Distribution Uniformity in Intensive Horticultural Systems of Almería and Influence of the Production System and Water Quality
(MDPI, 2021)
The high productivity and efficiency of the use of irrigation water that characterizes greenhouse horticultural crops can be affected by poor irrigation distribution uniformity. The objective of this work was to estimate ...
Microsatellite Markers in Olives (Olea europaea L.): Utility in the Cataloging of Germplasm, Food Authenticity and Traceability Studies
(MDPI, 2021)
The olive fruit, a symbol of Mediterranean diets, is a rich source of antioxidants and oleic acid (55–83%). Olive genetic resources, including cultivated olives (cultivars), wild olives as well as related subspecies, are ...
Soil Nutrients Effects on the Performance of Durum Wheat Inoculated with Entomopathogenic Fungi
(MDPI, 2020)
Entomopathogenic fungi (EFs) are widely used as biological control agents. However, some strains of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium brunneum can also promote plant growth and increase nutrient uptake. We examined the ...
Almond Anthracnose: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives
(MDPI, 2020)
Almond anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum spp. has been described as one of the most important diseases of this nut crop in the main almond-growing regions worldwide, including California, Australia and Spain. Currently, ...
Modeling Sugar Beet Responses to Irrigation with AquaCrop for Optimizing Water Allocation
(MDPI, 2019)
Process-based crop models such as AquaCrop are useful for a variety of applications but must be accurately calibrated and validated. Sugar beet is an important crop that is grown in regions under water scarcity. The ...
Open-Source Application for Water Supply System Management: Implementation in a Water Transmission System in Southern Spain
(MDPI, 2021)
Sustainable water use has become a critical issue for the future of the planet in face of highly probable climate change. The drinking water supply sector has made significant progress over the last 20 years, although ...
A Model for Selecting the Most Cost-Effective Pressure Control Device for More Sustainable Water Supply Networks
(MDPI, 2019)
Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) have been widely used as a device to control pressure at nodes in water distribution networks and thus reduce leakages. However, an energy dissipation takes place during PRV operation. Thus, ...
Sustainable Water-Energy Nexus towards Developing Countries’ Water Sector Efficiency
(MDPI, 2021)
Water management and energy recovery can improve a system’s sustainability and efficiency in a cost-effective solution. This research assesses the renewable energy sources used in the water sector, as well as the related ...
Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Droughts in Spain
(MDPI, 2020)
Drought is an important natural hazard that is expected to increase in frequency and intensity as a consequence of climate change. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of future changes in the temperature and precipitation ...
