX), commonly used in Europe, on pesticide degradation. The impact of other key parameters including pesticide dose, temperature and ... -
Novel biomixtures based on local Mediterranean lignocellulosic materials: Evaluation for use in biobed systems
(2010)The composition of biomixtures strongly affect the efficacy of biobeds. Typically, biomixture consists of peat (or compost), straw (SIR) and topsoil (1:2:1 by volume). Straw guarantees a continuous supply of nutrients and ... -
Species Richness and Density of Earthworms in Relation to Soil Factors in Olive Orchard Production Systems in Central Greece
(2013)Earthworms can be used as bioindicators of soil management as they are easy to classify and very sensitive to changes of both physical and chemical soil parameters. The aim of this work was to study relations between ...
