Strawberries are a highly perishable fruit; their delicate skin can easily deteriorate during harvesting and transport, making them highly susceptible to fungal attack. Furthermore, the high respiration rate of the fruit causes it to ripen quickly, losing water and turgor. Good postharvest management is essential for the fruit to be accepted by consumers.
Strawberries, in addition to being highly valued for their flavor, are considered healthy fruits, as they contain bioactive compounds, both in the receptacle and in the achenes, linked to multiple health benefits.
Mechanical harvesting has become increasingly prevalent in recent decades in most Andalusian vineyards adapted to this type of machinery. However, this technique has always raised concerns about the final quality of the products obtained and even the profitability of the operation due to the potential losses that can occur.
Diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens are a limiting factor for strawberry crop productivity. They are currently controlled mainly through chemical control strategies with fumigants subject to exceptional use authorizations. Reducing the use of these agrochemical fumigants and implementing more sustainable alternatives are priority objectives in European and national agricultural policies.

Irrigation distribution uniformity (UD) indicates whether different parts of an irrigated plot receive water similarly. This document presents the results of localized irrigation assessments during the 2014/15 crop year in commercial plots of the Almonte Agricultural and Forestry District (Huelva) for a strawberry crop.
Root rot, caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands, and white root rot, caused by Rosellinia necatrix Prill, are among the most important diseases affecting avocados. This guide aims to provide practical information for identifying them in the field and provide a key set of general recommendations for their prevention and/or treatment.
Uncertainty surrounding the legal status of the main active ingredients used in soil disinfestation for strawberry cultivation necessitates continued research into physical and biological alternatives that provide farmers with potential work tools in the event of a ban or restriction on the use of currently used options.
The purpose of this teaching material, "Diseases of stone fruit trees and their management in integrated production," is to assist and guide farmers and advisors in implementing the principles of integrated disease management following the National Action Plan for the Sustainable Use of Phytosanitary Products, and to complement the integrated pest management guide for stone fruit tree
The strawberry is a crop of great economic importance, whose fruit is highly appreciated and consumed for its delicate flavor, aroma, and nutritional value. Due to growing consumer demand, increasing the organoleptic and nutritional quality of the fruit is becoming a key objective of genetic improvement, with traits such as vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) content being key.
The strawberry is a widely consumed fruit for its vibrant red color, characteristic flavor and aroma, and nutritional value. Due to these qualities, there is great interest in developing new varieties that enhance these traits.
Living vegetation cover is considered the most appropriate soil management system, except in cases where adequate control is not possible.
The chestnut wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) is a major pest of chestnut crops, seriously compromising their profitability. This document provides information on its distribution, biology, damage it causes, and existing control measures.
The chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) is a major pest of chestnut crops, seriously compromising their profitability. This document, in addition to describing the main characteristics of these gall wasps, provides information on the control of the chestnut gall wasp pest by native parasitoids.
The quality of freshly picked and post-harvest strawberries is a highly relevant factor for their commercial success. Therefore, in this work, we aimed to evaluate the organoleptic, functional, and post-harvest quality of a selection of 16 strawberry varieties from 11 different breeding programs in three cultivation systems.
Product quality and consumer satisfaction are priority elements for citrus growers. Therefore, this paper presents the parameters that define the morphological and organoleptic quality of citrus fruits. It also briefly describes the procedures for determining these quality parameters, which ensure compliance with regulations.
The characteristic color of ripe strawberries is due to the accumulation of anthocyanins. These pigments, in addition to increasing the attractiveness of the fruit, have numerous health benefits due to their antioxidant properties. Different strawberry varieties and species exhibit striking variability in fruit color, making this an important trait for breeders.
The white mealybug (Aulacaspis tubercularis) is the most important pest of mangoes in southern Spain and one of the most damaging worldwide. The basis for its integrated management is proposed here. A description of the pest is provided, along with data on its biology, symptoms, and damage.
Irrigation is essential to ensure crop quality and production in arid and semi-arid regions. The lack of rational irrigation scheduling can lead to inefficient management of irrigation systems with high potential efficiency.
The chestnut wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) is a major pest of chestnut crops, seriously compromising their profitability.
