Recommendations for Composting Horticultural Remains.

One of the possibilities for managing and recovering plant waste is composting, minimizing transportation and processing costs to obtain a product that improves the soil's physical and chemical properties. Compost has great fertilizing value and improves the soil's water retention capacity. It also reduces leaching and the environmental impact on aquifers.

Guide to groundcovers in citrus trees

One of the fundamental objectives of sustainable production systems must be the control of water erosion of the soil, which requires appropriate soil management and conservation techniques.

Characterization of Functional Compounds in Different Strawberry Varieties

Several studies have shown that these varieties differ in the quantity and type of antioxidants. Given this multivarietal nature, it is interesting to know the antioxidant levels of the varieties grown each season. In fact, these antioxidants can vary depending on the phenological stage of the crop and the weather conditions during the season, which runs from autumn to late spring.

Ten years of applying alperujo compost in olive groves

The results of a ten-year study are presented, during which different mixtures of olive oil compost were applied to olive groves. The influence on the improvement of soil fertility and fruit oil yield was evaluated.

Progress of Productive and Quality Results of Strawberry Fruit in Conventional Cultivation obtained until December 31, 2015

Production data for the ten varieties under study are shown, obtained in the three conventional cultivation locations where the trials are carried out, up to February 28 and March 31 of this year 2015. In addition, data on organoleptic quality, firmness and soluble solids content, up to March 31, are expressed as the average of the three samplings carried out up to that point.

Greenhouse Horticultural Crops: Importance of Hygiene and Prophylaxis

Following the Delphi method, a panel of experts was established and consulted on the hygiene status of greenhouse horticultural crops, with a special focus on problems arising from inputs and crop management.

Sustainable Agro-environmental Crop Systems

Sustainable Agroindustrial Crop Systems is included in Submeasure 10.1. Payments for Agricultural and Environmental Commitments. This means that the beneficiary of this aid will receive financial compensation for carrying out a series of agricultural practices that are beneficial not only to the environment but also to the crops themselves.

Analysis of the production costs of small traditional no-till olive farms

The production costs of small olive farms are analyzed to demonstrate the importance of family labor in their profitability and to highlight the importance of CAP subsidies. In addition, innovative production strategies are proposed that would reduce production costs and thus increase profitability.

Green roof installation methods: fundamentals, applications, and management

The fundamentals of competition and interference between plant species are described. The first few weeks are crucial. Strategies for planting cover crops, planting timing, seed conditioning, and management have been outlined.

Oenological Potential of the Native Andalusian Varieties Beba and Mantúo de Pilas

The winemaking potential of two native Andalusian grape varieties, Beba and Mantúo de Pilas, is being evaluated. The study was conducted in Jerez de la Frontera over four consecutive seasons. Palomino Fino was also included as a reference variety, as it is the most widely cultivated variety in Jerez (95%).

Citrus Irrigation App Installation and User Guide

This digital tool is designed to schedule and optimize irrigation for citrus crops using soil water balance, considering meteorological, soil, and plantation data.

Effectiveness of Solarization and Biosolarization in Sand-Borne Crops Against Soil-Based Fungal Pathogens

Results of a study conducted to test the effectiveness of soil solarization and biosolarization in controlling pathogens. The pathogens studied were: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Pythium aphanidermatum, Pythium solare, Phytophthora capsici, and Phytophthora nicotianae var. parasitica.

Evaluation of local broad bean varieties. 2019/2020 campaign.

Results of the agronomic behavior and response to the parasitic plant Orobanche crenata of a total of thirteen Andalusian local varieties of broad beans.

The State of Organic Livestock Farming in Andalusia and its Projection

Summary of the statistics provided by the various authorized regulatory bodies in Andalusia between 2013 and 2014, to observe and analyze potential trends in organic livestock farming and their expectations for the new CAP framework 2015-2020.

Agronomic Study of Local Durum Wheat Varieties

Results of evaluation trials of nine local durum wheat varieties compared with four modern reference varieties to analyze their productive potential.

Irrigation with Brackish and Desalinated Water Mixtures in Greenhouse Pepper Crops

Results of trials conducted at the IFAPA La Mojonera Centre (Almería) to assess the influence of four water mixtures and two irrigation activation guidelines on production, water productivity and soil condition in a greenhouse pepper crop.

Fertilization practices in wheat under direct sowing: alternatives to the use of urea

Results of a research project that studied different alternative fertilization methodologies using urea. Among these, the use of nitrification inhibitors and urease stands out. The results were presented in terms of agronomic benefits (harvest, N in grain, etc.) and environmental benefits (reduction of nitrate leaching and N02 emissions).

Optimizing Irrigation and Fertilization in Sunflower Cultivation

To further our understanding of the interaction between water and fertilizer requirements in sunflower cultivation, a three-year experiment was conducted testing different irrigation volumes, different fertilization strategies, and their potential interactions on seed yield, oil content, and other yield components. This document presents the results of the experiment.
