This document presents the results of a study that evaluates the effect of the electrical conductivity (EC) of the nutrient solution and carbon dioxide fertilization through the addition of CO2 to the greenhouse on the quality and shelf life of Raf tomato (cv. Delizia).

This paper presents the results of the capsaicin content of a collection of 110 new pepper varieties developed by a company in Andalusia, finding values between 200 and 250,000 Scoville units.

This document presents the physical-chemical and sensory quality results of two orange varieties, Navelina and Salustiana, widely cultivated in the Guadalquivir Valley, in conventional and organic cultivation.

This document presents a technical evaluation of three phytosanitary applications carried out with a manual spray lance at different working pressures (20 bar, 15 bar and 10 bar), determining the quantity of sprayed product that falls on the plant mass, the uniformity of the distribution of the applied product on the plant and the losses to the soil of the sprayed product generated, with the ai

This document presents the procedure for inoculating chickpeas with the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. ciceris under controlled conditions. This procedure enables anyone interested to carry out this process.

This document reviews the main theoretical and practical aspects that may be useful in combating the main pests of stone fruit trees in our community, within the Integrated Production Program contemplated in the Regulations for Integrated Production of peach, plum and apricot trees in Andalusia (BOJA, 2013).

This document describes the production process for nine types of preserves made from quince fruit and a quince leaf infusion. Process flow diagrams, product analytical characteristics, yield, and sensory evaluation are presented.

This document describes the fermented cabbage production process. It details the legal regulations that govern it, as well as the main alterations that can occur during the process and could impair its quality. It also presents the results of a trial that studied the effect of salt dosage and lactobacillus inoculum.

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 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 document describes in a simple way the technical foundations for measuring the main climate sensors that can be incorporated into greenhouse horticulture to understand and respond to the factors that determine crop growth and development. It also provides some recommendations for their correct use.

This document describes the methodology to be followed for the identification of two aromatic compounds (mesifuran and gamma-decalactone) directly involved in the flavor of strawberry fruits.

This document provides the most appropriate recommendations for efficient water management in citrus cultivation in situations of water scarcity and under different availability scenarios. To this end, it is important to differentiate different action groups based on the authorized water allocation for the campaign, and recommendations or strategies to follow in each case will be made:

This document defines historical or traditional irrigation systems, characterizes them, lists their values, and addresses their current problems. Traditional irrigation systems, in addition to providing productive value that generates economic growth and employment, provide significant ecosystem services and are of special social, heritage, landscape, and historical importance.

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

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

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.
