Influence of irrigation and fertilization on the sterol and triterpene dialcohol compositions of virgin olive oil
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2020-12-04)
The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of irrigation and fertilization with nitrogen and potassium on the sterol and triterpene dialcohol contents in two trials of cv. Arbequina in ...
Crop diversification and digestate application effect on the productivity and efficiency of irrigated winter crop systems
(Elsevier, 2023-05-23)
Irrigated winter crops can reduce input demands when compared with irrigated summer cropping systems in the Mediterranean area. The sustainability of these systems can be further improved resorting to ...
Global transpiration data from sap flow measurements: the SAPFLUXNET database
(Copernicus Publications, 2021-06-14)
Plant transpiration links physiological responses of vegetation to water supply and demand with hydrological, energy, and carbon budgets at the land–atmosphere interface. However, despite being the main ...
Climate service driven adaptation may alleviate the impacts of climate change in agriculture
(Nature, 2022-11-12)
Building a resilient and sustainable agricultural sector requires the development and implementation of tailored climate change adaptation strategies. By focusing on durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. ...
Recovery of phosphorus from waste water profiting from biological nitrogen treatment: Upstream, concomitant or downstream precipitation alternatives
(MDPI, 2020-07-18)
Mined phosphate rock is the largest source of phosphorus (P) for use in agriculture and agro-industry, but it also is a finite resource irregularly distributed around the world. Alternatively, waste ...
Monitoring crop evapotranspiration and crop coefficients over an almond and pistachio orchard throughout remote sensing
(MDPI, 2018-12-10)
In California, water is a perennial concern. As competition for water resources increases due to growth in population, California’s tree nut farmers are committed to improving the efficiency of water ...
Effect of organic fertilisation on soil phosphatase activity, phosphorus availability and forage yield in mountain permanent meadows
(Elsevier, 2024-04-08)
Grassland management aims to ensure sufficient yield, forage quality and biodiversity. Robust knowledge supports sustainable management practices. In South Tyrol (NE Italy), we studied the effect of ...
Accurate estimates of land surface energy fluxes and irrigation requirements from UAV-based thermal and multispectral sensors
(Elsevier, 2023-03-28)
The two-source energy balance model estimates canopy transpiration (Tr) and soil evaporation (E) traditionally from satellite partitions of remotely sensed land surface temperature (LST) and the ...
Impact of Deficit Irrigation Strategies Using Saline Water on Soil and Peach Tree Yield in an Arid Region of Tunisia
(MDPI, 2024-02-27)
Sustainable fruit orchard development in arid areas is severely affected by the scarcity of fresh water. To mitigate the lack of fresh water, the use of low-quality water for irrigation is becoming a ...
Unravelling the Combined Use of Soil and Microbial Technologies to Optimize Cultivation of Halophyte Limonium algarvense (Plumbaginaceae) Using Saline Soils and Water
(MDPI, 2023-08-17)
Salt-affected soils have detrimental effects on agriculture and ecosystems. However, these soils can still be used for halophyte (salt-tolerant plants) cultivation using brackish and/or saline water. ...
