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 "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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Under the conditions of the Cordoba countryside, in a year with favorable weather conditions for crop and weed development, malting barley proved to be highly competitive with weeds, more so than wheat, as observed in previous trials.

In high-frequency localized irrigation, the factor that most influences irrigation distribution within a plot is the duration of the irrigation pulse. This study evaluates the effect of irrigation pulse duration on the production and quality of an Iceberg lettuce crop grown on a sloping plot. The trial was conducted during a short summer cycle in Huéneja (Granada).

In recent years, new sunflower varieties have appeared on the market. These varieties are characterized by their genetic resistance to certain herbicide treatments, providing acceptable control of broad- and narrow-leaved weeds, as well as the common bean (Orobanche cumana).

In recent years, almond cultivation has gone from being relegated to unproductive, dryland areas to becoming a clear alternative to other traditional crops in highly fertile agricultural areas, making intensive use of irrigation.

Centaurea diluta infestations are becoming increasingly frequent and significant in the Andalusian countryside. This species belongs to the Compositae family and in southern Spain undergoes staggered emergence from the first autumn rains until well into spring, which is why it is found in many alternative crops, practically all of them.

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.

In the springs of 2015 and 2016, phytotoxicity damage was observed in sunflower crops attributed to residues of sulfonylurea herbicides applied to the previous wheat crop. This study proposes new trials to expand on previous studies.

This paper describes the soil-borne diseases detected in pepper crops grown under plastic in southeastern Andalusia.
