The Effect of Different Irrigation Methods in Biodiesel Production from Sunflower

Abstract

Karatasiou E, Papanikolaou C and Makrantonaki MS

The rational use of irrigation water and the production of energy from renewable sources are among the major concerns of the international scientific community in recent years. Against this background, the Agricultural Hydraulics Laboratory of the University of Thessaly conducted research related to the effect of two different irrigation methods in the production of biodiesel from sunflower crop. Two treatments were organized, in four replications for the growing seasons of the years 2011 and 2012. The treatments were: a) the surface drip irrigation in which the irrigation was scheduled by the Penman-Monteith method and b) the surface drip irrigation in which the irrigation was scheduled by an automatic evaporation pan.
