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.
Animal welfare as a principle of livestock management is a concept that has been actively developed in recent years. The proper treatment of animals has been practiced since ancient times, although it has not been included in regulations. In this regard, the European Union is a pioneer in developing and guaranteeing the protection and welfare of animals.
Technical document on the methodology for implementing no-till farming and its impact as a climate change mitigation practice, sequestering atmospheric carbon and reducing atmospheric emissions.
During the 2020/2021 crop year, IFAPA characterized the productivity of a group of 12 varieties selected from those currently available on the market. The objective of this study is to study and demonstrate the differences in production-related parameters between the tested varieties.
During the 2023/2024 crop year, yield-related traits were analyzed in 16 strawberry varieties from different breeding programs grown in four cultivation systems in the Huelva growing region: conventional cultivation, cultivation without soil disinfection, soilless cultivation, and organic cultivation. The results obtained are presented in this paper.
Document showing the results of a three-year trial comparing the effects of manual pruning and mechanical pruning of two red grape varieties grown in the Montilla mountain range on their agronomic performance and oenological potential.
This document describes the results of the 2015 campaign on the productive potential of the local Gordal variety. It analyzes different winemaking techniques and evaluates their impact on the physical, chemical, and sensory characteristics of the wines. It also provides an agronomic and oenological description of the local and foreign varieties grown in the Granada Plateau.
Within the Andalusian Agricultural Experimentation Network (RAEA), during the 2017/2018 campaign, IFAPA characterized, both at the agronomic and quality levels, a group of 12 varieties selected from those currently available on the market from different improvement programs.
Within the Andalusian Agricultural Experimentation Network (RAEA), during the 2018/2019 campaign, IFAPA characterized, both at the agronomic and quality levels, a group of 12 varieties selected from those currently available on the market from different improvement programs.
As part of the Program for the Incorporation of Young People into Agricultural Businesses, this teaching manual, corresponding to "Module VI: Associations and Marketing," addresses aspects related to associative forms in the agricultural sector, such as cooperative societies, agricultural transformation societies, and other types of companies.
Description of the technique for implementing a slow-growing groundcover in an olive grove. Slow-growing annual species used as multi-year groundcover can be more easily planted by sowing them in narrow strips, protected on both sides by strips of faster-growing species, thus achieving better soil protection and less erosion during the first few months.
Due to its diversity and territorial extension, Andalusia is home to numerous minority varieties, offering local viticulture the opportunity to diversify its wine production. Between 2020 and 2022, molecular identification was carried out on 66 specimens from five traditional winemaking areas. Thirteen microsatellite markers were used, including the nine recommended by the OIV.
Due to climate change, significant warming is expected in Southern Europe, with significant increases in average summer temperatures (up by 6°C compared to temperatures at the end of the century) and substantial decreases in spring and summer rainfall. Heat waves, periods of drought, torrential rains, and thunderstorms (extreme events) will occur more frequently (IPCC 2014).
Considering the expansion that rapeseed (Brassica napus) cultivation has had in Andalusia, where the cultivated area has increased from approximately 1,000 hectares in 2014 to more than 17,000 hectares in 2017, IFAPA has considered reissuing an update of the "Rapeseed Cultivation Guide" which was carried out in 2009 by researchers from the IFAPA Center in Córdoba.
Continuing the series of projects initiated in the 2007 campaign, this trial network is conducting an agronomic evaluation of the most widely used commercial strawberry varieties in Huelva. These varieties are grown using conventional cultivation systems and planted on two dates: early (October 9) and standard (October 23).
Continuing the series of projects initiated in the 2007 campaign, this trial network is conducting an agronomic evaluation of the most widely used commercial strawberry varieties in Huelva. These varieties are grown using soilless cultivation systems and planted on two dates: early (October 10) and standard (October 22).
Given the importance for farmers to know the optimal time for olive harvesting in order to obtain the highest oil production and the best quality, this paper describes a study carried out on an olive grove in the province of Córdoba, where the oil accumulation behavior of three olive varieties was evaluated: Hojiblanca, Arbequina, and Koroneiki.
Cereals, oilseeds and protein crops
As a result of the efficient implementation of an increasing number of breeding programs, a wide range of strawberry varieties is now available. Given this broad offering, fruit productivity and quality are key parameters for producers and technicians when selecting varieties to grow, with quality being the main parameter for consumers.
To adapt the volume of phytosanitary mixture to crop development, a series of tools (tables and graphs) have been developed to estimate it for greenhouse tomatoes, based on easily measurable geometric parameters of the plant mass and the treatment equipment used. This document presents these tools and explains their use.
