Middleware to Operate Smart Photovoltaic Irrigation Systems in Real Time
(MDPI, 2019)
Climate change, water scarcity and higher energy requirements and electric tariff compromises the continuity of the irrigated agriculture. Precision agriculture (PA) or renewable energy sources which are based on communication ...
Wavelength Selection Method Based on Partial Least Square from Hyperspectral Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Orthomosaic of Irrigated Olive Orchards
(MDPI, 2020)
Identifying and mapping irrigated areas is essential for a variety of applications such as agricultural planning and water resource management. Irrigated plots are mainly identified using supervised classification of ...
Agronomics charasteristic and Verticillium wilt resistance evaluation in new olive cultivar selection
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
The olive tree is the most cultivated perennial crop in the Mediterranean Basin, having deep cultural roots and a significant impact in economy of this area. For several decades, Verticillium wilt disease, caused by the ...
Several Yeast Species Induce Iron Deficiency Responses in Cucumber Plants (Cucumis sativus L.)
(MDPI, 2021)
Iron (Fe) deficiency is a first-order agronomic problem that causes a significant decrease in crop yield and quality. Paradoxically, Fe is very abundant in most soils, mainly in its oxidized form, but is poorly soluble and ...
Long-term effects of deficit irrigation on almond production
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
Introduction. The recent favourable market perspectives for almonds around the world have induced important changes in Spanish almond production systems during the last 10 years. Earlier, the production was dominated by ...
Influence of the evolution of the moisture profile on the soil forming processes
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
The five soil-forming factors described by Jenny in 1941: climate, relief, biological activity, lithology, and time, depend on the water. Soil degradation, especially due to erosion, is one of the most serious problems ...
Compatibilidad de Reguladores del Crecimiento de los Insectos (RCI) con el depredador Chrysoperla carnea (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) y las interacciones con insecticidas microbianos para el control de Spodoptera littoralis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
En la actualidad se buscan alternativas de control de plagas con menor impacto ambiental y que impliquen un menor riesgo para el entorno, para lo cual se ha de evaluar la compatibilidad entre diferentes agentes de control ...
Use of remote sensing in the monitoring of dehesa vegetation and its influence on the hydrological balance at basin scale
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
The Mediterranean region is characterized by hot summers with long dry periods, a situation that may be exacerbated by the progressive global warming. In these water-limited environments where productivity of the ecosystems ...
Comprehensive comparison of several data-driven methods for Mediterranean water resources management across diferent temporal scales
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)
Since the beginning of time, there has been innovation in the knowledge and technology of water and the hydraulic systems, to achieve an efficient and upgrade management of them. In this project, as an opening hypothesis, ...
Multi-Country Scale Assessment of Available Energy Recovery Potential Using Micro-Hydropower in Drinking, Pressurised Irrigation and Wastewater Networks, Covering Part of the EU
(MDPI, 2021)
Studies have shown micro-hydropower (MHP) opportunities for energy recovery and CO2 reductions in the water sector. This paper conducts a large-scale assessment of this potential using a dataset amassed across six EU ...
