D2. Fertigation recipes for selected crops in the Mediterranean region (CYPRUS)

Fertigation increases efficient use of water and fertilizers, produces higher yields, improves quality of the production and protects environment.  To see more>>>

D3. Salt response of protected horticultural crops (UNIPI)

A study was conducted on the response of horticultural crops to salinity with particular emphasis on crop yield and produce quality under saline conditions. To see more>>>

D4. A model to quantify the effects of climate control devices (movable shading and fogging) on water uptake (CIFA & IRTA)

Water is quite often a scarce natural resource in areas with warm spring and summer seasons. For this reason, there is the need to know the water consumption of greenhouse crops.  To see more>>>

D5. Multivariate analysis of climatic and physiological factors affecting transpiration in relation to water or osmotic stress on greenhouse crops. (ARO-ISWES)

Irrigation is always the water provider of plants grown in greenhouses. Proper management of the water input requires knowledge of the water consumption by plant transpiration.  To see more>>>

D6. Models for salt accumulation in recirculating nutrient solution culture (UNIPI)

In closed-loop hydroponics a complete nutrient solution is prepared with water that generally contains non-essential ions, and recirculated until chemical characteristics  To see more>>>

D7. A compilation of water use for protected cultivation in the Mediterranean, water resources and economics of storing and upgrading water (IMAG)

Work package 3 deals with means to ensure that irrigation water of the lowest possible quality is used, within the constraints of an economic management of the farm. To see more>>>

D8. A blueprint for optimal management of multiple-quality water-resources (IMAG)

Closed system is a definition that applies to all growing systems, whereby the water drained from the root zone can be recollected and [partly] re-used for irrigation of the same crop. To see more>>>

D9. Cascade cropping  systems as a tool for increasing water use efficiency in protected horticulture (UNIPI)

In the last years, the spread of soilless culture techniques has been increasing in the Mediterranean countries with the main purpose of saving labour and avoiding soil-borne diseases. To see more>>>

D11. An on-line control algorithm for greenhouse and fertigation computers (AUA)

An optimisation-based methodology for irrigation control and nutrient supply is developed using common measurements of greenhouse climate. Although the method is based on drain water measurements, To see more>>>
