Improving marketing is one of the future challenges for processed foods, with potential for joint marketing with other agricultural products. The objective of this study was to evaluate Andalusian consumer preferences for different cheese and sweet wine pairings.
The extraction of olive oil by physical methods produces large quantities of olive and oil washing water. This water is stored in large ponds for evaporation, and is not reused. In this regard, a study was conducted on the agricultural, environmental, and business benefits and limitations of its use as irrigation in olive groves and on calm soil.
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
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 agri-environmental aid linked to olive groves is known as Operation 10.1.7. Sustainable Olive Systems. This support measure for this sector is part of the 2014-2020 Community Strategic Framework (CSF) of the Andalusian Rural Development Programme (RDPA), specifically Measure 10: Agri-Environment and Climate.
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 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.
The chestnut wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus) is a major pest of chestnut crops, seriously compromising their profitability.
There is a need for analysis to support decision-making regarding agri-environmental policy. This study analyzes the preferences of Andalusian olive growers regarding this policy, particularly regarding the adoption of ecological focus areas (EFAs) and agri-environmental practices. The results show that these preferences vary depending on the olive grove system.
Factors such as the type and concentration of inoculum of the defoliating pathotype of Verticillium dahliae in irrigation, root wounding of the olive tree, and the number of irrigation campaigns are considered for their effects on Verticillium wilt in the cultivar 'Picual' and the density of residual inoculum of the fungus in the soil.
Today, the demands of the agricultural sector are directed toward the search for non-toxic, natural, and useful active substances for the protection or stimulation of crops grown under unfavorable conditions, such as those found in warm climates. Spain leads the world in terms of cultivated vineyards.
Today, there are still species of arthropods that behave as significant pests for citrus fruits in other regions of the world, yet are not present in our growing area.
This material has been developed to provide a detailed overview of the pest Scirtothrips aurantii. It includes aspects such as its geographic distribution, life cycle, detection and monitoring methods, and current integrated management strategies.
This paper analyzes the demand for certified quality olive oils in Andalusia, focusing on different Certified Quality Systems available to Andalusian consumers: integrated production, organic farming, carbon footprint, fair price, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Globalgap, among others.
This study analyzes the knowledge transfer network for the digital transformation of the Andalusian olive sector, using the Social Network Analysis (SNA) methodology.
This manual, dedicated to olive pruning, addresses aspects related to this olive cultivation technique with the aim of training olive growers in the decision-making necessary to achieve optimal management of this practice.
