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 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.

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.

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.

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-destructive analytical technique that allows the differentiation of bitter almonds, with more than 5 mg/g of amygdalin, from non-bitter almonds.

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.

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

This "Agro-Environment and Climate" Training Day is part of the actions aimed at ensuring proper compliance with the agro-environmental commitments acquired in some of the operations included in Measure 10 of the Andalusian Rural Development Program (PDRA).

This document presents the varietal composition, expressed in percentages of plants per variety, for the current 2017/2018 crop season, as well as the participation of each breeding program. This work is based on information provided by breeding companies or licensees of the main strawberry breeding programs.

This document presents the varietal composition, expressed in percentages of plants per variety, for the current 2018/2019 crop season, as well as the participation of each breeding program. This work is based primarily on information provided by breeding companies or licensees of the main strawberry breeding programs.

This technical report presents the information obtained from the last three growing seasons (2012-2013, 2013-2014 and 2014-2015) regarding the estimated varietal distribution in Huelva, in terms of the percentage of plants in production.

This Technical Report presents the varietal composition, expressed in percentages of plants per variety, for the current 2016/2017 crop season, as well as the participation of each breeding program. This work is based on information provided by breeding companies or licensees of the main strawberry breeding programs.

Among the traits considered in strawberry breeding programs, in addition to those related to crop productivity, are those that confer organoleptic quality. And among consumers, this quality is undoubtedly the one that receives the most attention.

Among the problems generated by the greenhouse production system and which can limit its sustainability, the high annual production of crop residues (1,751,242 t/yr-1) stands out, the accumulation of which constitutes a serious environmental problem.

The purpose of this paper is to present the possibilities that the use of the scratching technique offers for citrus cultivation, in addition to describing the fundamentals and correct method of implementation in the field.

The purpose of this paper is to present the potential that the use of different techniques and products offers for citrus cultivation. In this vein, and as part of IFAPA's ongoing research, we present the results of an experimental trial evaluating grating and the use of natural plant growth regulators to improve fruit set in Navel Powell.

Over the last decade, there has been an intense debate about the economic sustainability of Andalusian olive groves, where mountain and traditional systems coexist with intensive ones. This study aims to contribute to increasing knowledge about their profitability. To this end, a multi-stage survey of olive farms was conducted to establish their cost structure.

Unit 1 describes in detail the role of trees in this system, sets out the process of natural tree regeneration, as well as the factors that promote and hinder it in the dehesa, and characterizes the state of tree regeneration in the dehesa in Andalusia.
