Production data for the ten varieties under study are shown, obtained in the three conventional cultivation locations where the trials are carried out, up to February 28 and March 31 of this year 2015. In addition, data on organoleptic quality, firmness and soluble solids content, up to March 31, are expressed as the average of the three samplings carried out up to that point.
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.
Following the Delphi method, a panel of experts was established and consulted on the hygiene status of greenhouse horticultural crops, with a special focus on problems arising from inputs and crop management.
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.
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 the agronomic behavior and response to the parasitic plant Orobanche crenata of a total of thirteen Andalusian local varieties of broad beans.
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 trials conducted at the IFAPA La Mojonera Centre (Almería) to assess the influence of four water mixtures and two irrigation activation guidelines on production, water productivity and soil condition in a greenhouse pepper crop.
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.
Results of a study aimed at quantifying and evaluating the environmental impacts of eutrophication and ecotoxicity in strawberry cultivation, considering the entire life cycle of different production systems.
Results of preliminary trials conducted during the 2017/18 campaign on the use of three growth-promoting bacteria in strawberry crops. The objective of this study is to test whether inoculation with growth-promoting bacteria can, in part, reduce the use of synthetic products in a crop as important in the Andalusian countryside as the strawberry.
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.
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.
Commercial zucchini cultivars have a narrow genetic base that limits the development of new varieties. Diversifying and introducing new sources of genetic variability is a priority for maintaining the competitiveness required of horticultural crops.
Snack pepper cultivars differ in handling and marketing from the pepper cultivars commonly found in protected crops and are little known in the sector, thus continuing to occupy a small market share.
