Irrigation recommendations for olive groves during years of low rainfall, offering strategies to mitigate, as much as possible, the effects of water stress on olive and oil production.
The results presented here are derived from the work carried out within the research project "Agronomic Response of Rice to Saline Irrigation at Different Crop Phases," initiated and defined by Hisparroz, SA, in collaboration with IFAPA, as part of the line of work on Rice Cultivation Sustainability.
Ready-to-eat foods are highly demanded by today's society in developed countries due to the lifestyle changes that have occurred in recent decades. Cooked vegetables stand out among these foods. The heat treatments they undergo produce physical, chemical, and nutritional changes that need to be characterized. Furthermore, these products typically have a relatively short shelf life.
Efforts to reduce water consumption in strawberry cultivation should be directed toward both optimizing irrigation schedules and understanding the irrigation system's ability to apply water in a timely and appropriate manner.
The EU-Rotate_N and CropSyst simulation models were evaluated for outdoor lettuce cultivation. The performance of the models was assessed in relation to: i) dry matter production, ii) crop N uptake, iii) commercial production, iv) soil water content, and v) soil mineral N content. Data from three years with different nitrogen (N) doses were used.
Agricultural management decisions in salinization-prone environments require effective soil salinity monitoring methods.
Irrigation distribution uniformity (UD) indicates whether different parts of an irrigated plot receive water similarly. This document presents the results of localized irrigation assessments during the 2014/15 crop year in commercial plots of the Almonte Agricultural and Forestry District (Huelva) for a strawberry crop.
The reuse of reclaimed urban wastewater for irrigation is an alternative water resource to the exploitation of water from aquifers, although it can present problems with flow uniformity due to blockages in the emitters.
The use of water-filled plastic sleeves as heat accumulators in the greenhouse is a passive heating system that increases air and plant temperature during the cold season and increases pepper fruit production.
The extraction of olive oil by physical methods produces large quantities of olive and oil washing water. This water is stored in large ponds for evaporation, and is not reused. In this regard, a study was conducted on the agricultural, environmental, and business benefits and limitations of its use as irrigation in olive groves and on calm soil.
Fertilization through high-frequency localized irrigation improves the efficiency of plant nutrient use. The advantages of fertigation lie in the ability to apply nutrients directly to the root zone and according to the plant's nutritional demand. This requires understanding nutrient uptake curves over time. Uptake curves reflect the nutritional changes dependent on plant phenology.
Diffuse nitrate pollution from agricultural activities has been identified as one of the main causes of the poor condition of both surface and inland water bodies, as well as groundwater.
Evaluating reference evapotranspiration (ETo) at the plot, irrigation area, watershed, and regional levels is a challenge for agricultural and hydrological research; this requires the characterization of large areas in addition to obtaining precise meteorological variables.
Irrigation is essential to ensure crop quality and production in arid and semi-arid regions. The lack of rational irrigation scheduling can lead to inefficient management of irrigation systems with high potential efficiency.
Factors such as the type and concentration of inoculum of the defoliating pathotype of Verticillium dahliae in irrigation, root wounding of the olive tree, and the number of irrigation campaigns are considered for their effects on Verticillium wilt in the cultivar 'Picual' and the density of residual inoculum of the fungus in the soil.
Guide for fertigation of tomatoes in industrial crops, taking into account the limitation established in the regulations for integrated tomato production.
Until recently, there has been considerable uncertainty about the effect of the duration and number of irrigation pulses on irrigation efficiency and strawberry crop production in the province of Huelva. This document presents the results of a study conducted for this purpose on a commercial farm located in the TM of Almonte, applying irrigation pulses of 5, 10, and 15 minutes.
This paper presents a general review of the technical basis of infrared thermography, its potential, applicability, advantages, and disadvantages when used for water resource management and monitoring crop water status under stressful situations.
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.
In recent years, almond cultivation has gone from being relegated to unproductive, dryland areas to becoming a clear alternative to other traditional crops in highly fertile agricultural areas, making intensive use of irrigation.
