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.
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.
This document aims to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using ultrasound in the reproductive management of small ruminant farms, based on the experience of IFAPA through the RAEA of Sheep.
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 paper aims to provide an overview of the state of the art regarding the use of SO2 in winemaking. It details the recommendations adopted by the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) to reduce SO2 dosages at the various stages of winemaking without compromising wine quality.
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.
This report presents the work carried out to clarify whether Montepila is a grape variety or a synonym or homonym of another existing variety. To this end, plant material was collected from eight plots in the Montilla-Moriles area where it is grown, and morphological characterization, genetic identification, and virus detection were performed.
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.
This study presents data from 2018, across two extensive meat sheep production systems. It includes two reproductive management systems, along with economic profitability data for both cases.
This study presents data from 2019 using two extensive meat sheep breeding systems, in order to show two reproductive management systems and the economic data on profitability in both cases.
This study presents data from 2013, using two extensive meat sheep production systems. Two herd reproductive management systems were used, along with economic data on profitability in both cases.
This study presents data from 2015, using two extensive meat sheep production systems. Two herd reproductive management systems were used, along with economic data on profitability in both cases.
This study presents data from 2016, using two extensive meat sheep production systems. Two herd reproductive management systems were used, along with economic data on profitability in both cases.
This study presents data from 2017, across two extensive meat sheep production systems. Two herd reproductive management systems were used, along with economic data on profitability in both cases.
This document presents the technical and economic data for 2014 for two extensive sheep production systems for meat production. The two reproductive management systems analyzed are the traditional system with three farrowing pens per year and the Star system with five farrowing pens and hormonal treatment.
The objective of this document is to provide the industry with an overview of the various ultrasound tests performed at the Rancho de la Merced Center and their application in oenology. The document aims to provide information on their application to improve red winemaking using red varieties with color instability in warm climates, such as Tempranillo.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of exposure to artificial long days at an early age, or rearing in the presence of sexually activated adult rams, on sexual activity, testicular development, and testosterone concentrations in spring in autumn-born Merino sheep.
Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are a poor crop in Spain, an essential ingredient in beer, and have medicinal and cosmetic applications. Currently, all necessary production is imported, and only about 550 hectares are cultivated in León. Three trials were conducted to determine its viability using a single variety, Nugget, the most common in the north.
