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 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 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 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 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 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 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.

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.

In olive cultivation, the use of plant covers has been implemented and extended as a cultural practice in the last decade.

The document evaluates the factors that influence the development of the disease and the impact on the production of two species of nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita and Meloidogyne javanica, affecting zucchini crops.

This document analyzes the main characteristics of citrus farms in Andalusia, including aspects such as farm area, main crops, and their average yields and most commonly used planting patterns. The data used in the study come from a survey of 203 citrus producers in the main growing areas of Andalusia.

This document briefly describes the characteristics of the four most important pest species of avocado crops in our area (two tetranychid mites and two mealybugs) and their main natural enemies (predatory mites, neuropterans, and coccinellids). Photographs accompany the description for quick identification.

The document describes and demonstrates the benefits of the Almond Irrigation App, a decision-making tool for farmers and technicians in the irrigated almond sector.

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.

Artisan goat, sheep, and cow yogurt is a dairy product produced daily by more and more small and medium-sized dairy companies in Andalusia. Its production typically incorporates natural, local products. This report establishes basic recommendations during the different production stages to obtain an optimal product from a technological, nutritional, and sensorial perspective.

In December 2015, a network of hedges with native shrub plants was established around several greenhouses at the IFAPA La Mojonera Center (Almería). These plantings constitute measures to improve biodiversity in the intensive horticulture landscape. One of the insect groups that can benefit from these interventions are dragonflies, which appear spontaneously on these plants and are predatory.

In Andalusia, olive groves with slopes greater than 20 represent 26.8 of the total olive grove area, including areas with limited land use due to a combination of factors such as altitude and slope, and which are unprofitable, leading to a high risk of abandonment for this crop in Andalusia.
