Strawberry Variety Evaluation: Results Obtained in Organic Cultivation. 2016/2017 Crop Season

This document presents the results obtained from the agronomic evaluation of twelve strawberry varieties at the Flor de Doñana partner farm in the municipality of Almonte, using organic farming techniques (EC Regulation 834/2007). This work was conducted to generate objective information about the performance of the studied varieties under the indicated conditions.

Strawberry Variety Evaluation. Results Obtained in Conventional Cultivation with Biosolarized Soil. 2016/2017 Crop Season

This document presents the results obtained at the 'El Cebollar' Experimental Farm during the agronomic evaluation of twelve strawberry varieties using conventional cultivation techniques, with the exception of the use of biosolarization for soil disinfection prior to planting.

Strawberry Variety Evaluation: Results Obtained in Conventional Cultivation with Chemically Disinfected Soil. 2016/2017 Crop Season

This document presents the results of the agronomic evaluation of twelve strawberry varieties at the collaborating farm 'Fresperiquito' using conventional cultivation techniques (chemical soil disinfection with 1,3 dichloropropene plus chloropicrin).

Technology of ecological greenhouses on the Almería and Granada coast

This study describes the main characteristics of organic greenhouses located on the coast of Almería and Granada, based on a survey of 150 organic vegetable producers in the study area. Specifically, it describes the main technologies used by producers in their greenhouses, and finally compares organic and conventional production systems.

Improving strawberry quality and production in recirculating hydroponic cultivation using different fertigation strategies.

In this work (Degree Thesis), three strawberry varieties were studied, two of them short-day, 'Primoris' and 'Festival', and one day-neutral, 'Albion', each with a different planting date.

Meloidogyne in Zucchini: Characterization of the Disease

The document evaluates the factors that influence the development of the disease and the impact on the production of two species of nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne javanica, affecting zucchini crops.

Lettuce Chlorosis Virus in Bean Crops

Lettuce chlorosis virus-Sp (LCV-SP) is a new strain of LCV that affects green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and causes symptoms such as interveinal mottling and yellowing of mid- and lower-grown leaves, which also causes them to become more brittle.

Early detection of CGMMV using ImmunoStrip®

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a member of the Tobamovirus genus, easily transmitted by contact and infecting many cucurbit species, including cucumber. Its presence in southeastern Andalusia has increased in the last five years, partly due to the presence of a new strain of the virus of Asian origin in areas where it had not been previously described.

Biological pest control in winter cucumber crops: Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot versus Transeius montdorensis (Schicha).

In cucumber crops, biological control is primarily based on releases of the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii to control whiteflies and flower thrips. However, its use may be limited during the late fall-winter cycles for various reasons. Another predatory mite, Transeius montdorensis, is currently commercially available and can also feed on these pests.

Protected Horticulture Diversity Study: Dragonflies (I)

In December 2015, a network of hedges with native shrub plants was established around several greenhouses at the IFAPA La Mojonera Center (Almería). These plantings constitute measures to improve biodiversity in the intensive horticulture landscape. One of the insect groups that can benefit from these interventions are dragonflies, which appear spontaneously on these plants and are predatory.

Diversity of the Physical-Chemical Quality of Sweet Cucumber, a New Crop in Spain

The main objective of this study was to study the physical and chemical quality of sweet cucumber varieties grown in greenhouses in Almería. This information is intended to provide consumers, farmers, technicians, and agri-food companies with a view to diversifying and boosting consumption and production.

Agricultural Enterprise. Module I.

The Training Program consists of four generic modules, common to all productive areas. The remaining four modules are specific to each productive area and focus on specific technical aspects of agricultural and livestock production. Module 1, Agricultural Business, addresses general aspects related to farm management.

Strawberry Variety Evaluation: Results Obtained in Soilless Cultivation. 2016/2017 Crop Season

This study aimed to generate objective information on the agronomic performance of twelve strawberry varieties studied under soilless (coconut fiber) cultivation conditions. This document is offered as a tool for farmers and technicians to facilitate varietal selection in the face of the current wide range of available varieties.

Environmental Assessment of a Passive Heating System under a Greenhouse

The main objective of this study was to calculate and evaluate the environmental impact of a passive heating system in a greenhouse representative of the production area of Andalusia. To do so, we compared the environmental impacts of a pepper crop grown in a greenhouse equipped with such a heating system using simple heat accumulators (water hoses) and in an unheated greenhouse.

Carbon Footprint in Cherry Tomatoes

The objective of this study was to determine the carbon footprint of different cherry tomato cultivation systems in the Mediterranean region throughout their life cycle. The plastic greenhouse system had the highest carbon footprint.

Protected Organic Cultivation of 12 Traditional Tomato Cultivars

The objective of this study is to evaluate the greenhouse performance of 12 traditional medium-to-large tomato cultivars under organic production standards. Secondary objectives include a study of yield, soil chemical parameters before and after cultivation, and pH adjustment during fertigation.

How to do Integrated Lettuce Production outdoors

The objective of this document is to outline the mandatory and prohibited requirements for Integrated Production of lettuce, thus facilitating the work of technicians and farmers who wish to comply with this standard. It also outlines the commitments to Integrated Production and the benefits it provides.
