In Greece, the protection of olive orchards against the olive fruit fly ( Bactrocera oleae ), the most serious pest of olive fruits, is implemented through a national control program. This program is implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development and Food in co-operation with various public and private organizations. A new approach followed for this goal is the use of insecticide spray solutions combined with trophic attractant to attract and kill the olive fruit fly. In the present study, a method for the determination of the major insecticides, lambda-cyhalothrin and Spinosad, in their spr

In the past decades, extreme precipitation and drought have increased in both intensity and frequency in global drylands, threatening the sustainability of agricultural systems. To address this challenge, this study refined the process-oriented STEMMUS (simultaneous transfer of energy, mass, and momentum in unsaturated soil) model by introducing a dynamic leaf area index (LAI) development sub-module, and defined scenarios incorporating variations in precipitation amount, precipitation intensity, and temperature. These scenarios elucidate the response patterns of shallow and deep soil moisture

Growing crops in salt-affected soils has become increasingly important for sustainable development in arid and semi-arid regions. Knowledge on the responses of alfalfa root development, yield, and quality to soil salinity is critical for assessing the productivity and profitability of salt-affected soils. A field experiment with a total of six treatments combining three soil salinity levels and two biosolids fertilizer levels was conducted in 2018 and 2019 in northwest China. For salinity treatments, the salt addition rates were 2‰, 4‰, and 6‰ of 0–60 cm soil dry weight, while a commercial bio

Irrigation and nitrogen (N) input are effective methods of balancing crop yields and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the effects of irrigation and N management on the GHG emission of winter wheat production systems have not yet been well documented. Therefore, we conducted 2-year field experiments on winter wheat and studied the effects of irrigation and N reduction/replacement on GHG emissions, grain yield, global warming potential (GWP), and GHG emission intensity (GHGI). The winter wheat was irrigated once or twice with 60 or 90 mm each time. Five N reduction/replacement treatment

Commercial strawberry (Fragaria ×ananassa Duch.) production in Florida relies heavily on bare-root transplants, which typically have 3–5 leaves with partially desiccated roots. Successful establishment requires sprinkler irrigation during daylight hours for the first 10–14 days, leading to substantial water consumption. To address this issue, we evaluated the efficacy of intermittent sprinkler irrigation as a water conservation strategy. We conducted field experiments over two growing seasons [Season 1 (2021–22) and Season 2 (2022–23)] in west-central Florida using three major strawberry culti

The uptake and accumulation of mercury (Hg) in rice poses a serious threat to food safety. Pot experiments are widely used to screen for low-Hg-accumulating cultivars, yet their reliability in predicting field performance remains uncertain. This study evaluated pot-based screening by (1) comparing Hg uptake in rice grown in freshly processed versus aged soil; (2) contrasting Hg accumulation in the same cultivars grown in pots versus at two field sites; and (3) isolating micro-environmental effects by burying pots in situ. A total of 22 rice cultivars were used during 2021–2023 in this study. P

Alfalfa is a high-yielding forage crop that is widely grown in the United States for grazing, hay and silage making. A proper maintenance of these grasslands is necessary to ensure optimum productivity and profits. The pre-harvest estimation of biomass yield helps in quantifying the profits and optimizing the forage allocation in advance. Most traditional methods of forage estimation are relatively laborious and time-consuming. Recent developments in contact and remote sensing technologies opened numerous paths for performing aboveground biomass estimation tasks with flexibility and easiness.

Nowadays, the consumption of organic foods is introduced to consumers as an alternative. The result of the application of chemical products is the crisis of environmental pollution, soil and water resources, and the health risk to human society. Nowadays, in order to reduce the effects of misuse of chemical inputs, chemical fertilizers can be replaced with organic biological fertilizers, including animal manure, compos

While converting cropland to grassland is a recognized strategy for SOC accumulation, the patterns of SOC accumulation under different grassland types and soil conditions remain unclear. This study evaluated the long-term effects of two perennial grasses—alfalfa (a legume) and switchgrass (a non-legume)—on SOC composition, specifically lignin phenols and amino sugars, in non-saline and saline–alkali soils, using a conventional wheat–maize rotation as a control.
