State of the Art and New Technologies to Recycle the Fertigation Effluents in Closed Soilless Cropping Systems Aiming to Maximise Water and Nutrient Use Efficiency in Greenhouse Cr... by Dimitrios Savvas, Evangelos Giannothanasis, Theodora Ntanasi, Ioannis Karavidas, Georgia Ntatsi

“…Inappropriate fertilisation results in the pollution of groundwater with nitrates and phosphates, eutrophication in surface water, emission of greenhouse gasses, and unwanted N deposition in natural environments, thereby harming the whole ecosystem. …”

What evidence exists on the effectiveness of the techniques and management approaches used to improve the productivity of field-grown tomatoes under conditions of water-, nitrogen-... by Fanny Tran, Jonathan E. Holland, Nora Quesada, Mark Young, Damian Bienkowski, Dimitrios Savvas, Andrea Schubert, Georgia Ntatsi, Philip J. White, Graham S. Begg, Pietro P. M. Iannetta

“…Only 4% of records assessed all three resources simultaneously; (4) most evidence (77%) aims to improve resource use-efficiency via either irrigation, fertilisation, or crop and soil management strategies; and (5) different geographical regions appear to focus on different groups of interventions. …”

Hydroponic Common-Bean Performance under Reduced N-Supply Level and Rhizobia Application by Ioannis Karavidas, Georgia Ntatsi, Theodora Ntanasi, Anastasia Tampakaki, Ariadni Giannopoulou, Dimitra Pantazopoulou, Leo Sabatino, Pietro P. M. Iannetta, Dimitrios Savvas

“…This study aims to explore the possibility of a reduced application of inorganic nitrogen (N) fertiliser on the yield, yield qualities, and biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) of the hydroponic common bean (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.), without compromising plant performance, by utilizing the inherent ability of this plant to symbiotically fix N₂. …”
