Almonds have been gradually introduced into the Guadalquivir Valley under irrigated conditions in recent years as an alternative to other traditional crops with lower profitability. Therefore, there is a significant demand for knowledge regarding the most appropriate irrigation strategies for this crop, especially when water availability is below the crop's optimum.

The objective of this publication is to provide the agricultural sector with up-to-date information on chickpea 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.

During the 2023/2024 crop year, yield-related traits were analyzed in 16 strawberry varieties from different breeding programs grown in four cultivation systems in the Huelva growing region: conventional cultivation, cultivation without soil disinfection, soilless cultivation, and organic cultivation. The results obtained are presented in this paper.

During the spring of 2014, watermelon plants in a greenhouse located in the province of Almería exhibited symptoms similar to those induced by Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV), such as necrosis of fruit, leaves, and stems.

During the 2020/2021 campaign, a group of 14 varieties selected from those currently available on the market were characterized. The parameters evaluated and presented in this work are related to the production and quality of the different varieties.

During the 2020/2021 crop year, IFAPA characterized the productivity of a group of 12 varieties selected from those currently available on the market. The objective of this study is to study and demonstrate the differences in production-related parameters between the tested varieties.
