The budding, survival, and initial growth of eight walnut clones selected for their forestry suitability were evaluated. Planting was carried out in March 2014 using a randomized complete block design. All clones tested, except one, had budding percentages above 50%. We can classify clones as early-budding and late-budding. The duration of the budding period varies depending on the clone.

Recording of the webinar organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on September 18, 2024, to share with the agri-food and forestry sector the main results of the i2connect project: Connecting Advisors. Promoting Interactive Innovation in Agriculture and Forestry.

Annual report of the European Network of Forestry Extension Organisations (FOREXT) with information on training activities for private forest owners to improve forestry extension services across Europe

One of the key factors for improving the competitiveness of the agri-food and forestry sector is the promotion of innovation and the capitalisation of research results.

To combine innovation in the rural world through technological transfer and the use of silvopastoral systems for the production of native Celtic pigs that give rise to products of differentiating quality through the use of own resources that allow sustainable and environmentally friendly practices within the agricultural and forestry sectors, carrying out activities that mitigate climate change

In agricultural landscapes, their aesthetic, ecological, and cultural dimensions are clearly integrated, creating a link between the cultural ecosystem services they provide to society and other ecosystem services, including biodiversity preservation.

This publication describes the progress made by IFAPA in remote sensing modeling of water flows and vegetation cover in dehesa forests.

This publication describes a series of advances made at IFAPA to integrate information from remote sensing into the management of extensive grazing in dehesa systems. To achieve this, data provided by these sensors, primarily onboard satellites and aircraft, are combined with precise field measurements and models.

The purpose of this publication is to present the most important technical aspects that define tree pruning in the dehesa, as well as the limitations and precautions that must be taken into account when carrying out its implementation. Unit 1 presents the general criteria and physiological basis that must be taken into account when approaching tree pruning in the dehesa.

This document reviews the main factors, both internal and external to the tree, that affect acorn production in the dehesa. This document summarizes the talk given at the 9th Iberian Pork Conference, organized by ASAJA Córdoba on April 6, 2016, in Villanueva de Córdoba.

This manual covers the basics of sheep production in the dehesa, the minimum facilities required for proper management, feeding based on pasture availability in the dehesa, reproductive management, health, hygiene, and animal welfare aspects, and reviews the differentiating factors between conventional production and organic and integrated production.

This manual is intended as a reference tool for identifying erosion risks in pastureland farms and recommends actions to address them where possible. Specifically, the manual outlines good soil management practices and devotes a chapter to the control of gullies, the appearance of which is a symptom of severe erosion.

The acorn plays a fundamental role in the dehesa (pasture) because it is obtained in a season when there are few resources available in the countryside, and its high energy value makes it highly valued for fattening and maintaining livestock and game.

The Dehesa or pastureland system is a livestock agroecosystem comprised of two basic components: the tree (usually Quercus sp.) and the vegetation cover (grass and scrubland). Extensive livestock farming (cattle, sheep, and Iberian pigs) takes advantage of their products.

Root rot caused by the pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. has been identified as one of the most damaging and lethal diseases affecting Quercus trees worldwide.

Root rot affecting Quercus, caused by soil-borne pathogens such as Phytophthora cinnamomi or Pythium spiculum, is responsible for many deaths of holm oaks and cork oaks in dehesas. Calcium fertilization is a tool for integrated disease control.

Root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi in Quercus trees is responsible for the death of holm oaks and cork oaks in dehesas. Biofumigation using green burying of some Brassicas may be another tool for integrated disease control.

Results of the evaluation carried out on the impact of the actions carried out by the LIFE+ Biodehesa Project in Andalusia.
