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.
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.
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 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. Table of Contents: Unit 1: General Aspects of Olive Pruning; Unit 2: Olive Grove Bush Pruning; Unit 3: Olive Grove Hedge Pruning.
This document presents a new model of citrus cultivation system called Superintensive, i.e., high-density plantations with trees of reduced vigor with approximately 2,200 plants/hectare, narrower planting frames and hedge formation through the use of mechanized pruning, aimed at mechanized harvesting with riding equipment that shakes foliage, like a grape harvester.
The purpose of this paper is to present the possibilities that the use of the scratching technique offers for citrus cultivation, in addition to describing the fundamentals and correct method of implementation in the field.
The purpose of this paper is to present the potential that the use of different techniques and products offers for citrus cultivation. In this vein, and as part of IFAPA's ongoing research, we present the results of an experimental trial evaluating grating and the use of natural plant growth regulators to improve fruit set in Navel Powell.
This study aims to study the effect of mesh mulching under these growing conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of black mesh mulching and two water regimes (100% ETc and 66.6% ETc) on the Clementina de Nules variety under saline irrigation water (low-quality, high-conductivity water) and plot soil conditions in the province of Almería.
This paper presents the results obtained between 2013 and 2018 in a Pedro Ximénez vineyard grown organically in southern Córdoba. Three soil management treatments were evaluated: traditional tillage (TTT), spontaneous vegetation cover (SVC), and seeded vegetation cover (SVC). The effects of the different treatments on parameters related to grape physiology, yield, and quality were compared.
This study aims to evaluate the effect of black mesh mulching on the Clementina de Nules variety in two water regimes (100% ETc and 66.6% ETc) under the agroclimatic conditions of the coastal area of the province of Malaga.
This paper presents the results obtained from evaluating the production and quality of five blueberry varieties with different production profiles in the 2020 crop year.
This work presents the results of winemaking from two minority varieties grown in
This paper presents a method for analyzing volatiles in oranges using a rapid, clean, and environmentally friendly technique (solid-phase headspace microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) to determine the volatiles that contribute to the aroma of oranges.
