This document includes general aspects of both secondary and newly emerging species, providing information on their biology, the crops most affected by each species, as well as the damage they cause and the chemical and biological control measures currently available.
This document presents the results of a series of trials aimed at developing a new strategy for introducing the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii into cucumber crops.
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.
Centaurea diluta infestations are becoming increasingly frequent and significant in the Andalusian countryside. This species belongs to the Compositae family and in southern Spain undergoes staggered emergence from the first autumn rains until well into spring, which is why it is found in many alternative crops, practically all of them.
Under the conditions of the Cordoba countryside, in a year with favorable weather conditions for crop and weed development, malting barley proved to be highly competitive with weeds, more so than wheat, as observed in previous trials.
In the springs of 2015 and 2016, phytotoxicity damage was observed in sunflower crops attributed to residues of sulfonylurea herbicides applied to the previous wheat crop. This study proposes new trials to expand on previous studies.
During the 2014-2015 crop season, severe phytotoxicity damage was observed in the early stages of sunflowers planted in late winter or early spring. The effects were severe in some farms, resulting in almost the entire crop being lost, while in others, the damage was milder, and the crop managed to reach maturity.
This teaching material reviews the main theoretical and practical aspects that may be useful in combating the main pests of stone fruit trees in our region, within the framework of the Integrated Production Program contemplated in the Regulations for Integrated Production of Peach, Plum, and Apricot Trees in Andalusia (BOJA, 2013).
This educational material contains the most useful information for managing the main groups of auxiliary fauna that appear spontaneously in Andalusian stone fruit plantations.
This educational material covers the most relevant aspects of biological pest control in citrus crops in our autonomous community.
This educational material covers the most important aspects for recognizing the most important pests of Andalusian citrus fruits, as well as the damage they cause. It also reviews, from an integrated perspective, the different control methods currently available, specifically: cultural measures, biological control, technological control, and chemical control.
This document presents a general overview of techniques for controlling D. suzukii, with the understanding that none of them alone guarantees the absence of damage. The fight against D.
This document aims to demonstrate the specific requirements of a vegetable seedbed for establishing an Integrated Production system, keeping in mind that the ultimate goal of a seedbed is the production of vigorous, healthy plants with strong roots and maximum utilization of the seeds used.
This document reviews the main theoretical and practical aspects that may be useful in combating the main pests of stone fruit trees in our community, within the Integrated Production Program contemplated in the Regulations for Integrated Production of peach, plum and apricot trees in Andalusia (BOJA, 2013).
This document presents a technical evaluation of three phytosanitary applications carried out with a manual spray lance at different working pressures (20 bar, 15 bar and 10 bar), determining the quantity of sprayed product that falls on the plant mass, the uniformity of the distribution of the applied product on the plant and the losses to the soil of the sprayed product generated, with the ai
This guide contains all the information concerning mollusc pests in citrus farming: recognition and control.
This project aims to enrich the World Olive Germplasm Bank with new material (landrace varieties) from Andalusia and increase the representativeness of Andalusian wild populations in the wild olive collection also housed at the IFAPA Center in Córdoba. The identification and diversity study of this material has been carried out using DNA molecular markers.
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.
Lettuce chlorosis virus-Sp (LCV-SP) is a new strain of LCV that affects green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and causes symptoms such as interveinal mottling and yellowing of mid- and lower-grown leaves, which also causes them to become more brittle.
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a member of the Tobamovirus genus, easily transmitted by contact and infecting many cucurbit species, including cucumber. Its presence in southeastern Andalusia has increased in the last five years, partly due to the presence of a new strain of the virus of Asian origin in areas where it had not been previously described.
