According to forecasts, southern Europe will be significantly affected by a change in climatic conditions, and therefore, Andalusian agricultural systems may be severely affected. Thus, rising temperatures and decreasing rainfall will be the most visible effects and could have a negative impact on wheat cultivation.

The results of a study of 11 pistachio varieties grown in Andalusia during the 2019 and 2020 seasons are presented, assessing their total phenolic compound content, antioxidant activity, carotenoid content, and chlorophyll content. The color of the shell, the integument, and the interior of the fruit are also studied.

A detailed review of irrigation scheduling for soft fruit crops in the province of Huelva, using weather forecasts, is presented. The scheduling is based on the FAO methodology for calculating crop water requirements. The procedure for calculating greenhouse ETo is described, and specific Kc values for soft fruit crops in the province of Huelva are proposed.

Both large wineries and cooperatives have highly qualified personnel dedicated to the chemical oenological control of grapes, must, and wine. However, in small, family-run wineries and presses, this specialization is not as common.

The results of an experimental trial within the scope of the Transforma Project PR.TRA23.TRA2023.002 (SOSDEGAN) Innovations for the Sustainable Management of Pasture and Livestock Resources in Dehesas and Semi-Extensive Systems in Andalusia, in the livestock module, are presented.

Riego Berry is a mobile application from IFAPA (the Regional Government of Andalusia's Agricultural Development Agency) that allows for quick and intuitive irrigation recommendations for strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry crops in the province of Huelva.

The importance of legumes in agriculture and the role these crops play in light of the new reform of the Common Agricultural Policy are described. The document focuses on the difficulties of weed control in legumes and the most relevant aspects of cultivating broad beans and chickpeas, the main legumes grown in Andalusia.

This digital tool is designed to schedule and optimize irrigation for citrus crops using soil water balance, considering meteorological, soil, and plantation data.

The winemaking potential of two native Andalusian grape varieties, Beba and Mantúo de Pilas, is being evaluated. The study was conducted in Jerez de la Frontera over four consecutive seasons. Palomino Fino was also included as a reference variety, as it is the most widely cultivated variety in Jerez (95%).

The fundamentals of competition and interference between plant species are described. The first few weeks are crucial. Strategies for planting cover crops, planting timing, seed conditioning, and management have been outlined.

The production costs of small olive farms are analyzed to demonstrate the importance of family labor in their profitability and to highlight the importance of CAP subsidies. In addition, innovative production strategies are proposed that would reduce production costs and thus increase profitability.

Results obtained from a demonstration trial conducted in the 2016/2017 campaign on the use of biofumigation and solarization techniques in strawberry cultivation in Huelva, carried out on a collaborating farm and on the "Rociera" variety.

Results of a study conducted to test the effectiveness of soil solarization and biosolarization in controlling pathogens. The pathogens studied were: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, Pythium aphanidermatum, Pythium solare, Phytophthora capsici, and Phytophthora nicotianae var. parasitica.

Results of a study evaluating the agronomic performance of conventional and new hybrid (semi-dwarf) rootstocks, carried out during the 2013/14 and 2014/15 campaigns under the agroclimatic conditions of the coastal area of the province of Malaga, with the aim of obtaining consistent information to optimize the agronomic management of plantations and thus their profitability.

Results of the agronomic behavior and response to the parasitic plant Orobanche crenata of a total of thirteen Andalusian local varieties of broad beans.

Summary of the statistics provided by the various authorized regulatory bodies in Andalusia between 2013 and 2014, to observe and analyze potential trends in organic livestock farming and their expectations for the new CAP framework 2015-2020.

Results of the evaluation of antioxidant compound content in the fruit of 13 plum varieties grown organically and conventionally in the province of Seville during 2012 and 2013.

Results of a trial conducted between 2017 and 2019 to determine the effect of irrigation on blueberry crop yield in the province of Huelva.

Results of a trial studying the in vitro efficacy of nine commercial fungicide formulations against Phytophthora capsici isolates obtained from zucchini and pepper plants grown in greenhouses in the province of Almería. Radial growth inhibition (RGI) of the isolates' colonies was evaluated for the minimum and maximum recommended doses of each fungicide separately.

Results of a 2013/2014 experiment on the influence of different nutrient solution salinity levels on fruit quality in two strawberry varieties (cv. 'Primoris' and cv. 'Albion') grown in greenhouses using leachate reuse systems.
