For a fair valuation of agricultural land, the total costs involved in managing a farm must be considered, without overlooking factors that, in certain cases, generate significant differences in agricultural accounting and, therefore, in the income to be considered as a starting value.

To assess the impact of plant pathology problems on strawberries and the perceived effectiveness of plant protection products, a survey was conducted among plant health technicians responsible for strawberry crops in Huelva.

Short-channel marketing experiences refer to a set of initiatives focused on food production, distribution, and consumption. These initiatives are developed, in most cases, as alternatives to more widespread forms of these activities. The objective of this study is to explore the current status of these initiatives in the marketing of organic vegetables in the provinces of Almería and Granada.

Procedure for the correct implementation and management of a Sinapis alba subsp. mairei plant cover and its use for biofumigation

It sets out the commitments to be fulfilled by all beneficiaries of this operation, with the aim of implementing good agro-environmental practices by making sustainable use of the natural resources that coexist with olive cultivation, making it a profitable crop both economically and environmentally.

Irrigation recommendations for olive groves during years of low rainfall, offering strategies to mitigate, as much as possible, the effects of water stress on olive and oil production.

Tensiometers are instruments that measure the matric potential or matric tension of soil. This is an indirect measure of soil moisture and is caused by the forces that retain water in the capillaries and on soil particles.

Manual intended for use in courses on Animal Welfare in Poultry Farms. The courses will have a minimum duration of 20 hours and are intended for owners and those working on poultry farms.

To further our understanding of the interaction between water and fertilizer requirements in sunflower cultivation, a three-year experiment was conducted testing different irrigation volumes, different fertilization strategies, and their potential interactions on seed yield, oil content, and other yield components. This document presents the results of the experiment.

The objectives of this study were to analyze the environmental impacts of existing olive production systems in Andalusia, select and improve agricultural practices to identify the processes that cause the most significant environmental problems, and design a more efficient and environmentally friendly olive cultivation management system.

The objectives of this study are, first, to develop an integrated model for assessing the multifunctionality of olive groves in Andalusia based on the ANP technique, and second, to apply this model to improve the design of agri-environmental policies focused on multifunctionality, defining the agricultural practices with the greatest potential to affect the multifunctional performance of olive

The main objectives of this work are: 1) the selection of plants capable of accumulating and immobilizing heavy metals in their aerial parts (phytoremediation) to be used in soils contaminated by heavy metals, mainly copper, since its use is still permitted in agriculture and 2) the subsequent implementation of the Phytobac system.

Externally moldy soft cheeses are characterized by the presence of a white outer coating, caused by the growth of Penicillium molds on the surface. The presence of this mold gives these cheeses a distinctive appearance, aroma, and flavor. These cheeses originate in France and are increasingly popular among consumers, with demand for them increasing.

Cheeses made from cow's milk are typical of the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, where cattle are predominantly farmed. The production of this product, as with goat and sheep milk, was born with the aim of enhancing the value of the raw material, milk, and obtaining greater returns from livestock farms. Today, there is a wide variety of cheeses made from cow's milk nationwide.

Cheeses made using lactic coagulation originate in France, where they are primarily made from goat's milk, due to the productive potential of the country's goat herd. The beginning of this type of cheese dates back to the 18th century, when Muslim expansion led to the introduction of goats into France, with their milk being used in the production of this dairy product.

The results presented here are derived from the work carried out within the research project "Agronomic Response of Rice to Saline Irrigation at Different Crop Phases," initiated and defined by Hisparroz, SA, in collaboration with IFAPA, as part of the line of work on Rice Cultivation Sustainability.

Grain legumes have traditionally been cultivated in Andalusian drylands primarily for the production of vegetable protein for human and animal consumption. One of the main reasons for their abandonment as a crop has been the lack of approved pre- and post-emergence herbicides, especially against dicotyledons.

Ready-to-eat foods are highly demanded by today's society in developed countries due to the lifestyle changes that have occurred in recent decades. Cooked vegetables stand out among these foods. The heat treatments they undergo produce physical, chemical, and nutritional changes that need to be characterized. Furthermore, these products typically have a relatively short shelf life.

External aspects (presentation, appearance, uniformity, ripeness, freshness) are the main components of the decision to purchase tomatoes for fresh consumption. Internal quality (flavor, aroma, texture, nutritional value, absence of biotic and abiotic contaminants) is linked to aspects that are generally not perceptible but are no less important for consumers.

Changes in regulations and the need to adapt and update content justify the new edition of the Book on the Application of Biocides for Veterinary Hygiene.
