Enabling next generation commercial service-oriented, automatic irrigation management systems for high efficient use of water, fertilizers and energy in drip irrigated tree crops (EFFIDRIP)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

Decisions on irrigation in farm management are not made for purely agricultural reasons any more. In recent years the cost of irrigating has shown a rising tendency lead by the increase in the price of energy and synthetic fertilizers.

"There is an urgent need to replace fish oil (FO) and meal (FM) from wild stocks in aquaculture diets with more sustainable alternatives, being vegetable oils (VO) the primary candidates. However, these oils are devoid of essential n-3 long-chain PUFA (LC-PUFA) and can be particularly rich in n-6 PUFA, leading to imbalances in the n-6/n-3 ratio. This situation is similar to what is presently obser ...
