The wheat midge is a pest present in Andalusian wheat every season, usually in a secondary role. However, its incidence has been increasing in recent seasons. This publication analyzes the insect's life cycle and the control measures available for its dissemination in the Andalusian cereal sector.
The document contains useful information for the integrated control of this parasitic plant, addressing aspects of its morphology, life cycle, preventive measures, etc.
The document collects information on the possibilities of controlling the pathogen jopo (Orobanche creata Forsk.) in grain legumes under integrated production cultivation systems.
Chickpeas have been a traditional crop throughout the Mediterranean Basin, becoming part of dryland agricultural alternatives alongside cereals. Their hardiness, the improving effect they have on the soil, and the human use of their grain for food have been the main reasons for this.
This document presents the IFAPA Legume Germplasm Bank, its objectives, functions, nature, and procedures for requesting information and germplasm.
The document presents the concept of conservation varieties as a tool for addressing the registration of traditional varieties and ecotypes, thereby contributing to the diversity of agrosystems under production models that are more environmentally friendly and socially responsible.
The document presents the results of a demonstration trial in which different Andalusian chickpea ecotypes selected for their adaptation and yield were grown in the town of El Carpio (Córdoba). These plots were the subject of the Technical Visit held on May 20, during which farmers and technicians were able to learn about the characteristics of these materials firsthand.
The development of a sustainable system for corn cultivation requires, in addition to agronomic research, studies, currently scarce, on the economic viability of the crop.
The document provides an overview of Spanish scientific policy regarding the conservation of ex situ plant genetic resources and the strategy recently adopted by IFAPA.
The document is a Sainfoin Cultivation Guide.
This document is a guide to Operation 10.1.5. Sustainable Agroindustrial Crop Systems, of the Andalusian PRD 1014-2020. This document aims to provide information on the agronomic and environmental benefits of this practice, as well as offer a series of technical recommendations to follow for its proper implementation.
The fava bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important legume crop with a high protein content, adapted to diverse climatic conditions, and offering multiple benefits for the overall sustainability of cropping systems. The demand for plant-based proteins is expanding, and fava beans are a good candidate to meet this need.
Organic pea cultivation under greenhouse conditions can be an interesting alternative to conventional protected horticultural crops, as it is a minority crop in greenhouses in southeastern Spain, especially in organic cultivation. The main objective of this experiment was to evaluate both the production and adaptation of seven pea cultivars to certified organic greenhouse cultivation.
The objective of this publication is to provide the agricultural sector with up-to-date information on broad bean plant material tested in western Andalusia, including its agronomic and productive performance. A quick overview of the document will provide farmers with guidance on these varieties.
The objective of this publication is to provide the agricultural sector with up-to-date information on chickpea plant material tested in western Andalusia, including its agronomic and productive performance. A quick overview of the document will provide farmers with guidance on these varieties.
Cotton is the most traded non-food agricultural product worldwide. It is widely produced and consumed, making it one of the most cultivated crops in the world. It is one of the most important crops in the agricultural and livestock industry of Andalusia, where almost 100% of Spain's cultivated land is concentrated.
Technical document on measures to adapt corn cultivation to future climate change conditions, with the aim of addressing the reduction in water resources, avoiding the impact of extreme temperature events, and studying the possible adaptation of corn cultivation to the expected increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Description of the technique for implementing a slow-growing groundcover in an olive grove. Slow-growing annual species used as multi-year groundcover can be more easily planted by sowing them in narrow strips, protected on both sides by strips of faster-growing species, thus achieving better soil protection and less erosion during the first few months.
Different types and qualities of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) have been cultivated since ancient times in the Mediterranean Basin for use as a dried legume for human consumption. The term "quality" is subjective and depends on various parameters. This document provides an approximation of quality based on the operator or stakeholder interested in the seed.
Due to climate change, significant warming is expected in Southern Europe, with significant increases in average summer temperatures (up by 6°C compared to temperatures at the end of the century) and substantial decreases in spring and summer rainfall. Heat waves, periods of drought, torrential rains, and thunderstorms (extreme events) will occur more frequently (IPCC 2014).
