This document describes the various mechanisms and types of active food packaging currently on the market, and reviews new trends in smart packaging, edible coatings, biodegradable packaging, and materials with new properties thanks to nanotechnology.

This paper evaluates the water and fertilizer use efficiency of a recirculating system that reused the entire leachate solution in a cucumber crop grown on a perlite substrate during two growing cycles with different seasonalities: spring and autumn-winter.

This paper presents the results of the evaluation of the agronomic performance of conventional and new hybrid (semi-dwarf) rootstocks under the agroclimatic conditions of the coastal area of the province of Almería, carried out during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 campaigns, in order to obtain information that allows optimizing the agronomic management of the plantations and, therefore, their profita

This paper aims to evaluate the agronomic performance of three conventional rootstocks and three new hybrids (semi-dwarfing) under the agroclimatic conditions of the coastal area of the province of Malaga. This will provide consistent information that will allow for the optimization of the agronomic management of the plantations and, consequently, their profitability.

This paper aims to evaluate the agronomic performance of three conventional rootstocks and three new hybrids (substandard and semi-dwarf) under irrigation water salinity conditions (low-quality water with high electrical conductivity) in the province of Almería, in order to obtain consistent information that will allow for the optimization of the agronomic management of the plantations and thus

Southeast Andalusia is home to one of the largest greenhouse areas in the world. This intensive horticulture model has been based on the use of groundwater for irrigation, which has led to the overexploitation of aquifers and the deterioration of water quality.

This guide contains all the information concerning mollusc pests in citrus farming: recognition and control.

This presentation analyzes the Minimum Cultivation Unit (MCU) in olive groves in Jaén to assess its impact and proposes changes to the regulatory framework to curb excessive subdivision.

This document describes the effects of applying high hydrostatic pressure on food, in terms of the modification of its nutritional constituents, its organoleptic properties, and its preservation. This technology has introduced a wide variety of innovative, ready-to-eat products to the market.

This document analyzes the suitability of the d15N stable isotope analytical technique for differentiating between organically produced and conventionally produced oranges. It also examines which part of the fruit best identifies this difference.

This document analyzes published scientific information on the quality of organic products versus conventionally grown products from a health perspective, focusing specifically on how the cultivation system influences the antioxidant and vitamin content of the most commonly grown fruits and vegetables in Andalusia.

This document analyzes the presence of olive oil in the global vegetable fats market, its composition, and the relationship between its components and organoleptic, nutritional, and health properties.

This document presents the results obtained from the agronomic evaluation of twelve strawberry varieties at the Flor de Doñana partner farm in the municipality of Almonte, using organic farming techniques (EC Regulation 834/2007). This work was conducted to generate objective information about the performance of the studied varieties under the indicated conditions.

This document presents the results obtained at the 'El Cebollar' Experimental Farm during the agronomic evaluation of twelve strawberry varieties using conventional cultivation techniques, with the exception of the use of biosolarization for soil disinfection prior to planting.

This document presents the results of the agronomic evaluation of twelve strawberry varieties at the collaborating farm 'Fresperiquito' using conventional cultivation techniques (chemical soil disinfection with 1,3 dichloropropene plus chloropicrin).

This study describes the main characteristics of organic greenhouses located on the coast of Almería and Granada, based on a survey of 150 organic vegetable producers in the study area. Specifically, it describes the main technologies used by producers in their greenhouses, and finally compares organic and conventional production systems.

This project aims to enrich the World Olive Germplasm Bank with new material (landrace varieties) from Andalusia and increase the representativeness of Andalusian wild populations in the wild olive collection also housed at the IFAPA Center in Córdoba. The identification and diversity study of this material has been carried out using DNA molecular markers.

In this work (Degree Thesis), three strawberry varieties were studied, two of them short-day, 'Primoris' and 'Festival', and one day-neutral, 'Albion', each with a different planting date.

This paper presents the results obtained in an experimental trial carried out on a plot located in Hornachuelos (Córdoba-Andalusia) during three study campaigns, 2016/2017, 2017/2018 and 2018/2019.

In grape cultivation, the utilization of by-products is an important factor for sustainable production. One of these by-products is the grapes from the thinning of red grape bunches, which are normally discarded.
