This document presents the passport data for the various entries in the Vicia faba Core Collection of the IFAPA Legume Germplasm Bank. The objective is to provide information to public and private breeding teams for this germplasm.

This document presents a report on the activities carried out by the IFAPA Hinojosa del Duque sperm collection center during 2014, through a research contract with the Payoya Goat Breeders Association (ACAPA).

This document presents a study of the effects of applying PGP bacteria to strawberry plants, with a dual purpose: first, to increase root development and therefore plant growth through the use of auxin-producing bacteria, and second, to combat the pathogenic fungus M. phaseolina, using bacteria as biocontrol.

This document presents the results of an experimental trial in greenhouse cultivation of three varieties of blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) as an alternative to conventional horticultural crops.

This document presents an estimate of the varietal composition of strawberry crops in the province of Huelva during the current 2020-2021 crop year, expressed as a percentage of plants per variety in production. It also shows the participation of the main breeding programs.

This document describes and sets forth a series of recommendations on olive grove pruning practices to be carried out once the plantation has reached the productive period.

This document presents a new model of citrus cultivation system called Superintensive, i.e., high-density plantations with trees of reduced vigor with approximately 2,200 plants/hectare, narrower planting frames and hedge formation through the use of mechanized pruning, aimed at mechanized harvesting with riding equipment that shakes foliage, like a grape harvester.

This document constitutes the teaching material for conducting laboratory exercises in Module 8: "Quality Control," corresponding to the "Cheese Specialist" Training Program.

This document includes several crops with development potential in Andalusia due to their adaptability to certain regions based on their soil and climate requirements and the market opportunities they represent.

This type of cheese originates from the Castilian region of La Mancha, the main destination for transhumant sheep herds. This area is used for grazing in winter and spring, when milking seasons are most common, with the highest milk production and, therefore, the most common cheesemaking season.

This second edition of the Manual for the Application of Phytosanitary Products at the Fumigator Level includes some modifications to the content and wording compared to the one published in 2017, with the aim of updating and improving the quality of the training provided by both accredited entities and IFAPA.

This document includes general aspects of both secondary and newly emerging species, providing information on their biology, the crops most affected by each species, as well as the damage they cause and the chemical and biological control measures currently available.

This document presents the results of a series of trials aimed at developing a new strategy for introducing the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii into cucumber crops.

This publication aims to incorporate an element of interest into farmers' decision-making, since knowledge of variety adaptability and behavior is crucial for knowing what to sow based on the harvest's intended use.

This publication describes an approach for estimating crop water requirements by integrating remote sensing information into the guidelines contained in FAO Manual 56. Accurate estimation of crop water consumption, or evapotranspiration (ET), allows irrigation inputs to be adjusted to actual plant needs. This would optimize water use, reducing the environmental impact of irrigation.

This publication provides a series of basic concepts on the use of remote sensing focused on the agricultural sector. The various sections of the document detail the fundamental characteristics and resolution of the data provided by remote sensors, as well as the main satellites currently available for agricultural applications.

Spain and Andalusia are the world's leading olive oil exporters, experiencing strong growth in recent years. This has led to an increased demand for internationally recognized quality standards, one of the most important being ISO 9001.

This guide contains the information needed to successfully cultivate vetch (Lathyrus sativus) under extensive dryland conditions, using conventional, integrated, or organic production models.

This cultivation guide aims to provide information on sunflower plant development, current trends in cultivation techniques, different planting methods and seasons, as well as the most common diseases and pests in Andalusia.

This growing guide aims to provide information on the outdoor cultivation method for watermelons (Citrullus lanatus). This crop occupies 9% of the world's vegetable crop area. Andalusia is the leading region in both cultivated area and production.
