The document describes the methodology for prospecting and calculating the disease index in vineyards in the Jerez region, aiming to quantify the magnitude of the problem and the evolution of symptoms associated with wood diseases.

The document characterizes the productive structure of the olive sector in the province of Jaén using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), including the size, fragmentation, and dispersion of agricultural plots. It then proposes efficiency measures for agricultural management based on shared and assisted cropping systems.

The development of a sustainable system for corn cultivation requires, in addition to agronomic research, studies, currently scarce, on the economic viability of the crop.

The development of new cultivation techniques, or the renewal of existing knowledge, are key and strategic elements in the development of Andalusian and Spanish citrus growing.

This document is a guide to Operation 10.1.5. Sustainable Agroindustrial Crop Systems, of the Andalusian PRD 1014-2020. This document aims to provide information on the agronomic and environmental benefits of this practice, as well as offer a series of technical recommendations to follow for its proper implementation.

The document is a Sainfoin Cultivation Guide.

Blueberry cultivation gained momentum in the province of Huelva at the beginning of this century when strawberry growers began to diversify their production with other berries. Furthermore, it is becoming a highly sought-after fruit in Spain and throughout Europe, as more and more consumers are aware of the health benefits this type of product can offer.

Organic pea cultivation under greenhouse conditions can be an interesting alternative to conventional protected horticultural crops, as it is a minority crop in greenhouses in southeastern Spain, especially in organic cultivation. The main objective of this experiment was to evaluate both the production and adaptation of seven pea cultivars to certified organic greenhouse cultivation.

Strawberry cultivation, along with other soft fruits, is constantly developing and is a key economic and social driver in the province of Huelva.

The compliance of fruits and vegetables with retail specifications, primarily in terms of aesthetic appeal according to consumer standards, is becoming one of the most pressing drivers of Food Losses and Waste (FLW). Nearly one-third of all fruits and vegetables produced in Europe are discarded each year due to their appearance.

Fig cultivation (Ficus carica L.) is one of the traditional Mediterranean crops that is on the rise, not only due to its unique flavor and nutritional value, rich in fiber, potassium, proteins, minerals, and vitamins, but also due to its resilience and adaptation to the conditions of different growing areas.

The fava bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important legume crop with a high protein content, adapted to diverse climatic conditions, and offering multiple benefits for the overall sustainability of cropping systems. The demand for plant-based proteins is expanding, and fava beans are a good candidate to meet this need.

The Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl) offers extensive possibilities for organic cultivation in the Guadalquivir Valley; however, pest and disease control represents one of the most significant challenges for this production system.

Animal welfare as a management principle in livestock farming is a concept that has been actively developed in recent years. The proper treatment of animals has been practiced since ancient times, although it has not been included in regulations. In this regard, the European Union is a pioneer in developing and guaranteeing the protection and welfare of animals.

Cotton is the most traded non-food agricultural product worldwide. It is widely produced and consumed, making it one of the most cultivated crops in the world. It is one of the most important crops in the agricultural and livestock industry of Andalusia, where almost 100% of Spain's cultivated land is concentrated.

The objective of this publication is to provide the agricultural sector with up-to-date information on broad bean plant material tested in western Andalusia, including its agronomic and productive performance. A quick overview of the document will provide farmers with guidance on these varieties.

In recent years, there has been a shift in the market toward higher-quality products, often originating from artisanal production systems. However, the focus is not only on quality, but also on variety, and on the launch of innovative products that attract consumers.

The high cost of misting systems and their use for only temporary climate control during the growing season do not allow for optimal return on investment, which is why they have begun to be used as equipment for applying phytosanitary products.

The almond tree, Prunus dulcis (Mill.) DA Webb, is one of the most important crops in Spain, mostly grown under rainfed conditions and in marginal areas where inputs are very scarce.
