Managing dehesas is complex. It requires knowledge and skills that can only be acquired through training and experience. Incorporating biodiversity promotion into dehesas should be a criterion used in decision-making to improve management and make them more sustainable.
Mango is one of the most prized exotic fruits worldwide. In Andalusia, it is cultivated commercially in the provinces of Granada and Málaga thanks to the area's characteristic microclimate. Deficit irrigation is an optimization strategy whereby crops are subjected to a controlled level of water stress, resulting from a reduction in water input based on the crop's net demand.
The wheat midge is a pest present in Andalusian wheat every season, usually in a secondary role. However, its incidence has been increasing in recent seasons. This publication analyzes the insect's life cycle and the control measures available for its dissemination in the Andalusian cereal sector.
The rapid growth of the world's population leads to a high demand for food. This requires the development of new techniques and compounds for use in agriculture, which generate numerous environmental problems. Notable among these is the use of phytosanitary products and pesticides for pest control. Both their application and preparation are sources of environmental pollution.
The almond worm (Capnodis tenebrionis L) has become the main pest affecting almond crops, to the point that it can kill the plant and cause the uprooting of plantations.
Citrus HLB is currently considered the most devastating disease affecting citrus crops worldwide, but it is not yet present in the Mediterranean area. It is a bacterial disease transmitted by two insect vectors: the Asian citrus psyllid (Diaphorina citri) and the African citrus psyllid (Trioza erytreae).
The soil-borne fungus Fusarium solani has been reported as a pathogen for strawberry plants. The fungus infects plant roots, causing symptoms of wilting, stunting, and poor root production, with subsequent crop yield loss.
IFAPA is developing a line of research to identify and evaluate the technological and institutional demands of the olive sector in Andalusia within a project called Transforma (Olive Grove and Oil).
IFAPA has been working on new methods to develop proper irrigation scheduling in areas without a nearby meteorological station or in areas where the existing station is not representative of the study area.
Grafting in tomato is mainly used to: i) prolong the harvest period and greenhouse production; ii) counteract production losses caused by soil-borne pathogens; and iii) increase plant vigor without affecting fruit size or quantity. This document summarizes the advantages and limitations of grafting tomato on rootstocks resistant to nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne.
The interest in conserving and achieving better use of a local resource such as the Gordal vine variety has been the basis of a socioeconomic development project that has brought together a public research organization, the Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research and Training (IFAPA), the Rural Development Group (GDR) of the Altiplano de Granada, as well as winegrowers and winemakers
Interest in producing sparkling wines using the traditional method as a means of diversification is growing in Andalusian wine-growing regions.
The document contains useful information for the integrated control of this parasitic plant, addressing aspects of its morphology, life cycle, preventive measures, etc.
The document collects information on the possibilities of controlling the pathogen jopo (Orobanche creata Forsk.) in grain legumes under integrated production cultivation systems.
The essay presented here is a first step toward assessing the potential use of sweet wines for incorporation into the goat cheese production process. Among them, Pedro Ximénez wine, aged for five years, stands out, demonstrating, from a consumer perspective, sensory and, therefore, commercial potential for use as an additive in goat cheese production.
Establishing native vegetation as favorable habitats for natural enemies enhances their abundance and diversity. This increased diversity is especially useful in highly simplified agricultural landscapes, such as those with greenhouse horticultural crops. Spiders are one of the most abundant and ubiquitous generalist predators in agroecosystems.
The study "Horticulture and Gender 2020" aims to be a useful tool to contribute to improving the quality of life of women farmers by identifying potential needs or shortcomings. It analyzes the current trend based on the results obtained from a similar study conducted in 2006.
The key factor for greenhouse-protected horticultural cultivation is the climate under the cover, which favors crop development and precocity, but also promotes the development of pests and diseases, including plant-parasitic nematodes.
Property division is the result of the application of an inheritance system that encourages the division of assets among heirs and the failure of measures intended to halt this process. It hinders efficient land management, leading to economic, social, and environmental inefficiencies.
Chickpeas have been a traditional crop throughout the Mediterranean Basin, becoming part of dryland agricultural alternatives alongside cereals. Their hardiness, the improving effect they have on the soil, and the human use of their grain for food have been the main reasons for this.
