In cucumber crops, biological control is primarily based on releases of the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii to control whiteflies and flower thrips. However, its use may be limited during the late fall-winter cycles for various reasons. Another predatory mite, Transeius montdorensis, is currently commercially available and can also feed on these pests.
In December 2015, a network of hedges with native shrub plants was established around several greenhouses at the IFAPA La Mojonera Center (Almería). These plantings constitute measures to improve biodiversity in the intensive horticulture landscape. One of the insect groups that can benefit from these interventions are dragonflies, which appear spontaneously on these plants and are predatory.
In 2015, severe phytotoxicity damage to sunflowers was observed in Andalusia and Castile during late winter and spring. This publication presents the results of susceptibility trials conducted to address concerns regarding the phytotoxicity of herbicides applied to sunflowers during the previous crop.
Durum wheat is an important crop in Andalusia (Spain), where some 300,000 hectares are sown in autumn. Its cycle coincides with the rainfall period, which averages between 500 and 700 mm. Winters in this region are generally mild, but some frosts also occur in winter and occasionally in spring.
Durum wheat occupies around 300,000 hectares in Andalusia (Spain), mainly located in the provinces of Cádiz, Córdoba, and Seville. These crops are sown between November 15 and December 15, and occasionally between November 1 and January 7.
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 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 document presents the results of a field trial that tested various active ingredients for the control of Chrysantemum segetum, a herbicide-tolerant species that causes problems in herbaceous and woody crops.
The objective is to facilitate the various procedures for accessing plant genetic resources conserved ex situ at IFAPA, as established in Royal Decree 429/2020, of March 3.
The objective of this work has been to know the effect of 19
The wheat midge is a pest present in Andalusian wheat every season, usually in a secondary role. However, its incidence has been increasing in recent seasons. This publication analyzes the insect's life cycle and the control measures available for its dissemination in the Andalusian cereal sector.
The rapid growth of the world's population leads to a high demand for food. This requires the development of new techniques and compounds for use in agriculture, which generate numerous environmental problems. Notable among these is the use of phytosanitary products and pesticides for pest control. Both their application and preparation are sources of environmental pollution.
The almond worm (Capnodis tenebrionis L) has become the main pest affecting almond crops, to the point that it can kill the plant and cause the uprooting of plantations.
Citrus HLB is currently considered the most devastating disease affecting citrus crops worldwide, but it is not yet present in the Mediterranean area. It is a bacterial disease transmitted by two insect vectors: the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) and the African citrus psyllid (Trioza erytreae).
This document presents the IFAPA Legume Germplasm Bank, its objectives, functions, nature, and procedures for requesting information and germplasm.
The document describes the methodology for prospecting and calculating the disease index in vineyards in the Jerez region, aiming to quantify the magnitude of the problem and the evolution of symptoms associated with wood diseases.
The document provides an overview of Spanish scientific policy regarding the conservation of ex situ plant genetic resources and the strategy recently adopted by IFAPA.
The high cost of misting systems and their use for only temporary climate control during the growing season do not allow for optimal return on investment, which is why they have begun to be used as equipment for applying phytosanitary products.
During the spring of 2014, watermelon plants in a greenhouse located in the province of Almería exhibited symptoms similar to those induced by Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV), such as necrosis of fruit, leaves, and stems.
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.
