This study aims to evaluate the effect of a biofortification program with different doses of potassium in the form of KCl on cherry tomato production, fruit quality, ripening speed, and cold storage.

A study on the impact on biodiversity in four farms in the Seville countryside, where four different types of multifunctional margins have been established on farms with cereal-sunflower-legume rotations in the Lower Guadalquivir valley. Particular attention is paid to soil arthropod fauna and pollinators.

There is a need to improve cereal production to meet the increasing demand for food. By 2050, production is estimated to increase by 60%. Cereals—corn, rice, and wheat—represent 42.5% of all human calories.

This study aims to propose recommendations for the proper operation, inspection, and maintenance of pesticide application equipment in the main greenhouse areas of the province of Almería. The results presented here correspond to surveys conducted to determine the condition of application equipment in the Bajo Andarax and Campo de Dalías regions.

Europe faces the ongoing challenge of producing plant-based proteins. Broad beans are an excellent candidate, but they require further development with different agronomic characteristics and adaptations to different countries and agroclimatic regions.

There is a wide range of commercial alfalfa (Medicago sativa) varieties available to farmers for use as forage. To determine which variety or varieties are best suited to a specific production environment, it is necessary to conduct variety evaluation trials.

This paper analyzes the demand for certified quality olive oils in Andalusia, focusing on different Certified Quality Systems available to Andalusian consumers: integrated production, organic farming, carbon footprint, fair price, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Globalgap, among others.

This study aimed to determine whether there is variability in the green canopy trait within a collection of 21 chickpea ecotypes. The experiment was carried out on a farm in the municipality of El Carpio (Córdoba) during the 2021/2022 agricultural season. The statistical design of the trial was randomized blocks with three replications.

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.

This paper presents a study of the effect of applying bacteria to asparagus plants for the biocontrol of the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum, F. solani, and F. proliferatum. The studies were carried out on the Grande variety at the IFAPA Las Torres y Tomejil Center in Alcalá del Río (Seville).

This work is a continuation of previous studies, in which the authors tested the efficacy of several bacterial isolates in biocontrolling the fungus Macrophomina phaseolina under in vitro, greenhouse, and field conditions. In these studies, the bacterium known as Hvs8 was selected as a potential biocontrol agent under field conditions.

This material has been developed to provide a detailed overview of the pest Scirtothrips aurantii. It includes aspects such as its geographic distribution, life cycle, detection and monitoring methods, and current integrated management strategies.

This document addresses the knowledge of the antioxidant content in strawberries, their distribution in the different parts of the fruit, and the possible use of this information in genetic improvement programs.

This study analyzes the knowledge transfer network for the digital transformation of the Andalusian olive sector, using the Social Network Analysis (SNA) methodology.

This manual, dedicated to olive pruning, addresses aspects related to this olive cultivation technique with the aim of training olive growers in the decision-making necessary to achieve optimal management of this practice. Table of Contents: Unit 1: General Aspects of Olive Pruning; Unit 2: Olive Grove Bush Pruning; Unit 3: Olive Grove Hedge Pruning.

This material consists of a summary of the most common Mediterranean plants in Andalusia that can affect reproduction in small ruminants. To facilitate their identification, livestock management measures are proposed for prevention.

This document presents an estimate of the varietal composition of strawberry crops in the province of Huelva during the current 2021-2022 season, expressed as percentages of plants per variety put into production. It also shows the participation of the main breeding programs.

This document describes the process by which initial strawberry mother plants are obtained, from which, and according to the process described in the Technical Regulation for the Control and Certification of Fruit Nursery Plants (Royal Decree 929/95 of June 9, 1995), certified strawberry plants are obtained for fruit production in our country.

This document aims to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using ultrasound in the reproductive management of small ruminant farms, based on the experience of IFAPA through the RAEA of Sheep.
