Enoforum is a technical-scientific congress and a fair dedicated to wineries and wine companies. Objective: to bring together supplier companies, researchers, winemakers and winery and vineyard technicians to present the latest innovations and new technologies applicable to the sector. Enoforum, both in terms of the number of speakers and participants, is the largest technical congress dedicated to the wine and wine sector. For its 23rd edition, the event returns to the Zaragoza Trade Fair on May 20 and 21, 2026 . THE CONGRESS Enoforum arises from the encounter between: Public research, from which the ideas that give rise to new technologies often emerge. The supplier companies, whose R&D departments transform that knowledge into innovations applicable on a large scale. Viticultural technicians and oenologists, who as end users can contribute practical experience, identify real needs and propose new requirements. During Enoforum, interaction between these 3 pillars of innovation is facilitated, offering all participants the opportunity to contribute positively to the evolution and progress of the wine sector. Enoforum also reserves a prominent space in the program for supplier companies to present their solutions and technological innovations. It is a unique opportunity to showcase the results of research projects and to transfer innovation to a broad and highly qualified audience of experts. For more information: esp@enoforum.eu

On May 19, 2026 , the municipality of La Puebla de Cazalla (Seville) will host the demonstration workshop of the OLIVITECH Operational Group, a day focused on the application of advanced technological solutions for the optimization of olive grove management. Under the title “Optimization of Olive Growing through Technological and Aerobiological Analysis” , the meeting will be held from 11:00 to 12:30 and will focus on innovative tools to improve decision-making in plant health, with special attention to the monitoring of pollen and spores and the development of predictive models of diseases.

How to correctly record agricultural tasks and phytosanitary treatments when managing multiple farms from the perspective of the Register of Agricultural Holdings (REA). aGROSlab is organizing an online workshop to explain how to address this issue practically and in accordance with regulations, using the Multi-Farm Homogeneous Units functionality. Many integrated farms have different legal realities: several farms from a legal standpoint, with different REA registrations, but a single management unit in practice. This situation, common for tax, economic, or family reasons, creates operational difficulties when preparing the Farm Logbooks correctly and complying with the obligations associated with recording work and treatments. In daily fieldwork, agricultural tasks are not usually carried out with consideration for which legal farm each plot belongs to. In the specific case of plant protection treatments, it is common for them to be applied continuously to adjacent plots that, although corresponding to different REAs, are part of the same production unit. This way of working, perfectly logical from an agronomic point of view, has administrative and legal implications that should be understood and managed properly, especially regarding the Farm Logbook and the communication of treatments to third parties in the RETO system . This online workshop aims to explain how to address this problem in a practical and compliant manner, using the Multi-farm Homogeneous Units functionality of aGROSlab. CONTENT Throughout the session, the concept of these units , their different types, and the advantages they offer to those who work with or advise farms with multiple legal entities will be presented. A practical example will demonstrate how to create and modify these units and how to register a multi-farm phytosanitary treatment using both the web version and the mobile app. Furthermore, it will be explained how to correctly record these procedures in the Farm Management Books of each integrated farm and how, when applicable, to make the corresponding entries in the RETO system for treatments carried out on third parties. The workshop is aimed at farmers who work several farms from a registration point of view and advisors responsible for preparing Farm Records who are looking for...
