Some agronomic traits affecting barley mycorrhization, grain yield and quality Open
Breeding barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) for low-input conditions may be a key factor for enhancing yields in poor environments. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis and seeding rate may also affect barley performance in alkaline, low-P soils…
Evaluation of selective clay minerals and biochar as materials for sewage sludge stabilization Open
The objectives of this study were to evaluate sewage sludge’s stabilization with untested until now materials, such as selective clay minerals or biochar in comparison with liming, for enhancing sludge’s fertilization capacity. Dewatered s…
Molecular DNA Barcoding and Fertilization Effects on Growth and Herbal Quality Features of Cultivated Sideritis syriaca subsp. syriaca, a Local Endemic Plant of Crete with High Medicinal Value Open
Herein, we applied DNA Barcoding for the genetic characterization of Sideritis syriaca subsp. syriaca (Lamiaceae; threatened local Cretan endemic plant), using seven molecular markers of cpDNA. Five fertilization schemes were evaluated com…
From the wild to the field: effect of foliar or soil application of inorganic or semi-organic fertilizers on various parameters of four local endemic plant species of Crete (Greece) Open
Domestication of wild plant species of interest coupled with introduction of pilot cultivation practices and appropriate fertilization schemes could be an efficient alternative for addressing sustainable exploitation needs of threatened an…
Adaptability of Wild-Growing Tulips of Greece: Uncovering Relationships between Soil Properties, Rhizosphere Fungal Morphotypes and Nutrient Content Profiles Open
Wild-growing Greek tulips are protected plants but almost nothing is known about their natural nutrient status and rhizosphere fungal morphotypes in the wild, thus no insight is currently available into their growth and adaptation to their…
Cation Exchange Resins for Predicting Available K on K-Deficient Soils: Extraction Capacity among Different Soil K Pools and First Insights on the Contribution of K Solubilized by Rhizosphere Microbes Open
The contribution of non-exchangeable soil K in the total K availability may be essential to K deficient soils; however, less attention has been paid so far for proposing soil tests that assess the bioavailable structural K that is solubili…
Soil Application of Sewage Sludge Treated with Clay Minerals or Biochar and Its Effect on Soil Properties and White Clover’s (Trifolium repens L.) Growth and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungal Root Colonization Open
From the perspective of finding new, more environmental-friendly methods for the stabilization of sewage sludge to be used in agriculture, sludge treated with 15% bentonite, vermiculite or biochar was investigated as a soil amendment for w…
