Publications

At INNO4VEG, we believe that innovation in vegetable production starts with knowledge.

This section presents scientific and professional publications authored or co-authored by INNO4VEG members.

The innovations we promote focus on sustainable vegetable production, emphasizing the application of new methods in an interdisciplinary environment — including irrigation, fertilization, biostimulants, grafting, and AI-assisted cultivation technologies.

Scientific Articles

1. This study demonstrated that biostimulants can increase onion yield and improve quality even when nitrogen fertilization is reduced (Vojnović et al., 2023). Link: https://doi.org/10.3390/pr11030684

2. This research showed that biostimulants increased onion biomass (both from seeds and sets) but reduced phenolic content, indicating a lower level of stress in treated plants (Vojnović et al., 2023). Link: https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae9121345

3. This study examend the application of Moringa leaf extract improved the quality of greenhouse-grown cabbage (Yaseen et al., 2023). Link: https://doi.org/10.1155/2023/3210253

4. This study showed that drip irrigation improved the quality of potato tubers intended for chip processing (Žunić et al., 2023). Link: https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae9101153

5. This study examined the impact of biostimulants on onion yield and quality from direct sowing, showing that Trichoderma spp.-based biostimulants increased first-class yield by 24.3% (Vojnović et al., 2024). Link: https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae10040391

6. This study demonstrated that cucumber grafting increased yield but reduced fruit quality parameters, reflecting the balance between productivity and bioactive compound content (Vojnović et al., 2024). Link: https://doi.org/10.3390/horticulturae10111135

7. Fertilization of celery with by-products from the sugar and brewing industries improved root quality and bioactive composition (Milić et al., 2024). Link: https://doi.org/10.3390/foods13223652

8. This study investigated a new direct sowing method (three double rows per tape) applied to differently colored onion cultivars, revealing notable differences in bulb mass and phytochemical composition (Vojnović et al., 2025). Link: https://doi.org/10.15586/qas.v17i3.1549

9. This research found that in direct-sown onions, biostimulants increased yield even under reduced nitrogen rates, improving nutrient use efficiency (Vojnović et al., 2025). Link: https://doi.org/10.32604/phyton.2025.065535
