Fig cultivation (Ficus carica L.) is one of the traditional Mediterranean crops that is on the rise, not only due to its unique flavor and nutritional value, rich in fiber, potassium, proteins, minerals, and vitamins, but also due to its resilience and adaptation to the conditions of different growing areas.
The compliance of fruits and vegetables with retail specifications, primarily in terms of aesthetic appeal according to consumer standards, is becoming one of the most pressing drivers of Food Losses and Waste (FLW). Nearly one-third of all fruits and vegetables produced in Europe are discarded each year due to their appearance.
Almonds have been gradually introduced into the Guadalquivir Valley under irrigated conditions in recent years as an alternative to other traditional crops with lower profitability. Therefore, there is a significant demand for knowledge regarding the most appropriate irrigation strategies for this crop, especially when water availability is below the crop's optimum.
The almond tree, Prunus dulcis (Mill.) DA Webb, is one of the most important crops in Spain, mostly grown under rainfed conditions and in marginal areas where inputs are very scarce.
Document that compiles the results of studies conducted on the potential impacts of climate change on Andalusian olive groves and the recommended adaptation measures to ensure their future sustainability.
During the 2020/2021 campaign, a group of 14 varieties selected from those currently available on the market were characterized. The parameters evaluated and presented in this work are related to the production and quality of the different varieties.
Document showing the analytical and sensory results of the partial dealcoholization of young Palomino Fino white wines. The wines were produced and subsequently dealcoholized at the Rancho de la Merced experimental winery. The grapes used came from three coastal towns in the province of Cádiz.
Document showing the results of trials conducted between 2011 and 2013 on the agronomic, physiological, and qualitative effects of moderate irrigation on Vitis vinifera cv. Syrah and cv. Cabernet Sauvignon, grown in a Mediterranean climate.
Document showing the results of a three-year trial comparing the effects of manual pruning and mechanical pruning of two red grape varieties grown in the Montilla mountain range on their agronomic performance and oenological potential.
Document showing the results of a study aimed at optimizing maceration time to obtain a rosé wine from the Melonera variety. It details the production of rosé wines and the results obtained with this variety in four consecutive campaigns (2011-2014).
Document showing the results of the calculation of the cultivation coefficient (Kc) for almond trees in Western Andalusia, recommending the irrigation water dosage in three areas of Córdoba and Seville.
Document showing the results of the study carried out over four consecutive seasons in a vineyard located in the IFAPA Rancho de la Merced center. The main objectives were to improve crop profitability by applying new mechanized cultivation practices and techniques, and to study the impact of new viticulture models on plant physiology and the quality of the grapes and wine.
This document presents the olive and olive oil sector's perception of the work carried out by the Rural Development Groups in the provinces of Jaén, Córdoba, and Granada. The work was carried out as part of the Transforma Olive and Olive Oil Project.
This document presents the current status of the use of sulfur dioxide preservatives in the wine industry. It describes how this preservative works, its properties, and its effects on wine quality and consumer health.
This document presents the current status of organic viticulture at the national level and in the autonomous community of Andalusia. It also covers regulations on organic farming, with particular emphasis on the conversion process and the importance of certification. Finally, it includes an analysis of the various applicable aid and subsidies.
Document showing the consequences of vineyard mechanization on the quality of musts and wines. The trial was conducted entirely at the IFAPA Rancho de la Merced, from grape cultivation to winemaking, over four consecutive seasons.
Document showing the initial results of a trial evaluating the possibility of producing organic sparkling wines from Pedro Ximénez and Tempranillo grapes using traditional sparkling winemaking methods.
Document describing the development of a direct, non-destructive method for determining the leaf area of a vineyard. This method can be used by winegrowers in the Montilla-Moriles region as a reference method for calculating the vegetative growth indices of their vineyards.
This document describes the results of the 2015 campaign on the productive potential of the local Gordal variety. It analyzes different winemaking techniques and evaluates their impact on the physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics of the wines. It also provides an agronomic and oenological description of the local and foreign varieties grown in the Granada Plateau.
Document describing a static aging trial of two types of vinegar in new and used American and French oak barrels.
