This document briefly describes the characteristics of the four most important pest species of avocado crops in our area (two tetranychid mites and two mealybugs) and their main natural enemies (predatory mites, neuropterans, and coccinellids). Photographs accompany the description for quick identification.
This document analyzes the main characteristics of citrus farms in Andalusia, including aspects such as farm area, main crops, and their average yields and most commonly used planting patterns. The data used in the study come from a survey of 203 citrus producers in the main growing areas of Andalusia.
In 2009, the regulations for the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Aloreña de Málaga Olive were approved, the first to achieve this distinction in Spain. Its production is located in the southeast of the province of Málaga. The Aloreña table olive is a brine-cured olive that may be fully or partially fermented and preserved with salt, organic acids, and spices.
In Andalusia, olive groves with slopes greater than 20 represent 26.8 of the total olive grove area, including areas with limited land use due to a combination of factors such as altitude and slope, and which are unprofitable, leading to a high risk of abandonment for this crop in Andalusia.
The use of microwaves is an emerging technology in the food industry. The IFAPA Rancho de la Merced team has applied this technology to the red winemaking process to enhance maceration during the alcoholic fermentation stage.
Vinegar is a product as old as wine and found in most homes, yet knowledge about it is scarce and poorly disseminated.
The table olive sector in Spain has grown in recent years, doubling its production in the last decade, reaching figures exceeding 800,000 tons. Andalusian table olive production is particularly notable, accounting for around 80% of Spanish production, and within this, the province of Seville accounts for 58% of national production.
Farm size, fragmentation, and dispersion affect profitability. Despite this, there are no studies that analyze these variables together; virtually all of them focus on farm size. The optimal proportion of fixed costs for machinery used in farm management can only be achieved when farms reach a certain minimum size. This fact is analyzed through the edge effect.
This paper aims to analyze the factors that have influenced the adoption of the PDO in the olive industry of Andalusia, as well as the influence of this adoption on the industrial and commercial practices implemented within the industry. This is intended to assist in the design of public policies that strengthen the dissemination of the PDO in the sector.
This work evaluates different sowing doses of Sinapis alba and the appropriate fertilization strategies to maximize plant development and glucosinolate content of this species, so that it is effective when used as a plant cover for biofumigation.
The Andalusian Rural Development Program 2014-2020 has included Measure 10 "Agri-Environment and Climate" and a series of submeasures; specifically, Submeasure 10.1.
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.
The TRANSFORMA Cítricos project, through a network of experimental trials in Andalusia, seeks to promote more sustainable and profitable citrus farming, especially in organic production. The IFAPA Center in Malaga contributes by evaluating plant material and innovative cultivation practices.
This study shows the genetic and environmental variability in olive flowering and flower quality in Andalusia. It also highlights the potential effect of temperature on these crucial parameters for annual production.
This paper presents the results of a field trial in an olive grove in which three herbicide treatments were applied to control weeds in an established Brachypodium distachyon plant cover.
This paper shows the results of a study in which, for 4 years, from 2003 to 2006, the productive response of different types of olive groves to the application of iron chelates or Fe EDDHA was evaluated.
This paper presents the results of several experiments in which different disinfectant products were applied through irrigation systems with the aim of reducing or eliminating the presence of Verticillium dahliae in irrigation water.
This work aims to evaluate the effect of herbicide control of dicotyledonous species that infest and compete with the vegetation cover of Brachypodium distachyon in an olive grove.
This paper aims to evaluate the adaptation of conventional and new hybrid (semi-dwarf) rootstocks under the agroclimatic conditions of the province of Seville during the 2014/15 crop year.
This document is addressed to those holding vineyards benefiting from aid under the Agro-Environment and Climate measure. Its objective is to inform and educate them about the mandatory requirements to be met, as well as how to explain the reasons for this aid and the intended purpose, in order to understand the reasons for these specific requirements and commitments.
