1. Microbial status of irrigation water for vegetables as affected by cultural practices : agronomic aspects
Sammanfattning : Human pathogens present in irrigation water can be transmitted to plants. Consumption of fruits and vegetables irrigated with pathogen-contaminated water can cause illness in humans. Leafy vegetables that are consumed fresh are particularly prone to cause such illnesses. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
3. Cognition and decision-making in adoption of agricultural decision support systems : the case of precision agriculture
Sammanfattning : Precision agriculture (PA) has a central role to play in a sustainable intensification trajectory of agriculture, including increased yields and decreased environmental impact. Although grounded in advanced technologies this still implies that the individual farmer will have to develop knowledge that is complex, diverse and local. LÄS MER
4. Large-scale releases of native species : the mallard as a predictive model system
Sammanfattning : Human alteration of natural systems, and its consequences are of great concern and the impact on global ecosystems is one of the biggest threats that biodiversity stands before. Translocations of invasive species, as well as intraspecific contingents with non-native genotypes, whether they are deliberate or unintentional, are one such alteration and its consequences are continuously being assessed.

5. Food or fuel? : trade-offs between food and biofuels globally and in small-scale organic agriculture
Sammanfattning : There are great expectations on agriculture to provide both food and fuels in the future. Previous attempts to estimate the global bioenergy potential have produced varying results, indicating major uncertainty. This thesis investigated the global theoretical 'potential', or limit, for biofuels based on current agricultural systems. LÄS MER
