Strawberries, in addition to being highly valued for their flavor, are considered healthy fruits, as they contain bioactive compounds, both in the receptacle and in the achenes, linked to multiple health benefits.

Diseases caused by soil-borne pathogens are a limiting factor for strawberry crop productivity. Currently, they are mainly controlled through chemical control strategies with fumigants subject to exceptional use authorizations. Reducing the use of these agrochemical fumigants and implementing more sustainable alternatives are priority objectives in European and national agricultural policies.

The Agro-Environment and Climate Training Workshops are part of the initiatives aimed at ensuring proper compliance with the agro-environmental commitments acquired in some of the operations included in Measure 10 "Agro-Environment and Climate" of the Andalusian Rural Development Program 2014-2022.

Solarization is a soil disinfection system that involves mulching moist soil with thin, transparent plastic for 4–6 weeks during periods of peak temperature and solar radiation.

The lack of approved pre- and post-emergence herbicides, especially against dicotyledons, is one of the main obstacles to planting broad beans in Andalusian drylands, due to the great diversity and abundance of weeds, including highly competitive large species.

Lacewings are insects that are part of the complex of beneficial arthropods that prey on crop pests. Diversity has been shown to be a fundamental tool for maintaining this beneficial arthropod fauna and protecting crops from pest attacks. This work is part of a larger study whose main objective is to document the biodiversity of useful arthropods in protected horticulture in Almería.

The qualities of black peat are not optimal for use as a substrate alone. We sought to improve its low pH and tendency to compact, determining the optimal mixtures for use in nurseries with vegetable seedlings.

Mechanical harvesting has become increasingly prevalent in recent decades in most Andalusian vineyards adapted to this type of machinery. However, this technique has always raised concerns about the final quality of the products obtained and even the profitability of the operation due to the potential losses that can occur.

Traceability is defined as "the ability to find and follow the trail of a food product through all stages of production, processing, and distribution." This paper provides guidelines for implementing a traceability system for vegetables, and also shows an example from a pepper plantation.

The Granada plain is an agricultural area of approximately 1,500 km2 adjacent to the city, encompassing 47 municipalities. These fertile soils, with available surface and groundwater, are currently underutilized and threatened by the growth of the metropolitan area. Therefore, it is urgent to achieve profitability and generate employment for their maintenance.

Irrigation distribution uniformity (UD) indicates whether different parts of an irrigated plot receive water similarly. This document presents the results of localized irrigation assessments during the 2014/15 crop year in commercial plots of the Almonte Agricultural and Forestry District (Huelva) for a strawberry crop.

Agricultural management decisions in salinization-prone environments require effective soil salinity monitoring methods.

Pasta Hilada Cheese Technology comprises a series of cheeses that exhibit typical rheological characteristics, although we can differentiate between those that undergo a later ripening period and those that are fresh and have a short shelf life (Fresh Pasta Hilada), regardless of whether both types undergo lactic fermentation.

The cultivated area in Andalusia has undergone considerable change in recent years as a result of the decoupling of subsidies from the Common Agricultural Policy. With the entry into force of the new CAP, the sustainability of farms is clearly enhanced, favoring crop rotation, with special mention of legumes.

The reuse of reclaimed urban wastewater for irrigation is an alternative water resource to the exploitation of water from aquifers, although it can present problems with flow uniformity due to blockages in the emitters.
