The improvement in knowledge of oat cultivation addressed in this document takes as its starting point the innovations incorporated in commercially available seeds. The results presented here are intended to evaluate the new varieties registered in Spain and Europe in relation to their agronomic, productive, disease resistance, and quality parameters.

Improving knowledge of the crop addressed in this publication, soft wheat, stems from the innovations incorporated into the seeds sold on the market. Generating information on new varieties registered in Spain or Europe in relation to agronomic, production, disease resistance, and quality parameters is of vital importance to farmers.

Improving knowledge of the crop addressed in this publication, soft wheat, stems from the innovations incorporated into the seeds sold on the market. Generating information on new varieties registered in Spain or Europe in relation to the following aspects: agronomy, production, disease resistance, as well as their quality parameters, is of vital importance to farmers.

The improved knowledge of barley cultivation offered in this document stems from the innovations incorporated in the seeds sold on the market. Information is provided on new varieties registered in Spain and Europe regarding agronomic, production, disease resistance, and quality parameters.

Most soil-borne pathogens persist in the growing media used in soilless cultures, requiring disinfection or replacement. Solarization is a disinfection system that involves covering the moist growing media with thin, transparent plastic for 4–8 weeks during periods of highest temperature and solar radiation.

Artisanal cow, goat, and sheep butter is a high-value product that is increasingly being produced by dairy companies, either using cream from skimmed milk or whey intended for the production of dairy products, or by purchasing cream from third-party companies.

Milk has a varied composition (proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals), is highly digestible and usable by the human body, and is highly suitable for the production of other food products.

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.

Horticulture in southeastern Andalusia covers an area of 31,173 ha (Junta de Andalucía, 2020), which implies a dispersed generation of a large volume of agricultural waste.

Uncertainty surrounding the legal status of the main active ingredients used in soil disinfestation for strawberry cultivation necessitates continued research into physical and biological alternatives that provide farmers with potential work tools in the event of a ban or restriction on the use of currently used options.

The importance that rapeseed (Brassica napus) cultivation has taken on in Andalusia, as the cultivated area has grown from just over 1,000 hectares in 2014 to more than 30,000 hectares in 2017, has led IFAPA, being aware of the importance of this crop and that rapeseed can be consolidated as a crop with a future in the alternatives of our region, to decide to start a trial network within the RA

The wide variety of livestock farms that exist has prompted the development of this common curriculum for the animal welfare program on livestock farms. This curriculum can be used when there is no specific published material for the species in question.

The purpose of this teaching material, "Diseases of stone fruit trees and their management in integrated production," is to assist and guide farmers and advisors in implementing the principles of integrated disease management following the National Action Plan for the Sustainable Use of Phytosanitary Products, and to complement the integrated pest management guide for stone fruit tree

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.

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.

The management of wine waste and by-products in the winery poses significant economic and environmental challenges.

The generation of plant waste is an unresolved environmental and social problem in horticulture under plastic. Its concentrated generation in spring and autumn, as well as its spatial dispersion, makes its management difficult.

The strawberry is a widely consumed fruit for its vibrant red color, characteristic flavor and aroma, and nutritional value. Due to these qualities, there is great interest in developing new varieties that enhance these traits.

The strawberry is a crop of great economic importance, whose fruit is highly appreciated and consumed for its delicate flavor, aroma, and nutritional value. Due to growing consumer demand, increasing the organoleptic and nutritional quality of the fruit is becoming a key objective of genetic improvement, with traits such as vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) content being key.

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.
