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.

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 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.

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.

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 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).

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

This paper describes the diseases caused by soil-borne fungi detected in eggplant crops grown under plastic in southeastern Andalusia.

This study aims to study the effect of mesh mulching under these growing conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of black mesh mulching and two water regimes (100% ETc and 66.6% ETc) on the Clementina de Nules variety under saline irrigation water (low-quality, high-conductivity water) and plot soil conditions in the province of Almería.

In the search for alternative crops to conventional greenhouse-grown vegetables, this study evaluated the greenhouse production of six cultivars of sweet cucumber (Solanum muricatum). The trials were conducted in 2015. All cultivars developed successfully, achieving high yields, with the Valencia cultivar standing out as the most productive and earliest.

In the 2018-19 campaign, two trials of RAEA rapeseed varieties were carried out, located on the Dos Hermanas farm (Montemayor) and the Villaverde Alta farm (Córdoba).

During the 2014-2015 crop season, severe phytotoxicity damage was observed in the early stages of sunflowers planted in late winter or early spring. The effects were severe in some farms, resulting in almost the entire crop being lost, while in others, the damage was milder, and the crop managed to reach maturity.

In the town of Cuevas Bajas (Málaga), a native variety of purple carrot known as "Zanahoria Morá" is grown. This variety is characterized by its intense purple exterior, an orange middle layer, and a distinctive purple core. The purple interior color appears to be influenced by the growing area, as it has been observed that this variety grown elsewhere does not develop this color.

This paper presents the results obtained between 2013 and 2018 in a Pedro Ximénez vineyard grown organically in southern Córdoba. Three soil management treatments were evaluated: traditional tillage (TTT), spontaneous vegetation cover (SVC), and seeded vegetation cover (SVC). The effects of the different treatments on parameters related to grape physiology, yield, and quality were compared.

This paper presents the results obtained during the 2018-2019 crop year with twelve varieties under conventional cultivation conditions but with biosolarized soil. This technique combines two elements: the incorporation of biofumigant organic matter (biofumigation) and simultaneous soil solarization.

This work presents the results of an in vitro study on the ability of two probiotic bacteria (Bifodobacteria longum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus), bacteria commonly present in the intestinal tract and which are also used as food supplements, to transform or metabolize the majority phenolic compounds in oranges into other compounds which are responsible for the beneficial effects attributed to th

This paper aims to provide an overview of the state of the art regarding the use of SO2 in winemaking. It details the recommendations adopted by the International Organization of Vine and Wine (OIV) to reduce SO2 dosages at the various stages of winemaking without compromising wine quality.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of black mesh mulching on the Clementina de Nules variety in two water regimes (100% ETc and 66.6% ETc) under the agroclimatic conditions of the coastal area of the province of Malaga.

This paper aims to provide some key insights into improving irrigation management in Andalusian avocado cultivation. Irrigation and proper water resource management are critical factors for maintaining crop viability and long-term sustainability in the face of current water scarcity and future climate change forecasts.

This work provides a comprehensive description of greenhouse horticulture, stemming from the interest of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development of the Regional Government of Andalusia in understanding the technological evolution of the horticultural sector in Almería.
