A method for using monthly average temperatures in phenology models for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
(International Viticulture and Enology Society (IVES), 2022-11-21)
In recent years, there have been increasing efforts to link phenology models with seasonal climate predictions in so-called Decision Support Systems (DSS) to tailor crop management strategies. However, ...
The influence of olive tree fertilization on the phenols in virgin olive oils. A review
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. Instituto de la Grasa, 2022-09-08)
The total phenols in virgin olive oil are highly dependent on cultivar, but also on ripening stage and other agronomic factors. The focus of most studies on agronomic factors has been irrigation, while ...
Understanding Drainage Dynamics and Irrigation Management in a Semi-Arid Mediterranean Basin
(MDPI, 2022-12-21)
Irrigation is one of the main users of water worldwide and its overuse may affect the natural regimes of water systems. To avoid this, drainage and irrigation management needs to be improved. This study ...
Evaluating the feasibility of using Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3 satellites for high-resolution evapotranspiration estimations
(Elsevier, 2018-11-21)
The Sentinel satellite missions are designed to provide remote-sensing observational capability to many diverse operational applications, including in the field of agriculture and food security. They ...
On the accuracy of factory-calibrated low-cost soil water content sensors
(MDPI, 2019-07-13)
Soil water content (SWC) monitoring is often used to optimize agricultural irrigation.
Commonly, capacitance sensors are used for this task. However, the factory calibrations have been
often criticized ...
Water primrose invasion changes successional pathways in an estuarine ecosystem
(Ecological Society of America, 2018-09-17)
Invasive species fundamentally change the bio-physical and ecological characteristics of the
ecosystems they invade. Rapidly expanding invasive species may facilitate the spread of other invasive ...
Fruit sizing using AI: A review of methods and challenges
(Elsevier, 2023-09-23)
Fruit size at harvest is an economically important variable for high-quality table fruit production in orchards and vineyards. In addition, knowing the number and size of the fruit on the tree is essential ...
The impact of irrigation on the quality of drainage water in a new irrigation district
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2015-10-28)
La calidad del agua de dos sistemas de drenaje agrícola fue monitorizado en dos temporadas de riego para determinar la sostenibilidad de una zona recientemente transformada de secano a regadío y gestionada ...
Accounting for Almond Crop Water Use under Different Irrigation Regimes with a Two-Source Energy Balance Model and Copernicus-Based Inputs
(MDPI, 2022-04-27)
Accounting for water use in agricultural fields is of vital importance for the future prospects for enhancing water use efficiency. Remote sensing techniques, based on modelling surface energy fluxes, ...
Long-Term Study of the Crop Forcing Technique on cv. Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) Vines and Suggested Irrigation Strategies to Improve Water Use Efficiency of Forced Vines
(MDPI, 2024-01-04)
Recently, the crop forcing technique (summer pruning that “forces” the vine to start a new cycle) has proven to be effective in delaying the harvest date and increasing must acidity, but also reducing ...
