AgriTexSil

A new experiment is in progress in the framework of the AgriTexSil project. The aim of the experiment is the evaluation of a silica-coated insect-proof net for the control of Aphis fabae, Sitophilus oryzae, and Tribolium confusum. The irrigation system has, already, been installed, and the transplantation of the tomato plants has, also, been completed.   Photo Gallery

In the framework of the AgriTexSil project, a series of measurements in a subsonic open-type tunnel was carried out, with the purpose of the determination of the aerodynamic characteristics of a series of nets. The measurements were carried out at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Thessaly.   Photo Gallery
