Electronic atmometer: a sustainable irrigation management device Open
The objective of this study is to evaluate the evapotranspiration calculated with the use of an electronic atmometer (ET G ; mm) against the Penman–Monteith evapotranspiration (ET P-M ; mm) by retrieving climatic data from a telemetric wea…
Design of TETHYS: A Greenhouse Plant-Smart Water Harvesting and Air-Cleaning System Open
A framework to formulate a multiscale model based on the “speaking plant” approach is proposed. It is composed of a network of sensors to assess plant physiological conditions and a desiccant dehumidification and air-cleaning system direct…
A Decision Support System for Irrigation Scheduling Using a Reduced-Size Pan Open
An automatic, weight-based, small 20 cm diameter pan was used for real-time calculations of evaporation and precipitation in a semiarid environment. The water evaporated from the evaporimeter (EP) was found to be a significant predictor of…
Shertered horticulure adapted to different climate zones in Radhort Countries Open
Over the last decade, the total population of the sub-Saharan region of Africa has been increasing rapidly at a rate of more than 3% annually, with urbanization expected to be approximately 40% of the total population by 2050. Parallel gro…
Reduction in Blockage Property of UV-Blocking Greenhouse Covering Material: In Situ and Lab Measurement Comparison Open
The goal of this research was to compare and evaluate the measurements taken by different instruments regarding alterations while varying the ultraviolet (UV)-blocking property of cladding material during its usage under real greenhouse co…
Energy and Water Related Parameters in Tomato and Cucumber Greenhouse Crops in Semiarid Mediterranean Regions. A Review, Part II: Irrigation and Fertigation Open
Increasing agricultural systems’ resource efficiency is the key action for producing adequate food quantities in semi-arid Mediterranean regions while coping with water scarcity, environmental constraints and economic issues. Optimisation …
Energy and Water Related Parameters in Tomato and Cucumber Greenhouse Crops in Semiarid Mediterranean Regions. A Review, Part I: Increasing Energy Efficiency Open
Countries located in the Mediterranean region share many common features in terms of agricultural sustainability and economic realities of modern farming, as they are affected by water scarcity, energy use and climate suitability. Greenhou…
Estimation of Aerodynamic and Canopy Resistances in a Mediterranean Greenhouse Based on Instantaneous Leaf Temperature Measurements Open
Aerodynamic and canopy resistances have long been considered to be of key interest in model equation parameterization, particularly for the accurate estimation of crop evapotranspiration. However, model parameters applied in greenhouses sh…
Implementing Sustainable Irrigation in Water-Scarce Regions under the Impact of Climate Change Open
The sustainability of irrigated agriculture is threatening due to adverse climate change, given future projections that every one in four people on Earth might be suffering from extreme water scarcity by the year 2025. Pressurized irrigati…
